The Volkswagen plant in Osnabrück, Germany, is being considered as a possible site to be converted into a military production facility, according to Armin Papperger, CEO of Rheinmetall, a major defense company. This idea arises after Volkswagen's interest in exploring alternatives for the future use of its plant, which could include a sale. Papperger highlighted that, although Rheinmetall could repurpose its own automobile factories to produce military equipment, it is also possible to acquire facilities from car manufacturers, like Volkswagen's, under favorable conditions.
