EDGE’s 40mm ammunition line reaches full-rate production with capacity for 1.5 million rounds a year
The UAE's EDGE Group announced that its LAHAB business has reached full-rate production on an automated 40 mm ammunition line with capacity for up to 1.5 million rounds annually. The three-module installation covers successive manufacturing and assembly stages, from cartridge-case preparation through completed belted ammunition for automatic grenade launchers. The line entered operation in late 2025 before progressing to the stated production status in October 2026. The announcement describes maximum industrial capacity rather than confirmed annual deliveries or a new contract for 1.5 million rounds, and the customer allocation has not been disclosed.
