Israeli Defense Firm Arit Secures $16.3 Million North American Artillery Order

Arit Industries announced on Tuesday that its subsidiary, Reshef, has received a significant order for artillery fuzes from a major North American defense company. The deal is valued at approximately $16.3 million (around NIS 50 million).

This new order brings Arit's total order backlog to approximately NIS 540 million. The fuzes are scheduled for delivery in the second quarter of 2027, pending export license approval from Israel's Ministry of Defense.

The company did not disclose the identity of the customer or the specific number of fuzes to be supplied. This order follows a September announcement where Arit reported that the North American client had been notified of winning a tender, with the current order representing the actualization of that win. The new order accounts for about 9% of Arit's updated backlog.

Arit's backlog of NIS 540 million does not include a conditional order worth approximately $45 million from India's BEL company, which could further increase the company's future activity if it becomes a binding order.

Arit Industries specializes in the development and production of electronic fuzes through its subsidiary, Reshef Technologies. These fuzes are critical components in munitions, responsible for detonating the warhead under predetermined conditions. The company is actively expanding its customer base in international markets, including North America, Europe, and India, alongside its work with Israel's defense establishment.

The CEO of Arit Industries, CEO of Arit Industries, commented on the order, stating, "Receiving the order from the international customer in North America exemplifies the strategic partnership we are building with leading global clients." He added that Reshef aims to be an international player whose products are integrated into key defense projects worldwide, highlighting confidence in Reshef's technology and product quality. The company is also developing fuzes for drones and loitering munitions, seeing this as a growth area due to the increasing use of unmanned systems.
