Thank you for visiting our website.

Contrary to the perceptions of many, Armscor no longer manufactures armaments. This function ceased on 1 April 1992, when Denel (Pty) Ltd was created to take over Armscor’s manufacturing facilities.

Armscor now exists to meet the acquisition, maintenance and disposal needs of the South African Department of Defence, and other clients, in terms of defence matériel and related products and services. Armscor also supports the local defence-related industry. We are a centre of technical excellence and are a national asset.

In essence, we provide a gateway to defence solutions.

As you read through the pages on this website, you will see how we fulfill this role. You can read more about Armscor’s history , get an overview of what Armscor stands for and read about the products and services that Armscor provides, our social investment initiatives and a lot more, by selecting the About Armscor option in the navigation menu at the top left of every page.

The shortage of engineers and technically qualified personnel, especially from previously disadvantaged communities, provides Armscor with a challenge, as does the general lack of interest in the defence industry shown by Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) companies. You can read more about our BEE programme by selecting the Black Economic Empowerment option in the navigation menu at the top left of every page.

I hope you will find the information on our website to be both informative and enlightening. Should there be any additional information that you feel we should include on our website, or if you have any suggestions or queries, we would appreciate it if you could send an e-mail message to info@armscor.co.za.
