Assensys B.V., is specialised in the processing of energetic materials on industrial basis for defense, para-military as well as civil use (safety and security). Assensys is the successor of several of the former activities of Franerex B.V. in the Netherlands.

After finalising the activities of Eurometaal N.V. Zaandam and the ammunition assembly and integration activities of its subsidiary Franerex B.V. in 2003, Assensys is the only remaining industrial plant for processing larger quantities of explosive, propallents and pyrotechnical material in the Netherlands.

Assensys B.V. is allowed to use process and production know-how from earlier Eurometaal and Franerex activities. Assensys therefore can bow on a long history in proven ammunition production and quality track record.

Most of the former filling and assembly equipment is still available. Experienced personnel, in the preparation and handling of energetic materials are available.

Assensys B.V. can act as offset relation for direct and indirect offset for foreign suppliers of the Netherlands’ Ministery of Defense.
