Ruhrmetall

Ruhrmetall AG was created when the whole metal industry of the Ruhr area (except those companies that became part of Saeder-Krupp) united into one single corporation based in Essen, AGS.
Ruhrmetall produces all kinds of machinery and engine parts, nuclear power plants and off-shore drilling platforms and all kinds of weaponry (from pistols to battle tanks).

As competition in the heavy industry sector is fierce Ruhrmetall maintains a high level of security: The corporation has a standing army of about 5,000 men (including combat deckers and magicians) organized in highly mobile and well-trained units.
In addition, Ruhrmetall is a major MET 2000 shareholder (18%).
