The German government wants to participate in the Leopard tank manufacturer KNDS, while the current owners are pushing for an IPO. However, the government is trying to slow down the process to clarify the details.

The coalition partners in Berlin do not agree on the specifics of the participation. This disagreement could significantly affect the timeline for the IPO.

As reported by Elt, the delay could also impact the company’s strategic planning, as the market for defense companies is becoming increasingly competitive.
