The cataloged Chemring links currently come from the group's 2010-2014 ownership of MECAR and related Chemring munitions catalogs, not from a claim that Chemring remains the current producer of those Belgian 76 mm ammunition natures. Chemring's own heritage page says it acquired MECAR SPRL of Nivelles, Belgium, a medium- and large-calibre ammunition manufacturer, in September 2010 and sold that business in 2014. Those dates are important for interpreting the Chemring label on legacy ammunition records.
Chemring remains a publicly listed group with a head office at Roke Manor in Romsey, Hampshire. Its 2025 annual report described a record order book and split segment activity between Countermeasures & Energetics, which covers expendable countermeasures, energetic materials, propellant-actuated devices, pyrotechnics, missile components, and related systems, and Sensors & Information, which covers security technology services, electronic countermeasures, and biological-threat detection equipment.
