The protected vehicle BOXER 8x8 was developed in a joint cooperation program between Germany and the Netherlands by the international consortium ARTEC GmbH in Munich. ARTEC is a joint venture of KNDS Deutschland GmbH & Co. KG, Rheinmetall Landsysteme GmbH, and Rheinmetall Defence Nederland B.V. ARTEC is the prime contractor for the BOXER program, responsible for coordinating series production and export of the BOXER.
