PRYOR, OK—An ammunition manufacturer plans to spend $300 million to establish a new assembly plant here.
CBC Global Ammunition, a Brazilian company that also owns the Magtech, MEN and Sinterfire brands of small-caliber ammunition, will establish what would be its third U.S. assembly plant. The factory will be capable of producing centerfire cartridges from 9 to 12.7 millimeter for the military, law enforcement, and sports and hunting markets. It is expected to create 350 jobs.
CBC President Fabio Mazzaro said that the Oklahoma project will be a “cornerstone” for the company’s growth in the U.S., which he called “the world’s most important market for small-caliber ammunition.”
Mazzaro added that the company eventually hopes to become a vertically integrated business, with in-house production of all components, propellant and critical raw materials for ammunition.
CBC has a global workforce of more than 4,000 and produces nearly 2 billion rounds of ammunition annually.Looking for quick answers on assembly and manufacturing topics? Try Ask ASM, our new smart AI search tool. Ask ASM
