In July, Italian gun maker Beretta bought Norma Precision and other ammunition makers from RUAG International, a company owned by the Swiss government, for an undisclosed price. Norma Precision had already announced that it was moving its headquarters to Georgia, setting up a factory in the Savannah suburb of Garden City.
Last year, Norma Precision said it imported more than 400 containers of ammunition from factories in Europe, while also delivering more than 30 million cartridges of ammunition made in the U.S. De Vries said Norma would also export ammunition from the Georgia plant.
… Beretta officials said they’re trying to expand the sales and brand of Norma in the United States. Pietro Gusalli Beretta, president and CEO of family-owned Beretta Holding, said Norma, which is rooted in Sweden, has been making ammunition in the United States for 12 years and has seen four years of “steady growth.”
With Gov. Brian Kemp easily winning a second term, Georgia has cemented itself as one of the top environments for the firearms industry. The list of gun companies already operating in the state is fairly longand illustrious, but there’s still plenty of room to grow.
Note that there is no talk about factories in California or New England. Wonder why?
Garden City and the area around it are fairly expensive to live in. An average salary of $57k is below market.
ReplyDeletemid to upper level management will be able to find decent digs. that is what counts today. got to wonder what tax breaks they were given across the board. still, better days coming in two years me thinks. too bad the unaffiliated voters did not do their due diligence before casting a vote that split the Congress. I blame females wanting to make government 'fair'.
DeleteNo “Sopranos” in Georgia taking their cut and driving up prices.
DeleteIf at all possible, I will never do any business with any company that supports degeneracy. That means Beretta and all subsidiaries are persona non grata, so to speak. https://cowboystatedaily.com/2022/04/27/gun-lover-jeffree-star-receives-custom-pink-firearm-from-beretta/

DeleteThanks for letting us know just how Woke Baretta and now Norma are.
*Queer - Thier term, not mine.
Hmmmmm, I just bought (undisclosed amount in case my FBI watcher is still reading this) 380 Norma ammo. Haven't shot any of it yet but the price was below market average.
