Nammo

Nammo is an international aerospace and defense company headquartered in Norway. With 3 100 employees across 27 production sites and a presence in 11 countries, Nammo is today one of the world’s leading providers of specialty ammunition and rocket motors for both military and civilian customers. The Group was founded in 1998 through a government led business combination of the Nordic ammunition and propulsion businesses in Norway, Sweden and Finland, all of whom brought with them proud legacies of innovation, quality and service to their customers. In the years since, these initial locations have been joined by similar businesses from across Europe and North America, making Nammo what it is today – a unique combination of small, yet highly capable, specialist operations that are equally at home on both sides of the Atlantic. Nammo is owned by the Norwegian Government, through the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries, and the Finnish company Patria Oyj. Both hold 50 percent of the shares, with the position of Board Chairman alternating between the two owners on an annual basis. Nammo aims to deliver a truly reliable advantage to customers that accept only the best from themselves and their equipment. Customers are primarily located in Europe and North America, markets which consistently represent more than 90 percent of the Group’s revenue. Aerospace and Defense represents roughly 80 percent of Nammo’s business, with production facilities in Europe and the United States, all marketed under the Nammo brand. Commercial products, primarily commercial ammunition, gunpowder and components, represents roughly 20 percent, with the majority of production in Europe, marketed under brands including Lapua, SK, Vihtavuori, Berger and Hansson Pyrotech.
