American manufacturers
race to relieve a pandemic-triggered ammo shortage
Soaring demand for guns and ammunition
comes from a range of demographic group
Nov 27th 2021
LONOKE, ARKANSAS
Just two companies, Vista Outdoor and
Olin Corp, meet the bulk of America’s demand for ammunition, and chiefly
through two long-established brands. Remington, part of Vista, was founded in
1816, and Winchester Ammunition, owned by Olin Corp, started in 1866. Because
of soaring demand for bullets, both firms are enjoying the sort of heady growth
that only new businesses usually enjoy.
Three times a day, queues of pick-up
trucks appear outside Remington’s ammunition plant on the outskirts of Little
Rock, Arkansas, to bear away the fruits of round-the-clock shifts. It is a
sharp reversal from last summer, when Remington went bankrupt for the second
time since 2018. Production had been reduced to a trickle of bullets made from
whatever raw materials could be coaxed from suppliers, who had no certainty of
being paid.
