Manufacture and marketing of eco-designed ammunition

The "Manufacture and marketing of eco-designed ammunition" project of SAS Shoot Hunting Outdoor aims to strengthen its position in the market for the manufacture of sports shooting and hunting ammunition by moving towards biodegradable and bio-assimilable ammunition. The company plans to continue its research, expand its real estate and acquire industrial equipment to increase its production capacity and manufacture 600 million biodegradable fillers over the next 5 years, generating a turnover of 48 ME. Since 2019, the company has guided its strategy and innovated with the replacement of plastic fillers with biodegradable fillers made of cardboard, wood fiber and cork, the use of a special alloy for projectiles instead of lead, and the development of a wood fiber and cardboard compensator. The beneficiary is a forerunner in the production of environmentally friendly ammunition based on the sustainability of materials and the energy transition, thus strengthening its competitiveness and reputation on the international market. The company also expects new legislation on single-use plastics that will increase demand.
