Small calibre and shot ammunition for recreational shooting
The companies within the Ammo+ division manufacture small calibre ammunition and shotshell ammunition for recreational shooting and leisure activities. These are mainly the products of Fiocchi Munizioni and its US subsidiary Fiocchi of America, and Lyalvale Express.
Fiocchi Munizioni became part of the Czechoslovak Group in 2022. Fiocchi Munizioni also includes the Baschieri & Pellagri and Lyalvale Express brands.
Fiocchi Munizioni is a world leader in the production of small calibre and shot ammunition for hunting and shooting. It was founded in 1876 in Lecco, Italy, by Giulio Fiocchi, whose descendants are still shareholders of the company and serve on its management team. The Bologna-based Baschieri & Pellagri was founded in 1885 by Settimio Baschieri, a passionate hunter, and Guido Pellagri, a chemist whose experiments led to the production of smokeless gunpowder.
Fiocchi Munizioni manufactures all components of small calibre ammunition and shot ammunition at its headquarters in Lecco. Products primarily for the North American market are manufactured by Fiocchi of America in Ozark and Little Rock. In addition, the Bologna-based Baschieri & Pellagri factory concentrates on a wide range of hunting shot ammunition.
