IMI Systems will supply a European country with a variety of small-caliber ammunition products for a total of 37 million NIS (approx. $10.5 million). This is the latest in a line of large-scale orders from IMI's Small Caliber Ammunition Division over the past years by the USA and several European countries.
"The award strengthens IMI's position among NATO countries, and again shows IMI's proven experience in supplying armed forces worldwide with hundreds of millions of military grade cartridges that meet the requirements for accuracy and quality," the company says.
IMI's Small Caliber Ammunition Division supplies a wide variety of ammunition to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) – the Division's major customer – as well as to several local security agencies. The company recently began to supply its premium line of small caliber ammunition to commercial distributors throughout the US. In 2016, orders from the US commercial market reached an excess of 230 million NIS (approx. $65.5 million).
The division manufactures a large variety of military grade ammunition in different calibers: 9mm, 5.56mm, 7.62mm, .338" Lapua Magnum, and .50" (12.7mm). All products are manufactured in accordance with customer requirements – both standard ammo as well as special ammo such as Armor Piercing (AP), Subsonic, Tracer & Incendiary rounds.
"Our special capabilities were developed first and foremost to meet the stringent requirements of the IDF," says IMI Corporate VP and Small Caliber Division Managing Director Mr. Israel Shmilovitz. "Our ammo is field-proven, a fact that is respected worldwide."
