Fiocchi yesterday

The most important years in the history of Fiocchi shown in this chart are accompanied by a short description of the events that characterised them. From it emerges the profile of a company which, thanks to its passion and commitment, has succeeded in standing out at world level while keeping strong links with the area, in line with its corporate social values.History
The activities of Fiocchi begin in 1876 when founder Giulio Fiocchi starts to develop a business soon to become a reference point in the Italian market (and others) for ammunition of all types and calibres.

Some tactical decisions in the parallel weapons and press-studs segments (the latter due to use of scrap from brass processing) were gradually abandoned in order to favour a consistent strategy entirely focused on Fiocchi’s core business: production of ammunition and direct tending of the technical aspects of its machines, to constantly improve their production cycles, performance and solutions. This in tune with the continually evolving needs of diversified consumers, including hunters, sports people with a passion for target shooting and clay pigeon shooting, public bodies (for defence and security), and industries for some specialist applications.

Fiocchi has produced (and continues to produce) all types of ammunition for handheld firearms: from pinfire shot shells for guns with smoothbore barrels to pinfire metal cartridges for rifled barrels (both in the 1920s) and shot shells and cartridges of all types, both centerfire and rimfire.
