“We’ve made significant investments into our revolutionary technologies, such as our commercially available STREAK(TM) Visual Ammunition, which utilizes our one-way luminescent technology patent, or as it is known in the defense market, O.W.L. Technology(TM). Additionally, following the acquisition of SW Kenetics’ armor piercing technology, we’ve launched our latest product tailored of to the defense industry, branded as TAC-P(TM) or Tactical Precision,” stated Fred Wagenhals, CEO of AMMO, Inc. “The acquisition of Jagemann’s ammunition casings manufacturing facility and expertise reflects the natural evolution of our business as a fully integrated manufacturer. Jagemann provides AMMO, Inc. with the necessary alignment of our supply chain to ensure we can more effectively compete in the future as we embark on our growth strategies in both our Commercial and Global Tactical Defense divisions.
