Norma’s early business was dominated by the production of military ammunition and ammunition for rifles, but the range of hunting equipment gradually became more and more interesting. Norma started to make contacts on the international market at this time. This, together with the company’s interest in the military, resulted in modern ways of thinking and led to new products with outstanding precision. In 2002 RUAG Ammotec became the new owner of Norma ammunition which then led to new line extensions in the United States and U.S. product distribution. Norma’s cartridges Alaska, Vulkan and, later on, Oryx, are now familiar to hunters all over the world.”
