Companhia Brasileira de Cartuchos (CBC) is based in Ribeirão Pires, São Paulo, Brazil.
History[]
Founded by two Italian immigrants, Costabile and Gianicola Matarazzo, in 1926 to manufacture their own hunting and shooting ammunitions, CBC was created in the city of São Paulo, Brazil and was named FNCM – Fábrica Nacional de Cartuchos e Munições (National Ammunition and Cartridge Factory). In 1936 the company was bought by Remington Arms and Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) when it was renamed CBC – Companhia Brasileira de Cartuchos (Brazilian Cartridge Company). In 1979 the company was nationalized following a deal with the previous owners, since then the ownership is divided between the Ministry of Defense (30%) and the brazilian investment group Arbi (70%).
Production sites[]
CBC has three production units in Brazil, one in the state of São Paulo and two in Rio Grande do Sul.
