About MFS
Based on the heritage and the expertise of the Hungarian ammunition manufacturing dated back to “Magyar Fegyver és Lőszergyár Inc.” from 1881. The succcessor company “Mátravidéki Fémművek Ltd”. was established in Sirok, Hungary, in 1952. The focus was on supplying ammunition to the Hungarian military and law enforcement organizations in the 1950’s. With the help of an additional investment in the factory, the production of new types of ammunition started to enter the sport and hunting market in the late 1950’s with the brand name of “MFS” and exported its products to more than 70 countries.
A major milestone was in 2009 when RUAG Ammotec Group acquired the factory and the brand name. After the acquisition, it was integrated into RUAG’s Swiss and German organization by introducing top-notch technologies and processes in order to supply the premium brands of the group with pistol and revolver ammunition.
