About PMC Ammunition & Poongsan Corporation
After 40 years of supplying high quality, dependable ammunition to the U.S. civilian market, PMC has joined forces with Poongsan Corporation of Korea to expand its markets in the Global ammunition arena. The intention is "Be the Best in the World."
Poongsan, who is known today to be one of the top producers of quality military ammunition, has supplied PMC products since its origin. Now with the combined capacity of its Angang and Dongrae plants, the supply of hard to get PMC products should be more readily available.
PMC will go into 2007 with its most popular items in pistol and revolver ammunition concentrating on its core market of target, plinking, home defense and law enforcement. The selection of rifle specifications will be limited this year due to the decision to convert the production of its civilian rifle facility to military contracts. Future plans however include resurrecting, upgrading and expanding the production of these popular items.
Drawing on its decades of experience working with copper and copper alloy production technology in Korea and Cedar Rapids, Iowa (PMX Industries, Inc.), Poongsan operates large, exclusive ammunition production lines in their Angang and Dongrae plants. In these facilities, the Company develops and supplies all types of ammunition used in the military, from 5.56mm ammunition to 8-inch projectiles for howitzers. Poongsan's munitions are highly competitive in terms of product quality, price and delivery thanks to the Company's fully integrated production system which encompasses all production steps, from raw materials and parts to finished goods.
Apart from its military munitions, the commercial ammunition Poongsan produces for hunting and competition shooting, under the brand name "PMC" (precision-made cartridges), is gaining a solid reputation for excellent quality in the global market. To meet the growing demand for sporting ammunition, the Company has developed and exported over 100 various types of sporting ammunition, including Starfire pistol and revolver cartridges.
Poongsan's commercial ammunition plant has an additional advantage of having an integrated production system that strictly manages the process from raw-material selection to the loading of each cartridge. Poongsan remains focused on the central objective of offering high-quality products at a reasonable price.
