A progressive growth
Just under 10%: this is the percentage (to be precise 9,95%) relating to the shareholding acquired by Beretta with regards to Sturm Ruger, an American arms manufacturer listed on Wall Street. The acquisition of a stake in the US company demonstrates the Gardone Val Trompia-based group's desire to further grow in this country. Beretta's acquisition of a stake in Sturm Ruger dates back to a few months ago.
New collaborations in sight
Last September, the Brescia-based company acquired a stake in the American firm, gradually increasing its share to the current, aforementioned 9,95%. The focus is on developing new industrial and, above all, strategic partnerships in the sector.
The Stars and Stripes Mechanism
Sturm Ruger, however, does not welcome this takeover and has demanded no further capital increases. Beretta would not have been willing, which is why a specific anti-takeover mechanism has been introduced that would be activated if the 10 percentage point increase were exceeded.
