There is an indiscretion that is causing a lot of talk in these last hours and that concerns the Pietro Beretta Arms Factory. As reported by Brescia Today, the company of Gardone Val Trompia is destined to become a global supplier ofItalian army starting from 2017. The technical equipment, the optical and pointing equipment, but also the weapons and clothing of the military they could therefore have a single brand, according to reports from Franco Gussalli Beretta, president and CEO of the Lombard group. It is necessary to underline that Beretta is already a well-established partner of the Army, now we are thinking of a subsequent and even more important step, the complete supply, of which the Italian Defense is beginning to feel the importance.
The company has been experimenting for about two decades the experience of technical clothing for hunters and sportsmen, while the debut in the field of optics and pointing systems dates back to ten years ago. The president highlighted how Beretta is perfectly capable of providing a soldier with everything he needs, even if before eliminating the conditionals it will be necessary to wait for the tender that will assign the order, at the end of which the official name of the supply will be known. However, Franco Gussalli Beretta's optimism points to a good percentage of success.
Initially, the complete equipment will be made available to the soldiers who are engaged in special operations and, as explained by the CEO, until now the technical uniform of the military has not been characterized by breathability and impermeability. The Beretta brand has covered guns and underwear, at this point the list is destined to grow. For the president we start in an advantageous position, but it will still be tough. Brescia Today then reported Franco Gussalli Berretta's hints to other company fronts.
For example, the newly built plant in the US state of Tennessee is ready to go into operation, a debut scheduled for the first half of April: there will be about 100 employees and for the next 24 months there will be secure supply of M9 pistols to the US military. The Lombard group is ready to face the future with the usual attitude: in February the new samples for the next call of the American army were delivered, while a few weeks later it was the turn of the delivery relating to the ban by the FBI, a sign that the relationship with the leading world economy is very close. The heir of the M9 is undoubtedly there M9A3, just built and to be tested in the test with the competitors Smith & Wesson and Gloch.
