Beretta Defense Technologies took part in Eurosatory, the international exhibition dedicated to land and area defense. The event is taking place in Paris and it was also an opportunity to take stock of the financial situation of the Gardone Val Trompia group. As pointed out by Jarno Antonelli, number one in communication, turnover dropped slightly during the 2017, but there is a very specific explanation.
THE1,6% less recorded last year by Beretta Holding is the result of a contingent situation in the military market, often struggling with many fluctuations. The turnover itself, however, owes a lot to hunting and sport shooting rifles, weapons that represent between 80 and 85% of the total. The decline reported in recent months refers to the remaining 15%, so the concern has been cleared away.
The United States is still the main market of the Lombard group: the Maryland plant was relocated to another state, Tennessee, in order to continue the production of pocket weapons. Also in this case, therefore, the situation arouses a certain tranquility as regards the more immediate future. Finally, also in Paris, Beretta presented the latest models for the armed forces.
