Major ammunition manufacturer announces Oklahoma plant
PRYOR, Okla. (KFOR) — One of the largest ammunition manufacturers in the world is planning to build a new facility in northeastern Oklahoma. CBC Global Ammunition intends to build a new facility at MidAmerica Industrial Park in Pryor, which is expected to bring an estimated 350 new jobs to the state, according to the Oklahoma Governor's Office. 'Oklahoma is so excited that CBC USA is going to make its home here,' said Governor Kevin Stitt. 'Because of our business-friendly policies, our support of law enforcement and the Second Amendment, and our unbeatable logistical advantage, it is a no-brainer for companies to choose our state. I'm thrilled to welcome the CBC team here and I can't wait to watch them grow here in Oklahoma.' Food is Medicine Act on Governor Kevin Stitt's desk for approval The state contract shows Oklahoma will be awarding $10 million from the Oklahoma Quick Action Closing Fund to CBC for the project — $5 million when CBC creates 100 new full time positions at the site, and $5 million when at least $200 million is spent toward building the facility. 'We are thrilled to bring our new manufacturing operations to Oklahoma,' said Fabio Mazzaro, President of CBC and board member of CBC Global Ammunition. 'This facility will be a cornerstone for our future growth in the world's most important market for small caliber ammunition. With in-house production of all components, propellant and critical energetic raw materials we envisage to build an industry-leading and fully vertically integrated company. We believe that the region's supportive business environment makes Oklahoma an ideal location for CBC USA.' The Oklahoma Department of Commerce says the facility groundbreaking is expected later this year. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
