Glock GmbH
 PROFILE
Glock is always gunning for new business. Since its founding in 1963, Glock has supplied more than 2.5 million pistols to armies (starting with its home country) and other government customers, as well as to civilians in more than 100 countries. Named after founder, owner, and president Gaston Glock, the company offers nearly 40 pistol models under the Glock name. It also markets field knives, entrenching tools, and apparel. Glock has operations in Austria, Hong Kong, Uruguay, and the US. The largest seller of firearms to law enforcement agencies, Glock has been under fire (along with other gun manufacturers) for its opposition to safety and gun distribution regulation.
