Fabbrica d'Armi Pietro Beretta S.p.A.
 PROFILE
Fabbrica d'Armi Pietro Beretta, the world's oldest gunsmith, has seen nearly 475 years of war and peace. Founded in 1526, the Italian Beretta family has made arms for 13 generations. Products include rifles, shotguns, pistols, and knives. The firm makes guns for the militaries of Italy, the US, and France, and also for police. Sporting arms, however, are sold worldwide and make up about 75% of production. Its shotguns dominate competitive shooting, winning more Olympic medals than any other. Beretta also sells apparel online and in three Beretta Gallery clothing stores in New York City, Dallas, and Buenos Aires. The company's US affiliate has purchased Uberti Aldo & Co., maker of Western and other replica guns.
