What you'll learn
- In mid-May 2017 Oman Ammunition Production Company, created by decision of the Sultan in 2011, delivered its first cartridges from a plant built to make small- and medium-calibre ammunition.
- The plant had been equipped by Manurhin, a small company based in Mulhouse, under a contract won at the end of 2013 that also provided for the training of local engineers from the design of the project to its completion.
- The French embassy’s economic service valued the contract at €70 million, the largest in the company’s history, and put the plant’s capacity at 94 million cartridges a year.
