Location

The BERETTA company

is located in Lombardy, one of the northern province of Italy.
Was it the closeness of Venetia and the Republic of Venice as well that facilitate the development of the arms factory, as demonstrated by the very first orders granted to the company?
BERETTA is still established today on its historical site of Gardone Val Trompia, and stretches over 75.000 square meters.

L'entreprise aujourd'hui

Thirteen generations after its creation, his direct descendant, Ugo Gussalli Beretta, assisted by his sons Pietro and Franco, today manages the enterprise.

Five hundred years of experience have allowed the Fabbrica d'Armi Pietro Beretta S.p.A. to advance with the times.

The company houses 1,000 machine tools, most of which are NCN milling machines with tool magazines and interlocking robots.

The Beretta company's production covers almost the entire range of existing portable firearms ; engraved over-end-under and side-by-side shotguns for hunting, sporting and competition, autoloaders and pump action guns, express double rifles, semi-automatic pistols (from cal. 22 short up to cal. 45 Auto), sub machine guns, assault rifles and light machine guns.

Since the beginning of the nineties, Beretta has been adding to its production of sporting firearms a complete set of accessories and garments for hunting, clay shooting and leisure, which have shortly won an enviable reputation for their technical quality and their sober elegance. In 1995, the first Beretta Gallery has been inaugurated in New-York. More recently have followed other galleries in Dallas, Buenos Aires and Paris. The next step will come with the opening of the first italian Beretta Gallery in Milan.
