Due to the rise in COVID-19 infections, the Beretta Holding Group companies located in the U.S. (Beretta U.S.A., Benelli U.S.A, Burris, and Steiner eOptics) announced the immediate suspension of employee participation in large-scale indoor gatherings. The company’s decision was made “because of near-term staffing challenges and concerns about the ability to prevent contagion in enclosed crowded spaces.”

Further, the company said it would not be present at the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) SHOT Show in Las Vegas. The Beretta Holding Group companies in the U.S. have committed to exhibit at the 2023 SHOT Show.

The company said it is closely monitoring the evolving COVID-19 infection rates and will reassess its decision later in 2022.
