The Kinetic Group (TKG), the U.S. Ammunition company, has officially added Fiocchi of America to its lineup of ammunition brands. Fiocchi — exclusive rights to Baschieri & Pellagri (B&P) in the U.S. — will join CCI, Federal, Hevi-Shot, Remington, and Speer as part of TKG and consolidate its operation outside of Springfield, MO.
The company will also move its Hevi-Shot operation to Ozark, MO from its current location in Sweet Home, OR, beginning this summer.
“We’re excited to have Fiocchi of America officially join our group of world-leading ammunition brands. The Ozark, MO facility, where Fiocchi shotshells are currently loaded, will become a center of excellence for shotshell products,” said to Jason Vanderbrink, chairman and CEO of TKG. “Ozark is just outside of Springfield, MO, a fantastic location for ammunition manufacturing, the outdoors, conservation, and support of the Second Amendment. Hevi-Shot will have a great new home here and will continue its 25-year legacy of loading the best steel, tungsten, and bismuth shot for waterfowl and upland hunters.”
The Kinectic Group’s strategy aims to attract more materials and manufacturing to the United States with a global reach.
Hevi-Shot will begin moving immediately, and the company expects to have the operation fully migrated to Ozark by the end of 2025.
“The community of Sweet Home, OR is where Hevi-Shot was born in 2000. We want to thank them for being an excellent location for one of our best brands,” said Vanderbrink. “Hevi-Shot products will be made to the same exacting specifications as hunters have come to know and trust. There will be no difference in look, feel and quality.”
The Kinetic Group was purchased by CSG at the end of 2024, which joined them with the nearly 150-year-old Fiocchi Ammunition brand as part of CSG’s Ammo+ Division.
