The company has invested over $225 million in facilities and equipment in Arkansas since 2017, creating more than 675 jobs and contributing $300 million annually to the state’s economy. Leveraging automation and advanced manufacturing techniques, SIG SAUER operates one of the world’s most modern ammunition production campuses.
“This incredible accomplishment proves what we already know: Arkansas is an arsenal for democracy,” said Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders. “Congratulations, SIG SAUER – I’m proud that you chose Arkansas to plant your roots and continue to deliver on your commitment to our workforce, community, and Arkansans’ right to keep and bear arms.”
The production milestone was achieved at SIG SAUER’s newly added 210,000 square foot facility, designed to enable high-volume, precision manufacturing of 6.8mm ammunition. The facility, part of a 100+ acre campus comprising six buildings, is strategically equipped to double its output in the coming years.
“Achieving 100 million rounds of 6.8mm ammunition capacity is a proud moment for SIG SAUER and our all-American workforce in Arkansas,” stated Sean McGee, Vice President, Ammunition Operations. “Our 6.8mm ammunition, paired with the M7 and M250 rifles, delivers unmatched performance to meet the demands of today’s battlefield.”
While focusing on 6.8mm ammunition, the company maintains production of legacy calibres including 5.56mm and 7.62mm, as well as a full line of pistol ammunition. This sustained output ensures a stable supply for both current and future military requirements.
SIG SAUER’s continued investment and innovation underscore its commitment to advancing small-arms technology and supporting national defence. The company’s developments in Arkansas are positioned to meet the evolving needs of the U.S. military and further solidify America’s ammunition supply chain.
