Gov. Stitt and the Oklahoma Department of Commerce said that CBC Global Ammunition plans to build a facility at the MidAmerica Industrial Park in Pryor, which would create 350 new jobs. It will be built on over 550 acres at the park, within the land where a munitions factory was during World War II. The groundbreaking is expected to happen in the last quarter of 2025.

“Oklahoma is so excited that CBC USA is going to make its home here,” said Governor Kevin Stitt. “Because of our business-friendly policies, our support of law enforcement and the Second Amendment, and our unbeatable logistical advantage, it is a no-brainer for companies to choose our state. I’m thrilled to welcome the CBC team here, and I can’t wait to watch them grow here in Oklahoma.”

A Major Player in Ammunition Manufacturing

CBC is one of the world's leading producers of military and civilian ammunition and is a key supplier to the U.S. military and allied forces worldwide. Magtech Ammunition Inc. acts as its master distributor in the states for all brands within the group.

“We are thrilled to bring our new manufacturing operations to Oklahoma,” said Fabio Mazzaro, President of CBC and board member of CBC Global Ammunition. “This facility will be a cornerstone for our future growth in the world’s most important market for small caliber ammunition. With in-house production of all components, propellant and critical energetic raw materials, we envisage to build an industry-leading and fully vertically integrated company. We believe that the region’s supportive business environment makes Oklahoma an ideal location for CBC USA.”

Facility Will Be Built on Historic WWII Grounds

“MidAmerica Industrial Park has a long and storied history of supporting our nation’s defense, dating back to its origins as a munitions facility during World War II. Today, with CBC Global Ammunition’s investment, we are witnessing the next chapter in that legacy—one that positions MidAmerica as a key player in the future of ammunition manufacturing. This project not only reinforces our commitment to economic growth and job creation in Oklahoma but also underscores the strategic advantages MidAmerica offers to global manufacturers seeking to expand in the Nation’s heartland,” said MidAmerica Industrial Park CEO David Stewart. “We are proud to welcome CBC Global Ammunition and look forward to supporting their success in Oklahoma.”

According to the release from ODOC, CBC has over 4,000 employees worldwide, producing nearly two billion rounds of ammunition each year.

The facility in Oklahoma would be capable of producing all centerfire cartridges from 9mm up to 12.7mm.

State Incentives Helped Seal the Deal

Oklahoma officials say the Governor’s Quick Action Closing Fund helped secure the investment. The performance-based fund releases money only when agreed-upon benchmarks are met. In the past three years, companies in the fund have added 2,400 jobs and contributed $400 million to the state’s GDP.

“This is a perfect example of what can happen when we work together to benefit Oklahoma,” said John Budd, CEO of the Oklahoma Department of Commerce. “Gov. Stitt, the Legislature, the Commerce team and all our partners have put in the work to create the ideal business environment for ammunition manufacturers like CBC to thrive.”
