In 2021, this iconic brand of ammunition for sports shooting and hunting celebrates its 125 years of existence, being one of the munition brands with the longest historic background.
Madrid (Spain), 7th January 2021. RIO Cartridges reaches 125 years of age from the day in 1896 it was established in the north of Spain. A very symbolic anniversary that showcases its lengthy trajectory in the sports and hunting munitions marketplace.
RIO Cartridges came into being in 1896 and ever since its conception has been linked to explosives and gunpowder, under the auspices of the Spanish Gunpowder & Dynamite Company (Sociedad Española de Pólvora y Dinamita), founded in 1872 by Alfred Nobel. Currently, RIO Cartridges is one of the household names in the manufacture and distribution of cartridges worldwide, with a cutting-edge production process and state-of-the-art technology that has led to its winning the confidence of hunters and shooters from more than 100 countries.
Throughout these 125 years, RIO Cartridges has developed one of the most extensive ranges of shotgun cartridges for clay shooting and hunting. The hunters and shooters who place their trust in this brand highlight the reliability and regularity of the cartridges; being the ammunition chosen by many of the shooters who compete at the highest levels and a reference at international hunting and shooting competitions, as well as in very many Olympiads.
With this great event in mind, RIO Cartridges has launched a new logo to commemorate its 125 years, with which to accentuate its important legacy and tradition, in addition to its quality.
“This anniversary represents a matter of pride for all who form part of RIO Cartridges and it’s an honour for us to be able to give continuity to the legacy of all those persons who have worked for our company. This milestone has been reached thanks to the millions of hunters and shooters who were – and continue to be – loyal to our brand and to their matchless task as RIO Cartridges ambassadors.
We are banking firmly on continuing at the forefront of this sport that we love so much, for many, many years. To commemorate this anniversary, we have planned a full calendar of activities which we will be releasing during the year”, explains Eduardo Hernando, RIO Cartridges Sales & Marketing Manager.
