December 17, 2021 - Fiocchi, a global leader in defensive, target, and hunting ammunition, is pleased to announce the completion of the company’s ISO certification for its North American headquarters in Ozark, Missouri.

In December, Fiocchi concluded its two-year, company-wide initiative to achieve ISO 9001:2015 certification. This certification is the global standard for authenticating a company’s quality management system, covering customer focus, upper-level management practices, and continual improvement processes to ensure quality products that meet industry standards and delivers optimal customer service. Third-party evaluation and accreditation verified that Fiocchi meets all requirements of this ISO standard.

“Since 2020, the entire Fiocchi of America team has been working towards ISO certification,” said Jared Smith, General Manager, Americas. “The journey involved development of documentation and the learning of a new process by every employee. To pass the certification, FOA had to undergo a Stage 1 and a Stage 2 audit by an outside third party. FOA passed with flying colors with zero nonconformances. This achievement would have been impossible without the teamwork and effort of every employee.”

Fiocchi of America is based in Ozark, Missouri, manufacturing quality ammunition for world-class competitive shooters, discerning hunters, and defense professionals. The company recently established a new, independent manufacturing operation in Little Rock, Arkansas. This new state-of-the-art facility significantly expands Fiocchi’s manufacturing capability and supports the company’s recent acquisition of famed shotshell manufacturer Baschieri & Pellagri.

“These are exciting times for Fiocchi as we continue to expand our stateside manufacturing capabilities,” said Fiocchi of America President and CEO Anthony Acitelli. “Our new ISO certification is a welcome validation of our commitment to manufacturing the best products possible for our consumers and to providing the best possible service for our industry customers.”
