HORNADY MANUFACTURING COMPANY

Hornady Manufacturing Company specializes in the precision manufacturing of small arms ammunition for federal law enforcement, wildlife management, and homeland security operations. Their core capabilities include the production of training, duty, and specialized ammunition cartridges, with deep expertise in lead-free and commercial lead training ammunition formulations, caliber-specific ballistic performance, and compliance with federal safety and performance standards. The company demonstrates technical proficiency in cartridge design, propellant optimization, and quality assurance processes tailored to mission-critical applications, including SRT, field training, and law enforcement operational use. Their ability to deliver consistent, high-volume ammunition with tight tolerances for diverse platforms—from 9mm to .30mm—positions them as a trusted supplier for agencies requiring reliable, mission-ready rounds under demanding conditions. Hornady maintains a strong and consistent relationship with the Department of Justice, supplying ammunition for FBI, SRT, and local law enforcement units, often under long-term contract frameworks. They also serve the Department of the Interior and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service with specialized training rounds for wildlife officers and national refuge operations, indicating a niche specialization in non-lethal and low-recoil ammunition for conservation enforcement. Their work with the Department of Homeland Security on next-generation training ammunition programs further underscores their role in supporting federal tactical readiness. The company’s primary industry focus is in NAICS 332992—small arms ammunition manufacturing—where they operate as a commercial manufacturer serving government-specific ballistic requirements. They are not engaged in ordnance or explosive systems but concentrate exclusively on metallic cartridge production for service and training use, distinguishing themselves in the commercial ammunition supply chain for public safety agencies. Hornady Manufacturing Company is a privately held, second-tier entity headquartered in Grand Island, Nebraska, with no federal certifications on record. Their geographic presence is centered in the Midwest, and their market positioning is defined by technical reliability and consistent delivery to federal agencies requiring precision ammunition solutions.
