Royal Ordnance

Royal Ordnance was a British company specializing in manufacturing firearms, ammunition, and military equipment. Established in the early 20th century, it supplied the UK’s armed forces with weapons and munitions. In 1989, it was privatized and became part of the Royal Ordnance plc, which continued producing defense equipment. In 2006, it was acquired by BAE Systems, a major defense contractor. Today, the Royal Ordnance brand is associated with high-quality military weapon system manufacturing and development, contributing to national and allied defense capabilities.
