Umarex is the world’s largest manufacturer of firearm replicas that do not require a licence, and Europe’s largest importer of air guns. Founded in 1972, this medium-sized company is now run by the second generation of its two founding families and currently employs around 1,000 people worldwide. The key to Umarex’s success has been acquiring licences to produce replicas of well-known firearms that can be sold without restrictions. Umarex currently holds licences for the brands Beretta, Browning, Colt, GLOCK, Heckler & Koch, Ruger, Smith & Wesson, IWI and Walther.
