SIG SAUER to expand operations in UK

SIG SAUER, Inc. has announced a partnership with Accuracy International Limited (AI) to expand its business operations in support of the British Armed Forces and law enforcement customers in the UK.

Accuracy International is a British firearms manufacturer based in Portsmouth, England, that specializes in sniper rifles and anti-materiel rifles, with products fielded with military units and law enforcement globally.

“As part of our global strategic growth plan, SIG SAUER is solidifying several key partnerships to meet the increased demand for our products in Europe and other NATO countries,” began Ron Cohen, President, SIG SAUER, Inc. “The alliance with Accuracy International affords SIG an expanded presence, greater customer engagement, and new collaboration in the UK to meet the diverse, immediate and future needs of the British military, law enforcement, and other security and defense organizations.”

“The benefits of the partnership with SIG SAUER are clear; our brand reputations are strong, the product lines and customer bases are complementary, and our company cultures are closely aligned,” stated Tom Irwin, AI Director; “SIG will benefit from AI’s extensive UK market expertise and manufacturing and logistical infrastructure to assist in the transition toward a fully independent SIG SAUER UK entity.”
