RWS

The RWS brand has been connecting hunters and marksmen for generations. But where do their roots lie and what is the secret of their success?

The origin dates back to the year 1855. It was then that Heinrich Uttendoerffer began to produce ignition charges in his laboratory in Nuremberg. Three decades later, his laboratory was taken over by the „Rheinisch Westfälische Sprengstoff-Actien-Gesellschaft“ founded in Troisdorf in 1886, which explains the origin of the short form RWS. Even after the merger with the Fürth-based Dynamit Nobel AG, RWS continued to exist as an independent brand, which to this day has prevailed and established itself worldwide with a wide range of consistently reliable precision products of the highest quality. Those who rely on ammunition from RWS benefit from our many years of experience and the know-how of our employees: all of them specialists and often enthusiastic hunters or successful sport shooters themselves, with an instinct for first-class materials, fresh trends, and hence also for continuous innovation.

That is why multiple generations trust in quality from RWS. Because they know one thing: RWS ammunition satisfies the highest demands and is the guarantee for the perfect shot in every situation.
