What connects generations of hunters and marksmen worldwide? The answer is right here in front of us: RWS. RWS is a renowned ammunition brand with a rich history dating back to 1856. It all began in Nuremberg with a man named Heinrich Uttendoerffer and his humble laboratory producing ignition charges.

RWS stands for “Rheinisch-Westfälische Sprengstoff-Actien-Gesellschaft”. This translates to “Rhinish-Westphalian Explosives Stock Company”. The company was founded in Cologne in 1886. Three decades after its inception, Heinrich Uttendoerffer’s laboratory became part of this burgeoning company, marking the beginning of RWS as we know it. Even after a merger with Dynamit Actien-Gesellschaft (DAG), formerly Alfred Nobel & Co., the RWS brand maintained its independence.

Today, RWS is a globally recognized and trusted name in ammunition, renowned for its unwavering commitment to top-tier quality and precision. The brand’s success is a testament to its legacy of excellence, driven by innovation and a deep understanding of the needs of hunters and marksmen. RWS doesn’t just produce ammunition, they produce confidence.
