100 Million 6.8mm Rounds Annual

SIG SAUER, ammunition partner to the U.S. military, achieved the milestone of 100 million 6.8mm round annual capacity at its state-of-the-art facilities in Jacksonville, Arkansas.  SIG SAUER is invested in continual increases to overall capacity, paving the way to double output over the next few years. This achievement solidifies SIG SAUER’s pivotal role in supporting the U.S. Army’s Next Generation Squad Weapon (NGSW) Program.

Since breaking ground in Arkansas in 2017, SIG SAUER invested over $225M in facilities and equipment, bringing over 675 jobs into the state with an overall economic impact of $300M annually. SIG SAUER’s infrastructure ensures a sustainable, high-volume production of 6.8mm ammunition while maintaining output for legacy calibers such as 5.56mm and 7.62mm as well as a complete pistol ammunition line. 

Located in Jacksonville, Arkansas, the SIG SAUER ammunition plant encompasses six extensive facilities on a 100+ acre campus, serving as a hub for innovation and production. Their latest addition is designed to significantly boost production capabilities of new 6.8mm ammunition.
