Seven-Year Renewal Strengthens International Partnership
Speer Ammunition has successfully secured a contract extension with law enforcement agencies across five Nordic nations, reinforcing its position as a trusted supplier in the international market. The renewed agreement will supply agencies in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland, and Finland with ammunition for the next seven years.
Gold Dot 9mm Selected as Standard Issue
Proven Performance Drives Selection
The contract centers around Speer's 124-grain Gold Dot 9mm Luger ammunition, which has established itself as the preferred duty round for these Nordic law enforcement organizations. This selection reflects the ammunition's consistent performance record in demanding operational environments.
