The announcement was made during the U.S. Department of Commerce’s SelectUSA Investment Summit, where Governor Stitt led Oklahoma’s delegation to promote the state’s pro-growth, pro-business, and pro-America economic environment.

“Oklahoma is so excited that CBC USA is going to make its home here,” said Governor Stitt. “Because of our business-friendly policies, our support of law enforcement and the Second Amendment, and our unbeatable logistical advantage, it is a no-brainer for companies to choose our state. I’m thrilled to welcome the CBC team here and I can’t wait to watch them grow here in Oklahoma.”

CBC is one of the largest ammunition producers in the world, supplying the U.S. military, allied forces, law enforcement, and the American sports and hunting market. The move decision is a major win for Oklahoma— and another signal that Oklahoma is wide open for business.

“We are thrilled to bring our new manufacturing operations to Oklahoma,” said Fabio Mazzaro, President of CBC and board member of CBC Global Ammunition. “This facility will be a cornerstone for our future growth in the world’s most important market for small caliber ammunition. With in-house production of all components, propellant and critical energetic raw materials we envisage to build an industry-leading and fully vertically integrated company. We believe that the region’s supportive business environment makes Oklahoma an ideal location for CBC USA.”

The Oklahoma-based plant will be capable of producing centerfire cartridges from 9mm up to 12.7mm, helping strengthen our national security while creating great-paying jobs for hardworking Oklahomans.

“This is a perfect example of what can happen when we work together to benefit Oklahoma,” said John Budd, Oklahoma Department of Commerce CEO. “Gov. Stitt, the Legislature, the Commerce team and all our partners have put in the work to create the ideal business environment for ammunition manufacturers like CBC to thrive. This win is huge for Oklahoma’s rapidly growing Aerospace and Defense industry, and I’m thankful for the work the MidAmerica team did to make this win possible.”

CBC’s new facility will be built on more than 550 acres of historic land originally used for munitions production during World War II. A groundbreaking ceremony is expected in late 2025.

“MidAmerica Industrial Park has a long and storied history of supporting our nation’s defense, dating back to its origins as a munitions facility during World War II. Today, with CBC Global Ammunition’s investment, we are witnessing the next chapter in that legacy—one that positions MidAmerica as a key player in the future of ammunition manufacturing. This project not only reinforces our commitment to economic growth and job creation in Oklahoma but also underscores the strategic advantages MidAmerica offers to global manufacturers seeking to expand in the Nation’s heartland,” said MidAmerica Industrial Park CEO David Stewart. “We are proud to welcome CBC Global Ammunition and look forward to supporting their success in Oklahoma.” 

The project was made possible in part by the Governor’s Quick Action Closing Fund, a performance-based incentive tool that has helped generate more than 2,400 new jobs and a $400 million GDP impact over the past three years. It’s one more way Governor Stitt is making the state a magnet for job creators who share Oklahoma's values and are ready to build in America's heartland.
