History

Founded by two Italian immigrants, Costabile and Gianicola Matarazzo, in 1926 to manufacture their own hunting and shooting ammunitions, CBC was created in the city of São Paulo, Brazil and was named FNCM – Fábrica Nacional de Cartuchos e Munições (National Ammunition and Cartridge Factory). In 1936 the company was bought by Remington Arms and Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) when it was renamed CBC – Companhia Brasileira de Cartuchos (Brazilian Cartridge Company). Since 1979 the company has been privately owned.
