MIAMI---American Ammunition, Inc. (OTCBB: AAMU) responded today to recent AP and other news that ammunitions demand is high nationwide, but supply is short.
According to AP Writer Mike Wilson in an article that appeared Monday, May 21, 2007 on Yahoo! News, "Ammunition shipments to local gun shops and police departments are being delayed for months because the Army has more than tripled its demand for small caliber ammunition."
President and CEO of American Ammunition, Inc. Andres Fernandez said, "Over the past few years, a number of key growth catalysts have occurred across the small caliber ammunitions industry as a whole, particularly developments in the Defense Department and the defense sector overall."
Fernandez continued, "As a small caliber ammunitions manufacturer with a direct to dealer distribution strategy, we have been poised for some time to handle this expected growth industry wide. Toward that end, recent initiatives have ensured that our more specialized, highest margin products are readily available to supply existing and on-going demand."
Also according to the Yahoo! News article, "The Army's demand for small caliber ammunition has soared from 426 million rounds in 2001 to 1.5 billion rounds in 2006."
