New ownership of Merkel Hunting and Sporting Guns
Acting Managing Directors Olaf Sauer and Adrian Ayad will lead the company
The Abu Dhabi based small arms producer Caracal International LLC took full ownership of the Merkel Jagd- and Sportwaffen GmbH, Suhl, Thuringia, and its distribution subsidiaries, including the US-based distributor Merkel USA, Inc. as of June 27, 2007. The acting Managing Directors Olaf Sauer and Adrian Ayad will continue to lead the company at its headquarters in Suhl. The two Managing Directors had led Merkel Jagd - and Sportwaffen GmbH back to growth path after difficult times. Since 2003 the company saw a revenue growth of more than 70 per cent, new jobs were created and investments in new production facilities, product development and marketing positioned the company well in a global market environment. The General Managers plan to further pursue growth targets. The headquarters in Suhl will be maintained and the growth strategy will be continued. Olaf Sauer: "The traditional gunsmith city, Suhl, offers good conditions to further support the company's short and mid term goals in the German and international hunting and sports gun markets".
