Barij Munitions

The ammunition manufacturing industry in the UAE was established in 1994, initiating the production of small arms ammunition and later expanded onto production of medium calibre in 2010 and large calibre in 2011. Throughout the years, the defense industry faced several challenges due to the absence of base support and insufficient expertise. In 2007, under the guidance of the Crown Prince HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the defense industry took a different route by establishing Tawazun Holdings to bring all the defense companies under one umbrella.
