​3 out of 4 Olympic Biathlon Medal Winners Used Lapua Ammunition From Nammo

95 years ago, a newly independent Finland established an ammunition factory in a town called Lapua. In 1998 the Lapua brand became part of the Nammo Group, and the name Lapua is known by hunters and sports shooters across the world as the best precision shooting ammunition available. The latest evidence of this came during the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, where 3 out of 4 biathlon medals were won using Lapua ammunition, including 8 out of 11 gold medals.

- We are really humbled and inspired by the trust that these amazing athletes place in our products. It motivates us to maintain our passion for precision, and keep making our products even better, says Raimo Helasmäki, Executive Vice President for Nammo’s Commercial Ammunition Business Unit.

Lapua is one of four commercial ammunition brands offered by Nammo. The other three include SK, Berger and Vihtavuori, produced in Germany, the United States and Finland.
