First Breach has also received two additional pieces of ammunition inspection equipment and entered into a separate agreement with a key raw material supplier to support reliable material availability as production scales.
These developments build on the Company's previously announced investment in loading and inspection equipment at its Hagerstown, Maryland facility and support its plans to scale ammunition production toward capacity of up to 20 million rounds per month as it expands on its current seven-day production schedule and transitions toward 24-hour operations.
The primer agreement supplements First Breach's existing vendor relationships, providing an additional source for one of the two finished ammunition components the Company purchases externally. Primers and propellant powder are the only finished ammunition components First Breach sources from outside suppliers; the Company manufactures its other components in-house, including brass cups, casings, projectiles, lead cores and lead wire.
The two additional inspection units supplement equipment acquired earlier this year and are intended to expand inspection throughput at the Company's ISO 9001:2015-certified Hagerstown facility. Together with rigorous quality controls throughout production, the added inspection capability is designed to support higher ammunition volumes while maintaining precision and consistency.
The raw material agreement strengthens access to the materials First Breach smelts and processes in-house, helping align sourcing with its planned production ramp. More favorable supply terms support the reliability and availability of these materials, providing a strategic advantage as manufacturing scales.
