Igman Ammo

Igman Ammo: In Depth

Igman d.d. Konjic is an ammunition manufacturer in Bosnia and Herzegovina that originated in 1950. Bosnia and Herzegovina, often referred to as simply Bosnia, is between Serbia, Montenegro, and Croatia in southeastern Europe. 

Between World War I and World War II, Bosnia was part of Yugoslavia. After WWII, it became the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. In 1992, Yugoslavia broke up and Bosnia claimed its independence after the Bosnian War.

Josip Broz Tito, the prime minister of Yugoslavia, had aligned Yugoslavia between the policies of Russia and the West after WWII. This enabled him to obtain relief aid from the United States, even though his government had adopted many of the Soviet principles of communism. This was called the “Non-Aligned Movement” and was followed by several other Eastern Bloc countries that did not wish to be part of the USSR. Tito introduced “social self-management”, which allowed the profit-sharing of some government-owned enterprises while also permitting partial ownership by employees. As a result of this policy, Igman is owned 51% by the State and 49% by private owners. It has survived decades of political upheaval, partly due to Tito’s neutrality policies and his willingness to open Yugoslavia to the West while remaining sufficiently socialist as a nation to keep the USSR at bay.    

Today, Igman manufactures ammunition to military standards and exports it to 50 different countries. It employs over 1,300 workers in the Bosnia and Herzegovina economy. Igman military ammunition is made to NATO, MIL, and Russian standards, maintaining its balance between East and West. Its hunting ammunition is made to CIP and SAMMI standards, as well as being ISO-9001 certified.
