NIOA is a family-owned global munitions company. Our operations include NIOA Australia, NIOA New Zealand, the Australian Missile Corporation, Barrett Firearms (USA) and Joint Venture company Rheinmetall NIOA Munitions. Since our early beginnings in regional Queensland, Australia in 1973, we have always been driven by loyalty, trust, serving people and exceeding their expectations. That means delivering world-leading products and technologies for the benefit of our customers wherever they are around the globe. NIOA is the largest privately-owned supplier of munitions to the Australian and New Zealand defence, law enforcement and commercial markets. US-based Barrett Firearms, the most recent addition to our group, is the world leader in long-range, large-calibre precision rifle manufacturing, supplying the United States military and more than 75 US Department of State approved countries around the world, as well as law enforcement agencies and sport shooters. We are a major tenant at the Australian government owned, company operated munitions facility at Benalla in Victoria, and a joint venture partner in the Rheinmetall NIOA Munitions artillery shell forging plant at Maryborough in Queensland. The Maryborough factory and the Benalla munitions plant will see NIOA play a key role in delivering munitions for the Australian Defence Force and allied nations. The Australian Missile Corporation is an enterprise partner assisting the Australian Government to establish a sovereign guided weapons manufacturing industry.
