1 weapons

Steyr Arms traces its company history to Josef Werndl's 1864 arms factory and the later Austrian arms-manufacturing lineage that produced Mannlicher rifles, the Steyr-Daimler-Puch firearms division, and Steyr Mannlicher.

The modern company uses the Steyr Arms name internationally, with R&D and production remaining at Kleinraming after the 2019 rename from Steyr Mannlicher. Its defense-relevant catalog connection is the Steyr AUG family, a modular bullpup rifle line adopted by Austria and exported to military and law-enforcement users.
