About Beretta USA Firearms
Beretta, a name steeped in history, traces its origins to the early 1500s when its products first graced the manufacturing scene.
During this time, the Republic of Venice, known for its discerning taste, chose Beretta firearms for their unparalleled excellence.
The Beretta name swiftly became synonymous with unyielding quality, exceptional design, superior materials, meticulous craftsmanship, and stellar performance.
This reputation extended far beyond the borders of Italy, establishing a tradition that has persevered unbroken through fifteen generations of Beretta family stewardship.
In the early 1800s, Pietro Antonio Beretta (1791 – 1853), overcoming the challenges posed by persistent wars and foreign dominion, embarked on journeys throughout Italy.
His mission was to showcase the unmatched quality of Beretta products and secure orders. Pietro Antonio's son, Giuseppe (1840 – 1903), carried on the tireless work initiated by his father, creating new opportunities for the company by expanding its presence through international distribution.
In the early 1900s, Pietro (1870 – 1957) assumed company leadership, ushering in modernized manufacturing techniques, introducing numerous patented mechanisms, and streamlining production processes.
His efforts transformed Beretta into the first Italian firearms manufacturer, recognized as one of the most advanced firearms production facilities worldwide.
The legacy of modernization continued with Pietro's sons, Giuseppe (1906 – 1993) and Carlo (1908 – 1984), solidifying the company's multinational character with commercial and production endeavors spanning numerous European countries and the United States.
These endeavors culminated in successful military, law enforcement, and private ventures.
Today, guided by the leadership of Ugo Gussalli Beretta and his sons Pietro and Franco, Beretta strides confidently into the 3rd Millennium, armed with centuries of invaluable experience.
This wealth of experience, complemented by strategic investments in technology, organizational development, and the expansion of product lines, positions Beretta as a dynamic player in the global market of the 21st century.
The foundational principle of "Quality Without Compromise," established by Bartolomeo Beretta almost five centuries ago, remains at the heart of our company's mission.
It is the unwavering cornerstone of Beretta's enduring worldwide success, a value that has stood the test of time and continues to guide our every endeavor.
