Finnish ammunition manufacturer Lapua have announced the suspension of some of their ammunition components due to “continued high product demand and the prevailing market conditions”. In the announcement, Lapua pointed to the ongoing “Ukraine situation” putting pressure on the availability of some materials used in ammunition production.
Lapua @ TFB:
- New 6.5 Creedmoor and .223 Remington Hunting Ammunition from Lapua
- New .300 Winchester Magnum Lapua Cartridges
- Lapua 6.5 Creedmoor Large Rifle Primer Case
- NEW 6mm Creedmoor Brass from Lapua
- New Brass from Lapua in 300 and 338 Norma Magnum
The Lapus announcement states:
the availability of some of our products is unfortunately limited and delivery times have become extended. To better serve our civilian and military obligations, some of our components will be temporarily suspended from production. This is due to prioritizing production lines.
Lapua looked to reassure customers by explaining that while “some Lapua products will probably be out of stock in many places in the world for some time to come. This doesn’t mean that we are cancelling any products.” They noted that it is their intention to resume production of the temporarily suspended products as soon as ‘market conditions stabilize.’
Lapua also disposed that they are in the process of establishing new production capacity:
We’re also taking necessary steps at our production sites to improve production capabilities with e.g. new production lines installed during 2023 and 2024.
We work as hard as we can every day on all of our sites to produce high-quality ammo and components for you and aim to serve you at normal levels as soon as possible.
