Beretta Holding

[5][6] The eponymous company is managed by fifteenth-generation descendants of Maestro Bartolomeo Beretta, progenitor of a firearms manufacturing dynasty.

Beretta also holds two other Italian companies, Benelli Armi in Urbino and Meccanica Del Sarca in Pietramurata, Trentino.

[15] In January 2014 Beretta announced the construction of a design and production facility in Gallatin, Tennessee to expand its US operations.

Beretta stated that the decision was in response to further restrictions on firearms manufacturing being considered by the Maryland Legislature.

[19] The new US$45 million facility, on a 100 acres (40 hectares) site in the Nashville area, was scheduled to be completed in early 2015 and ultimately employ 300 workers.

[24][25] On 15 April, the company celebrated its factory opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony officiated by Tennessee Gov.

[26][27][28][29] The main office of Beretta USA remains in Accokeek,[14] as well as unspecified gunsmithing and repair operations.
