Charles Horn purchased Federal Cartridge and Machine Company on April 27, 1922, which has manufactured ammunition on the same premises for 100 years.

Federal Ammunition currently employs 1,500 workers in Anoka, Minnesota, and has employed tens of thousands of Minnesotans over the past century.

The firearms and ammunition industry contributed nearly $3 billion to Minnesota's economy in 2021 and supported nearly 12,000 jobs statewide.

Federal Ammunition operated the Twin Cities Ordnance Plant since August 1941, producing billions of ammunition rounds for World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War.

The Senate celebrates Federal Ammunition's 100th Anniversary Day on April 27, 2022, and directs the Secretary of the Senate to transmit an enrolled copy of this resolution to the company.
