D&M Ammunition Manufacturing Solutions is a global leader in turnkey solutions for ammunition manufacturing, D&M AMS provides comprehensive services, including equipment design and manufacturing, engineering, and consulting.

In a significant boost to Ukraine’s defense capabilities, D&M Ammunition Manufacturing Solutions completed the construction of a new small arms ammunition factory in the country, at an undisclosed location. This development comes amidst the ongoing conflict and highlights the efforts to bolster Ukraine’s domestic ammunition production. The plant’s focus is the manufacture of rifle cartridges, particularly the 5.56mm and 7.62mm calibers widely used by Ukrainian forces. There is also potential for future expansion to include other small-caliber rounds.

This new factory is a crucial step in strengthening Ukraine’s defense industry and reducing its reliance on external suppliers. By establishing domestic production capabilities, Ukraine can ensure a more stable and secure supply of ammunition for its armed forces.

Equally impressive is the company’s management team:

• Dan Powers, Owner, President, and CEO of D&M.  Dan has been a pioneer for all his 25 years in the ammunition industry.  Dan started as an early innovator in frangible ammunition as the owner of Precision Ammunition before selling the company to RUAG, the then Swiss Government owned defense conglomerate.  Dan stayed on as the President of RUAG USA, managing US operations and consulting on modernization at other RUAG owned ammunition companies in Europe.  After leaving RUAG, Dan developed the business plan for SIG SAUER’s ammunition division and built the division from scratch, starting in Kentucky before moving the factory to Little Rock, AR.  The division was based on the coveted SIG V-Crown, which is Dan’s patent and legacy.

• BJ Rogers, Owner and Vice President of Operations for D&M. BJ spent his 15 years in the ammunition industry at Remington where he was a ballistics engineer before becoming Remington’s Centerfire Engineering Manager and later at SIG SAUER as the ammunition division Plant Manager and as Director of Operations.

• James Jones, Owner and Vice President of Business Development for D&M. James is a 20-year defense industry executive. Much of his career was spent with Goldbelt Wolf, LLC, a defense contracting company that represented US defense companies and ammunition manufacturers in international contracts. James has represented nearly every major US defense company and has worked in over 50 countries.

For the foreseeable future, you won’t find ammunition on your retailer’s shelves branded D&M, but if you’d like to have an ammunition plant of your own D&M Ammunition Manufacturing Solutions is the organization to turn to for a turnkey solution including personnel training
