Armi Perazzi

What Armi Perazzi does

Armi Perazzi S.p.A. is a privately-held Italian manufacturer of luxury custom shotguns founded in 1957 by Daniele Perazzi in Botticino, Brescia. The company produces approximately seven handcrafted shotguns per day in a 9,000-square-meter facility, manufacturing all components in-house — barrels, stocks, forends, and receivers — using CNC precision machining combined with manual finishing by master gunsmiths. Its product portfolio is organized around two lines: competition shotguns (the High Tech series, MX/TM series, and the new MR57 platform) designed for Olympic trap, double trap, skeet, and sporting clays; and hunting shotguns (Extra Super, Extra Oro, Extra, SCO, SC2, SC3, DC12) available in calibers 12, 20, 28, and 410. Customers configure firearms through dealers or the High Tech online configurator, with final assembly and stock-fitting performed by hand.

Armi Perazzi monetizes primarily through one-time sales of high-ASP custom shotguns (pricing not publicly disclosed), supplemented by spare parts, branded clothing and accessories via e-commerce, and engraving customization services. Distribution runs through a wholly-owned US subsidiary (Perazzi USA Inc. in Azusa, California), a factory showroom in Botticino, and an authorized dealer network spanning Italy, Europe, the Americas, Oceania, Africa, and Asia. The company reinforces its competitive-shooting positioning through the annual Gran Mondiale Perazzi competition (€180,000 prize pool in 2026) and mobile Service Buses deployed to major international competitions. Perazzi shooters have won 62 Olympic medals since 1964, anchoring the brand's prestige in the clay shooting market. The company remains family-owned, with second-generation family members (Mauro and Roberta Perazzi) involved in operations and product development.

Revenue model

1. Custom competition and hunting shotguns: Armi Perazzi's primary revenue stream comes from the manufacture and sale of high-end custom shotguns for competition (clay shooting, Olympic trap, skeet) and hunting. Each shotgun is built to order with custom specifications including caliber, barrel length, choke options, stock dimensions, and engraving designs. Production of approximately 7 shotguns per day demonstrates the artisanal, made-to-order nature of the business.
2. Spare parts and accessories: The company sells spare parts for their shotguns including trigger groups, barrels, and other components through their website and dealer network. This provides ongoing revenue from the installed base of Perazzi shotgun owners.
3. Branded merchandise and accessories: Online shop selling branded clothing, shooting vests, jackets, gun cases, leather goods, and other accessories. Categories include shooting sportswear, leisure clothing, gun cases, and various accessories.
4. Engraving and customization services: Perazzi offers extensive engraving options on their shotguns with multiple collections (Extra Super, Extra Oro, Extra, SCO Gold Cartelle, SCO Cartelle, SCO Gold, SCO, SC3 Cartelle, SC3) representing different levels of artistic decoration and gold inlay.
