Beginning in the 1830s, Haendler & Natermann milled tin foil. This lined the inside of the wooden tobacco boxes of the time. The lead industry that would eventually bring the production of bullets and pellets was born.
Production of Hunting Pellets
Carl Natermann began producing lead shot in 1847 after purchasing the Hannoversch Munden tower, built in the Middle Ages in Germany. Production of lead shot continued in the tower until the 1980s. The nearby factory-building manufactured other lead articles.
H&N has gone as far as to build their own machinery for exclusive production of top-notch muzzle-loader and reloader bullets and air rifle pellets. Their one-of-a-kind lead pellets exceed the quality standards for present day ammunition. By producing a wide range of air gun pellets in a variety of caliber, H&N attracts more than half of the expert shooters in the Olympics to use their ammunition. They proudly carry on the profitable tradition of the company's founders. H&N constantly improves product quality and continues to create modern products with precision and accuracy, determined to meet the "zero faults" standards the founders set forth.
Corporate and Social Responsibility
H&N Sport is an environmentally conscious company that takes corporate responsibility for the effects of their products on the Earth. They strive to reduce their impact on the environment. They began researching methods of developing lead-free products years before others in the industry.
Businesses form partnerships based on understanding and trust. A company must maintain a high level of excellence and commitment to keep long-term partnerships in any industry. Some of H&N's partners include Beeman, Diana, Walther and Weihrauch. These partnerships allow the companies to improve their product lines and perfect the match up of pellets to air rifle.
Committed to customer service and providing the best products, H&N Sport achieves a great deal of success. The customers make the company, and H&N's success proves they exceed customer expectations by providing high quality ammunition like hunting pellets and air rifle pellets.
