Primetake
Since it’s conception in 1991, Primetake continues to work with clients, across the world, to develop and manufacturer new and adapted munition and pyrotechnic solutions for a broad range of industry requirements. When it comes to specialist munition and pyrotechnic requirements, Primetake continues to stand out against it’s larger corporate competitors, with its ability to handle more complex project briefs. .
Where it all started…
Established in 1991, Primetake initially specialised in aviation safety and operated as a wildlife management firm, designing and manufacturing bird scaring cartridges of a non-lethal nature for use in private and commercial airports. Clients draw on Primetake’s specialist in-house capabilities to guarantee access to highly qualified design and production experts: many of whom have grown with Primetake over the decades, remaining committed to the varied and exciting nature of the projects Primetake handles.
Rapid Growth
Building on from the ground breaking work of our in-house research and development team, Primetake expanded into the field of munitions, developing an innovative range of tactical 12 gauge rounds for use in defence, security, military, and anti-terror sectors. A subsequent relocation to a new purpose-built facility meant that many more products could be meticulously developed and added to the portfolio. Primetake is now a leading supplier of ceremonial saluting cartridges, pyrotechnics/energetics, EOD cartridges, sniper ammunition, smoke and distraction devices, signal technologies, and counter-terror ammunition.
Bespoke Munitions
Known for Precision
We can design, develop, and produce munitions to meet the needs of specific user groups. Whilst we do produce some traditional ammunition, our advanced capabilities see us regularly producing ammunition for bespoke applications, such as tactical breaching, counter-terror, armour piecing, UAV intervention, and public order. The above is just a flavour of our munition capabilities, with the team able to meet a broad range of varied requirements.
Bespoke Pyrotechnics
Smokes, Bangs, & Flashes
Our extensive Pyrotechnics portfolio extends across everything from explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) through to bird scaring cartridges. We design, develop, and produce pyrotechnic solutions for many varied industry requirements, from law enforcement to the oil & gas industry. Due to the wide ranging industry experience of our pyrotechnicians we have the capacity and capability to handle a broad range of pyrotechnic briefs.
