Federal ammunition of Anoka is 100 years old this year, a hallmark achievement.
Now one of seven ammunition or ammunition-component brands owned by parent company Vista Outdoor of Anoka, Federal's plant operates 24/7 producing ammunition for hunters, law enforcement and governments worldwide.
Founded in 1922 by Charles L. Horn, Federal, which employs about a fourth of Vista's 6,000-strong workforce, has enjoyed an innovative and ultimately successful first century.
