Brand | OHIO ORDNANCE WORKS

Robert I. Landies, the owner and founder of Ohio Ordnance Works, Inc. (OOW), has been involved with ordnance for over 45 years. Beginning in 1964, Mr. Landies started his career working at TRW in the Jet Engine Division and eventually moved to the Navy Torpedo Division. Continuing as a collector and gun-smith of military rearms, he gained extensive knowledge in a variety of different weapon systems and designs during his seven years of military service with the U.S. Army in both active and reserve duty as an armor officer. In 1981, this knowledge was brought to a full time business with the establishment of what is today known as Ohio Ordnance Works, Inc.

Today Ohio Ordnance Works, Inc. has a workforce of 80+ employees who work within the company’s 35,000+ square foot facility. OOW is currently supplying several thousand light, medium, and heavy machine guns to military customers around the world including our own U.S. forces. Additionally, OOW is manufacturing small arms engineered and modified specifically for training simulators and various military mounting solutions. We have established exclusive partnerships around the world as sole source suppliers for several vehicle and remote weapon control system (RWCS) manufacturers. OOW is fully licensed to accommodate all aspects of manufacture, sales, and distribution both domestic and overseas, of any ordnance commodity.

OOW is strongly committed to launching exciting new products and upgrades. This commitment is realized with our new OOW240 and OOW249 Patrol versions, lighter and more reliable than current models with increased ability for end user customization.
