With a workforce that has doubled in the past decade, the Federal Cartridge plant in Anoka owes its growth to those who own firearms for hunting, sport shooting and, more than ever, personal protection.
About 1,400 people at the sprawling complex produce everything from low-caliber ammunition for weekend warriors to powerful cartridges for safari hunters. The shotgun shells area alone turns out more than 40 million rounds a month, an increase of about 20 percent from last year.
Federal Cartridge is the centerpiece of Alliant Techsystems' commercial division, whose plants nationwide make 21 brands of ammunition and accessories like holsters for non-military customers.
