Founded in 1972, Umarex has grown into one of the world’s most influential names in airguns and recreational shooting. Driven by the philosophy of always “looking forward”, the German manufacturer has spent decades pushing the boundaries of innovation, quality and accessibility in shooting sports. From humble beginnings with a single blank-firing pistol, the company rapidly expanded its portfolio to meet the needs of millions of enthusiasts who wanted high-performance guns that could be purchased over the counter. Today, Umarex products are trusted by sport shooters, hunters and recreational shooters across the globe, delivering realistic training experiences and exceptional engineering backed by world-class service.
Innovation has always been at the heart of the brand. Landmark developments such as the legendary CP88 CO₂ pistol helped cement Umarex’s reputation for technical excellence, while partnerships and licensing agreements with iconic firearms manufacturers enabled the company to become the global leader in replica airguns. Still proudly independent and family-owned, Umarex is now led by the second generation of the Pflaumer and Wonisch families, continuing the entrepreneurial spirit that defined its founding. With hundreds of skilled employees and a relentless focus on quality and progress, Umarex remains committed to shaping the future of shooting sports while honouring the craftsmanship and heritage that built its name.
