註釋La Fabrique Nationale d'Armes de Guerre (the National Factory of Weapons of War) is the pure product of its century and region. It could not have emerged at any other time or in any other place. Belgium's industrial strength, and particularly that of the Liège basin, combined with a centuries-old tradition of arms-making to fulfil a mission set for the company by the national government in 1889. Namely to ensure Belgium's military independence by manufacturing equipment for the army - Mauser rifles and cartridges - on home soil. 0This publication retraces the successful history of a company that is today a global industrial force: the Herstal Group. 00The story revolves around the company's output and its ability to invent, manufacture and sell these products. It's a story told through the industrial opportunities and major crises of a complex and sometimes tragic history. 00Table of contents: The booming 19th century / The early years / Momentum gets disrupted /The world has changed / War, once again / The war was over, now the post-war period could begin / The glory years / A depressed market, an increased competition / The Générale de Belgique leaves and the Giat arrives / A new century.
