The story of Grünig + Elmiger AG began in 1962, when Kurt Grünig and Heinz Elmiger took over the firearms factory originally founded by Walther Lienhard in 1922. Driven by a shared vision for precision and performance, the founders established their own company, relocating to Malters in 1968 to expand production and innovation. Over the decades, Grünig + Elmiger has faced the challenges of evolving competition standards and technological advancements, consistently rising to meet the demands of world-class shooters. A major milestone was the development of the Racer series, which gained international acclaim after winning medals at the ISSF World Championships. The company also collaborated with Nammo Lapua to develop the 6.5×47mm Lapua cartridge, further cementing its reputation for technical leadership. Today, under the stewardship of the Grünig family, the company continues to push the boundaries of accuracy and reliability, serving a global clientele of athletes and enthusiasts. Grünig + Elmiger’s enduring commitment to quality, innovation, and customer service has made it a benchmark in the world of competitive shooting.
