Iconic American firearms company, Colt’s Manufacturing Company LLC has appointed NIOA as its exclusive distributor for Law Enforcement and Military products in Australia.

This agreement extends the existing partnership recently announced for the Australian commercial market.

The agreement paves the way for the establishment of an Australian national support centre for all Colt products at NIOA's new high security weapons repair and distribution centre in Brisbane.

The move is designed to increase Colt’s commitment to the Australian market and establish a larger on the ground presence.

"The agreement provides a framework to establish domestic manufacture for Colt products in support of future government tender opportunities" NIOA managing director, Robert Nioa said.

NIOA national sales nanager for Government Business, Patrick Whitty, advised that “Our immediate focus will be to establish a robust domestic support base for the existing fleets of Colt weapons in service with the Australian Defence Force including the Australian Special Forces community, Air Field Defence Guards and Navy Clearance Divers. In due course we will naturally seek equal consideration for future general infantry weapons upgrade programs. We believe the Colt M4 is a far superior weapon choice for Australia's infantry soldiers than the current in service weapon, and we have an obligation to deliver the best products to Australian war fighters."
