thewolf_00 Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Hello Everyone, I was just on the phone with the Beretta CS. I see all over the internet where people have the idea that Beretta and Benelli are related. Like Benelli and Stoeger. This is not true. They are both from Italy and have a relationship with importing but are two separate company's. Saying they are related is like saying Ford and Chevy are related or Mossberg and Remington are related. I don't have a problem with Beretta but I love my Benelli's I own a M1 a MR1 and now a Vinci.

tucker301 Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Beretta Holding is the parent company. They wholly own Beretta, Benelli, Stoeger, Uberti, Burris, Franchi, SAKO, Tikka, and some of Browning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickRope Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Really I'm pretty sure Beretta owns Benelli. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hognutz Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 My money is on Tucker. He is absolutely right. Period.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewolf_00 Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 That is not what the CS rep said when I asked him. The CS rep said what I wrote above that they are two separate company's and are NOT related. There is no link to Beretta on this site? There are links to all the company's related to Benelli. I think a lot of people think they are related. Where can I find out they are? I can't find that anywhere that is why I called and asked.

thewolf_00 Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 Tucker is right It is owned by Beretta Holdings. I have be looking and never found the answer. I just looked up Beretta holding and they own a bunch and they are in Finland. I was wrong!! Sorry I was just going by the Customer Service Rep. So I guess Ford and Chery are the same too. Ha ha ha Just joking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeoAtrox Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 (edited) Beretta Holding, S.p.A. owns: Fabbrica D'Armi Pietro Beretta S.p.A. Beretta USA Benelli Armi Spa Franchi Spa A. Uberti Spa SAKO Finland Stoeger Silah Sanayi A.S. Stoeger Industries Burris Company And all their subsidiaries. Wiki confirms, but isn't a reliable source. So how about SAKO finland: http://www.sako.fi/berettagroup.php The companies are generally managed independently, but they most certainly are "related".

Beretta is owned and is run by Ugo Gussalli Beretta and his sons. The parent company; Beretta Holding, also owns Beretta USA, Benelli since 1983, Franchi, SAKO, Stoeger, Tikka, Uberti, the Burris Optics company and a twenty per cent interest of the Browning arms company.

twowheelhooligan Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Probably like red-headed stepchild syndrom. Who will claim what. Daimler owned Chrysler, but were they the same? Nooooooo! I certainly don't have a Mercedes Turbo-diesel in my Jeep. It'd be killer if it did though! Good read and info though. Thanks ya'll! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cody6.0 Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I don't have a problem with Beretta but I love my Benelli's I own a M1 a MR1 and now a Vinci. Take a good look at your MR1 and then do a google search for the Beretta RX4. Cody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novaking Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 and the new Beretta 400A shotgun has the Benelli rotating bolt. I think they even call it that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Novaking Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 I wonder if that CS guy knows what Company he works for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Perhaps he's a contract worker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoJack Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Even though they are owned by the same parent company when you get down to the position of "CS rep on the phone" I am pretty sure its ran totally separate and seems like two different companies. Now way back up on the food chain @ corporate where the fat cats make the decisions on how to make the most $$$ for the stock holders, I am sure its probaly intertwined like two virgins on prom night.
