“As Ikonick USA, we are building on a proven legacy while setting a new standard for precision, performance, and reliability,” said Nelson Levy, CEO of Ikonick USA. “Our rebrand is not a departure from who we were, but a stronger expression of who we are. We remain committed to American-made production, enhanced capabilities, and supporting those who depend on us when quality matters most.”
Ikonick USA is proudly manufactured in Stuart, Florida, with American ownership, American labor, and a workforce that includes a large number of U.S. military veterans and former law enforcement professionals. Their discipline, precision, and sense of mission are embedded in every round produced.
The company’s in-house ballistics lab conducts daily, continuous testing to verify lot-to-lot consistency. These rigorous protocols ensure exceptional repeatability in performance and are a driving force behind the company’s ability to achieve consistently low standard deviations, often in the single digits. Ikonick USA’s ammunition is formulated and loaded for a clean firing cycle, reducing fouling, promoting smoother firearm operation, and supporting long-term firearm longevity, an advantage valued by law enforcement, competitive shooters, and defensive users.
With most key components manufactured in-house, Ikonick USA maintains tight end-to-end control of its supply chain. This vertical integration provides complete traceability and accountability for every cartridge, giving customers confidence in quality down to the individual lot. Recent strategic investments in state-of-the-art automation, multi-level modern CQ systems, and expanded in-house primer and projectile production have significantly enhanced the company’s capabilities. From advanced machinery to refined manufacturing protocols, Ikonick USA delivers accuracy, consistency, and reliability that customers can trust. These advancements support growing demand across law enforcement, government and national security entities, retail buyers, competitive shooters, hunters, and the home-defense community.
“This new era allows us to scale aggressively while honoring the integrity and craftsmanship that built our foundation,” said Levy. “We are committed to delivering ammunition our customers can trust, round after round.”
