Cartridges MAXAM Outdoors is the world leader in the manufacturing and commercialization of hunting and sports cartridges. Our wide range of products include cartridges that already form part of the European hunting heritage such as RIO, SAGA or ELEY. The innovative perspective is reflected in the brands of VENATUM and VINCI, both brands being at the pinnacle of new developments in sports cartridges. With the same outlook on innovation, we have given our main company name to the MAXAM cartridge line in which all new technological advancements in the sector are applied. Our portfolio of brands completes itself with names that have an important historical significance in the hunting world like GB, MELIOR, IMPERIAL or DIANA, and the more recent JET.
Cartridges RIO is a faithful reflection of more than 100 years of our company history working to offer the best product and service to hunters and shooters. It is a brand leader worldwide, present in more than 80 countries. What characterizes RIO best is its versatility. Having the most complete range of calibers and loads to match the precise needs of every hunter and shooter. The new generation of MAXAM cartridges is a sample of the highest status of R&D&I reached by the company. Our passion for cutting edge innovation requires us to be constantly evolving. The full range of MAXAM cartridges is the result of this. A perfect combination of technological innovation and 100 years of experience. A new concept in shotgun cartridges is born based on design, quality and performance. The VINCI range for target shooters and the VENATUM range for hunters. It is the best choice for demanding shooters and experienced hunters.
Cartridges SAGA Cartridges is one of the leading European brands. Its portfolio of products is appreciated by hunters and shooters from all over the world.

Throughout the years, Eley has developed a unique know how with products that are highly appreciated by generations of hunters and shooters in the United Kingdom and all its area of influence. Since the 1970 s, MELIOR has solidified itself in Portugal as a premium quality cartridge manufacturer. This prestige soils itself in the high standards applied to the selection of components that shape the cartridge; most specifically with its powders and the most advanced technologies for ballistic control.

Environmental commitment Our concern for the environment and sustainable economic activity is a crucial part of our activity. At MAXAM Outdoors we visualize hunting as an essential element to the conservation of biodiversity, as much in terms of flora as for fauna. Aligned with our conviction that economic activity and growth does not need to be correlated with negative impacts on the balance of life on earth, the Evervalue project was born to comply with these percepts. Throughout the distinct companies that form the Evervalue group, MAXAM has developed an integral management system of waste with the objective of valorizing expended automotive parts with special attention brought to the lead coming from batteries. Evervalue operates today in Spain, Portugal, USA and UK.
