Shell Shock Technologies (SST) and CBC Global Ammunition have signed an agreement that adds manufacturing capacity, advanced tooling and new SST operations in Oklahoma and Michigan. The document formalizes the strategic collaboration the companies unveiled in June 2026 to industrialize and globally commercialize SST’s proprietary NAS3 hybrid case technology.
CBC will serve as a licensed manufacturing and commercialization partner across multiple military and commercial calibers, including 5.56 NATO, 7.62 NATO, 6.8x51 mm, .338 Lapua, .50 BMG and 9 mm Luger. The agreement significantly expands the resources behind NAS3 production, adding advanced tooling and equipment dedicated to case manufacturing, new SST operational space in Michigan and CBC capacity in Oklahoma to support industrial-scale output.
“Signing the definitive agreement is a defining moment for Shell Shock Technologies,” said Peter Foss, managing partner and CEO of Shell Shock Technologies. “We spent years proving what NAS3 technology can do. Now we’re building the capacity, the tooling and the footprint to deliver it at scale. Our new operations in Michigan, paired with CBC’s world-class manufacturing, position us to bring NAS3 performance to military and commercial customers at the volume this technology has always deserved.”
The Oklahoma operations align with CBC’s expanding U.S. manufacturing footprint, anchored by the major ammunition facility it announced for northeast Oklahoma. The new Michigan space gives SST added production and engineering capacity to scale manufacturing, refine tooling and accelerate output across the calibers covered under the agreement.
“This agreement represents an important step in CBC Global Ammunition’s strategy to bring innovative ammunition technologies to market at industrial scale.” said Fernando Salm, senior vice president of International Sales & Supply Chain of CBC Global Ammunition. “By combining Shell Shock Technologies’ NAS3 platform with CBC’s global manufacturing capabilities and expanding U.S. industrial footprint, we see significant opportunities to deliver advanced, lightweight ammunition solutions for both military and commercial customers.”
