Truvelo Armoury Explained

Truvelo Armoury is a South African firearms manufacturer. It is a division of Truvelo Specialised Manufacturing (Pty) Ltd. Based in Midrand (Johannesburg) the company produces a range of rifles and other small arms for military, law enforcement and civilian users.[1] [2]

It is unsure as to the current operational standing, operational capabilities and staffing capacity of Truvelo. This is due to numerous unfulfilled orders/contracts and the inability to pay employees for numerous months on end for months starting from January 2022 and continuing into late 2023. This has meant the cease of production operations on site.
