The KRICO History
Krico is the brand name of the German firm of Krieqeskorte GmbH.
The company has a history dating back to 1878. The founder Robert Kriegeskorte
was born in 1853 in the town of Rönsahl.
Max began comprehensive mechanization of the production in 1939 but this quickly
came to an end with the outbreak of World War ll. it had been intended for both
Max’s sons Rolf and Arndt Kriegeskorte – to take over the helm, with Rolf as the
technical engineer and Arndt as the commercial director.
The war put paid to these plans, as Arndt was killed in 1944 and Rolf was severely
wounded. Max Kriegeskorte himself died in June 1945.

The business continued at the end of the war in the hands of Rolf and his mother,
Emma Kriegeskorte. There were considerable problems because the production
of weapons and ammunition was forbidden by the Allies.

In 1947 Krico was given permission to make slaughter firearms and this was
followed in 1949 by permission to make starting pistols. It was not until 1950 that
the company was allowed to make air rifles and the following year they were granted
the approval for small caliber rifles.

The production of hunting rifles started in 1954 with Model 400 for .22 Hornet and
222 Rem. calibers. Following this Krico was kept busy converting former military
Mausers to sporting and hunting use.

Since the year 2006 the Kriegeskorte GmbH is specializing in export, import
and storage of hunting and sporting weapons.
