Founded in 1983, Lyalvale Express has grown from a small Midlands-based manufacturer into one of the UK’s leading producers of shotgun cartridges.
Rooted in a proud tradition of craftsmanship and innovation, we have built our reputation on consistency, reliability, and a commitment to excellence that shooters can trust.
Our story is one of dedication and progress. From pioneering advances in cartridge design to supplying World Champions and helping Richard Faulds win his Olympic Gold Medal. Lyalvale Express remains the only British shotgun cartridge manufacturer to have achieved this distinction. Throughout our history, we have combined technical precision with an understanding of what truly matters to shooters: performance they can depend on, every time.
In 2022, Lyalvale Express was acquired by Fiocchi Munizioni, one of the world’s most respected ammunition manufacturers, and subsequently became part of the CSG Group. This partnership brings the strength of global expertise and resources, enabling us to accelerate innovation and investment while continuing to focus on what matters most: delivering the highest quality products and supporting our customers and community.
Today, we continue to invest in cutting-edge technology while staying true to the principles that shaped our heritage. Every cartridge we produce reflects decades of expertise and a drive to push boundaries, ensuring we meet the needs of both today’s shooters and future generations.
For our employees, customers, and partners, Lyalvale Express represents more than just cartridges. It represents a shared pursuit of excellence and, at its heart, a passion for the sport.
We pride ourselves on quality and integrity while striving to leave the industry better than we found it. We are not just making cartridges, we are supporting a community.
