Union Metallic Cartridge Company

The Union Metallic Cartridge Company (UMC) was an early manufacturer of cartridge ammunition for small arms. The company was founded in 1867 during the most rapid evolution of cartridge design to date.〔Lewis ''Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology, number 11, Small Arms Ammunition'' Smithsonian Institution Press (1972) p.8〕 Following merger with Remington Arms in 1912, the company manufacturing complex in Bridgeport, Connecticut became a major arms supplier during World War I. The factory was Remington headquarters until 1984 and the source of sporting and police ammunition headstamped REM-UMC until 1970.
