It was in 1324 that the production of gunpowder began in Granada. It was in the same year that the first written references were made to the factory that is now known as FMG. Who do we have to thank for the fact that it has survived the most difficult times and seven centuries?
It's the people. Most employees, whether in old or modern history, joined FMG very young and stayed until retirement. You can feel the pride during the telling of their stories. They left a piece of their life and knowledge in this place. Some of their inventions are still part of FMG's portfolio today.
In 2020, a significant acquisition was made and FMG became part of the MSM GROUP.
MSM GROUP is an industrial-technological holding that has united traditional companies with a long history in the defence industry.
