History
Cor-Bon/Glaser Ammunition was founded in 1982 in Detroit, Michigan by Peter Pi Sr. Motivated by the inadequate performance of existing handgun ammunition, Pi developed hollow point rounds designed to expand reliably. His innovation targeted the needs of hunters and individuals seeking dependable self-defense cartridges.
In 2017, ownership transferred to TA Perrine, prompting a move to Wooster, Ohio. Later, in 2021, the company changed hands once more when an investment consortium from Sandusky, Ohio acquired it.
