Our story

PGM is the exclusive designer and manufacturer of the Hecate 2, Mini Hecate 2, PGM 338, Ultima Ratio and Ludis rifles.
Creation of PGM
PGM precision created in 1993 is a company located in Poisy in Haute Savoie (French Alps).
It is now part of the Teissier Technique group which specialises in precision mechanics for the aviation, armaments, luxury goods and robotics industries.
The factory is located only a few kilometres from PGM Précision. The two companies belong to the same holding company, which allows PGM to have control over the quality of its products throughout the manufacturing process.
Key dates:
1991: Mr Gilles Payen created the first Ultima Ratio, for the RAID (elite unit of the French police force).
