IWI (Israel Weapon Industries) is a globally recognized firearms manufacturer known for rugged, combat-proven design. Best known for the UZI, Galil, Tavor, and Jericho lines, IWI builds rifles and pistols developed in close partnership with the Israel Defense Forces and tested under real-world combat conditions.
Founded in 1933 as the small arms division of Israel Military Industries, the company was privatized in 2005 and became Israel Weapon Industries. IWI US, Inc. launched in 2013 to bring the brand’s firearms to the American market, introducing models like the Tavor SAR, X95, and the striker-fired Masada pistol, with continued growth into US-based manufacturing through the Zion rifle line.
