Press Release
Big news from the Next Level Armament team! Next Level Armament and Next Level Manufacturing have officially acquired Ursa Designs, a respected firearms design firm known for developing innovative firearm components and product concepts across the industry.
For years, Ursa Designs has quietly contributed to numerous successful firearm products behind the scenes. Their engineering and product development work has helped manufacturers bring forward-thinking designs to market.
Now that design talent is part of the Next Level team, and by bringing Ursa Designs fully in-house, we’re building a vertically integrated development pipeline that moves ideas from concept to finished product faster than ever before.
What this Means
Design. Engineering. Manufacturing. All three components will be working together under one roof. This integration allows us to accelerate product development, maintain tighter quality control, and push performance-driven innovation even further.
For shooters, that means new products reaching the market faster without compromising the reliability and precision that define the Next Level brand.
The firearms industry continues to evolve toward companies that control their entire development process internally. With this acquisition, Next Level is positioning itself to operate at that level while maintaining the agility of a focused engineering team.
The first collaborative products resulting from this integration are already in development, and we’re excited to share more in the coming months.
Stay tuned. The next chapter for Next Level is just getting started.
