Colonial Ammunition Company
The Colonial Ammunition Company (CAC) was an ammunition manufacturer in Auckland, New Zealand. It was established by Major John Whitney with government encouragement in 1885 during the Russian Scare. The first ordnance manufacturer in Australasia, it later expanded in other business directions from 1925 on. In the Second World War, it was New Zealand's only industrial manufacturer of ammunition (having temporarily increased its workforce from 230 to 900), with production in countries like Australia having long since overtaken the small size of the New Zealand market for ammunition.
