- Calibre SA is a France-based company that specializes in the design, development, and distribution of defense simulation systems, military training solutions, and licensed replica weapons for tactical, security, and recreational applications. The company operates through two primary divisions: Defense and Security, and Outdoor and Leisure. Its product and service portfolio includes professional military and law enforcement training equipment; interactive shooting, tactical driving, and piloting simulation systems; custom defense engineering and technical maintenance services; 1:1 scale licensed replica firearms produced under exclusive global licensing agreements with premier arms manufacturers, including Colt, FN Herstal, Sig Sauer, Glock, Kalashnikov, and Desert Eagle; airsoft rifles, spring-powered and gas-powered pistols, and airguns; tactical accessories, optical sights, laser aiming devices, protective gear, and carrying cases; as well as consumables and ammunition, such as biodegradable BB pellets, CO2 cartridges, and propellant gas. Calibre serves armed forces, government defense agencies, law enforcement units, security academies, retail distributors, and shooting sports enthusiasts across Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific. Founded in 1986, Calibre is headquartered in Suresnes, France. In recent developments, the company executed a comprehensive corporate transformation to refocus operations on the defense, security, and military simulation sectors, marked by its official corporate name change from Cybergun SA to Calibre in 2025 under the Euronext ticker ALIBR. In alignment with this strategic reorganization, the company completed the divestment of its traditional small-caliber firearms manufacturing subsidiary, Verney-Carron, streamlined its commercial airsoft distribution activities through its Dolomede Evike-Europe joint venture with US-based Evike.com, and finalized capital and debt restructuring initiatives supported by its principal shareholder, HBR Investment Group.
