Introducing and marketing the brand to the U.S. market will be the job of Uberti USA Brand Manager Tom Leoni.
“The sheer beauty of Chapuis guns and their impeccable reputation for high-quality and durability makes them a fantastic addition to our family of brands,” said Leoni.
Imported under Chapuis USA, initial U.S. offerings will include two shotgun models — the Chasseur side-by-side and the Faisan over-under — and the Elan Double Rifle.
