Cerberus Capital Management Buys DPMS Executives Form Youth Alliance D PMS announced in mid-December that its assets have been acquired by an affiliate of Cerberus Capital Management L.P. “We were looking for a partner that could enhance our expertise in operations and further develop our sales and marketing capabilities. Cerberus is a partner that can help us in those areas, and provide the financial and operational resources required to expand our business,” said Randy Luth, DPMS founder and president. Luth will remain president of the newly formed DPMS Firearms LLC and will continue to oversee the strategic and operational aspects of DPMS. “After starting this business 21 years ago, I couldn’t be more excited about our prospects for the future, both in terms of the growth we believe we can achieve and the level of satisfaction and value we can provide to our customers,” Luth said. “I would like to thank our employees, first and foremost. Their hard work, and the support of our dedicated customers, has brought us to where we are today. As we look forward, we see increased interest in our new calibers, based on the proven DPMS ‘LR’ rifle platform.” Cerberus Capital Management acquired Bushmaster Firearms in 2006 and Remington Firearms in 2007. N umerous industry executives joined forces late last year to create the Youth Shooting Sports Alliance (YSSA). The nonprofit organization was formed to raise funds and create grants to ensure the industry’s involvement in all youth shooting sports. The board members of YSSA were former board members of the 4-H Shooting Sports Foundation, which has been dissolved. “The creation of the Youth Shooting Sports Alliance allows the industry a greater flexibility to reach and retain more youth and get them involved in the shooting sports,” said David Baron, Baron Technology president and YSSA president. Other YSSA elected board members are vice president Cyndi Flannigan, Leupold & Stevens; treasurer Curt Borcherding, Boyt Harness Co.; and secretary Beth Olson, Bill Hicks & Co. Other board members are Margaret Hornady, Hornady Manufacturing; Doug Painter, NSSF; Patrick McDonald, Beretta USA; John Anton, GATCO; Ron Coburn, Savage Arms Corp.; Jay Scholes, Outtech; and Joe Murfin, Daisy Outdoor Products.
