History and Development
Rio has a long-standing history in ammunition manufacturing, with origins tied to the Sociedad Española de la Dinamita (SED), founded in 1872 in Spain. Over time, the company developed into a producer of cartridges for hunting and sport shooting applications. Rio emphasizes integrated manufacturing, maintaining control over key components including hulls, primers, powders, wads, and shot. The Star Team line was developed with input from experienced shooters to support clay target disciplines such as trap, skeet, and sporting clays. This reflects Rio’s focus on application-specific design and consistent performance across training and competition use.
