It was responsible for designing and producing the majority of the Swiss Army's small arms arsenal during the late 19th century and early 20th century. After World War II, Waffenfabrik Bern struggled to compete with the private firm of SIG for military contracts. The company was privatized in 1993 and was reorganized into W+F Bern. It has since been absorbed into the RUAG group, and no longer produces firearms. Popular and talented designer, Adolf Furrer, worked here and made many weapons, mostly toggle-action.
