The roots of our present airgun pellets production reach back to the 1960s. In 1960 Mr. Cofek Stjepan, a pilot of the Military Academy and an expert for maintenance of mechanical machines as well an expert for airgun pellets production technology, started to construct his own technology for pellets production. The final version of this technology was completed in 1980. After a few years of test production the regular production started in 1984. These were the best airgun pellets produced in former Yugoslavia. Until 1989 the ammunition was produced for the needs of the Croatian Shooters' Association and former Yugoslavia market. In the same year the production was interrupted due to unstable economical and political conditions in former Yugoslavia. As soon as the political and economical conditions in the new country Slovenia allowed it, a family enterprise COAL Ltd. was established by Mr. Stjepan Cofek's nephews, Jože and Milan Cofek.

1993 saw the revival of the production of air-weapons ammunition incorporating improved technological solutions.

The result of the new and improved technology was a line of brand new pellets with commercial name *White pellets*. The *WP* lead pellets, named "white" due to extreme metal shine of the pellets, have an excellent ballistic quality. Pellets have been attested by the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Slovenia. Both attests, as well as the results of several satisfied shooters and competitors with *White pellets* during past years, confirm the excellent quality and Coal’s successful »different way to quality« in pellets production. At present our product range covers airgun pellets production of many different types of pellets in calibre 4.5 mm(.177) and 5.5 mm (.22).

In the future, our development department shall comprise the ammunition for even more categories of shooters, hunters and hobby shooting. Because of good working atmosphere in our company we can assure a long-tern quality of the products and services to our customers.
