Shares in heavy machine guns manufacturer Manroy jumped by more than one-third after it revealed that it had been approached by three arms manufacturers.

The potential bidders are Beretta, Herstal and US Ordnance. Beretta is a holding company supplying light firearms, opto-electronics and defence equipment (http://www.berettaholding.com/en/).

Herstal is the other European guns manufacturer interested in bidding (http://www.herstalgroup.com/english/). Herstal also has manufacturing plants in the US and Japan and brands include Winchester and Browning.

Nevada-based US Ordnance Inc supplies machine guns and small arms (www.usord.com).

Manroy has businesses in the UK and US.

Manroy floated at 75p a share three years ago and the share price has moved back to 75.5p a share, which values Manroy at £14.4m. The lumpy nature of the business has hit the share price performance. A European government customer orders a further €2.1m (£1.8m) of heavy machine gun spares, which follows on from a 1.7m (£1.4m) order in September.
