Taurus was founded in 1939 as a small tool and die company. In 1942 the first pistol was launched. This included a combination of design elements from Colt, Smith & Wesson, and various Spanish-manufactured pistols. In 1970 the company was acquired by Bangor Punta (no longer owners), who also controlled Smith and Wesson at the time. This prompted technology transfer that advanced engineering and manufacturing. In 1980, Taurus bought Beretta's manufacturing plant in Sao Paulo and retained the experienced workforce. This also infused rapid evolution in design and best practices in tooling and machinery. Over the years Taurus has invested heavily in US manufacturing in Georgia to complement production in Brazil.
