Luigi Franchi S.p.A. (Italian pronunciation: [luˈiːdʒi ˈfraŋki]) is an Italian manufacturer of firearms, a division of Beretta Holding.
Franchi products include the military SPAS-12 and SPAS-15 and the sporting-type long-recoil action AL-48. Franchi manufactures over and under, and semi-automatic shotguns.
Franchi remained a family business since its founding until 1987, when it was acquired by the industrial conglomerate Socimi, based in Milan; with the bankruptcy of Socimi in 1993, Franchi was acquired by Beretta Holding.
