Poudreries Réunies de Belgique SA (or PRB) was one of Belgium's oldest and largest manufacturers of munitions, once the second-largest Belgium armaments manufacturer. The company indirectly started in 1778 in Wetteren as a gunpowder factory. By its 200th anniversary in 1979 it had 73 factories throughout the world, with the headquarters in Brussels. PRB finally became bankrupt in 1993 after being demilitarised in 1990 with parts sold to the SA, part of Giat Industries (now known as AFAIR Société Nouvelle PRB SA)

  • Die Poudreries réunies de Belgique, Abkürzung PRB, (Vereinigte Pulvermühlen von Belgien) waren Belgiens zweitgrößtes Rüstungsunternehmen und produzierten Munition. Vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg gab es in Belgien verschiedene kleinere Sprengstofffabriken. Auf Initiative der Société générale de Belgique (SGB) schlossen sich einige dieser Fabriken zusammen und formten so 1919 das neue Unternehmen Poudreries réunies de Belgique. Das sehr geschrumpfte GECHEM konzentrierte sich auf die Schaumstoffherstellung und wurde 1992 in Recticel umbenannt und 1998 an verkauft. (de)
