MFS 2000 Inc. is a Hungarian ammunition manufacturer located in Sirok.[1][2] It was established in 1952 as Mátravidéki Fémművek (Matra Metal Works)[3] and began to produce ammunition for the civilian market in the late 1950s.[4][5][6] Initial military production declined during the 1960s and 1970s in favour of civilian production.[5] The company produced military ammunition with a plant code of "23".[7][8] Factory code "21" is also associated with the company.[8]

MFS is one of a relatively small number of producers of commercial 7.62x39mm hunting ammunition.

In 2008, the company's ammunition featured indirectly in a controversy over supply of Afghan army and police forces by a contractor to the United States Army. Instead of higher-quality MFS ammunition, Miami-based AEY Inc. provided corroded Chinese surplus ammunition, leading to termination of the Army contract.[1][9][10][11]
