1974 - 2025
It is with great sadness that we received the news of the passing of Armscor's CEO & President, Martin Tuason.
We've done business with Martin and the Armscor team for decades and consider him a personal friend. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Tuason family and Armscor team.
From Armscor:
Today we share the very sad news of the passing of our President and CEO, Martin Tuason. Martin was not only a leader. He was a father, a friend, an uncle, a mentor and a steady voice. He cared deeply about the people around him and he believed in building something lasting. He believed in doing things the right way, with respect and honesty guiding every decision.
Martin carried forward more than a century of Tuason family history and he worked every day to protect the values that shaped Armscor from the beginning. He wanted this company to stay true to its roots and to stay focused on the people who trust what we build. He often said that our work matters because it is built on reliability, craftsmanship and service. Those beliefs shaped the way he led and they will continue to guide this company far into the future.
Martin cared deeply about the Armscor and Rock Island Armory family. He believed in creating opportunity, supporting growth and treating every person with dignity. He wanted this company to keep moving forward, reaching more people and honoring the legacy that began in 1905. His hope was always that the next generation would take what was built and make it stronger.
Our hearts are with the Tuason family and with everyone around the world who is feeling this loss. Martin’s leadership, kindness and commitment touched so many people. We will continue to honor the work he started and carry forward the vision he believed in.
Thank you, Martin, for your life, your leadership and your heart. You will always be part of who we are.
