The Artillery Fuse Company of Wilmington, Delaware, was a special venture formed to supply ordnances during World War I.

The Manufacturers Contracting Company was formed in Delaware around 1908 and experimented with pressure valves and developing fuses for artillery shells. The company came under the control of T. Coleman (1863-1930), Irénée du Pont (1876-1963), and Pierre S. du Pont (1870-1954). In May 1915, they created the Artillery Fuse Company as a wholly-owned subsidiary to manufacture and install fuses at a plant at Church and F Streets in Wilmington. Through the mediation of J. P. Morgan, Jr. (1867-1943), the company received contracts from both the British and Russian governments. The business was discontinued after the war in 1919. On January 22, 1920, the du Ponts formed the General Manufacturing Company. The Artillery Fuse Company assigned all its property to the Manufacturers Contracting Company. In June 1921, both the Manufacturers Contracting Company and the Standard Arms Manufacturing Company assigned all their property to the General Manufacturing Company. The General Manufacturing Company was dissolved on December 15, 1926.
