STV TECHNOLOGY

The history of STV GROUP a.s. as a manufacturer of products for military purposes dates back to the year 1920. To meet security demands of the recently founded Czechoslovakia, "The First Military Ammuniton Factory" was founded to produce ammunition, mostly hand grenades and artillery shells. Under the new name of Poličské strojírny the company was acquired by the holding company of STV INVEST. Since both STV GROUP and Poličské strojírny have been engaged in similar activities, the former took the lead over the activities of the latter. Today, STV GROUP a.s. is the largest ammunition producer in the Czech Republic. We produce different types of ammunition (including their mechanical components): handgun, artillery, mortar, aerial, and sapper. In addition, our company produces plastic explosives, AK-based assault rifles, and RPG-7 and SPG-9 anti-tank weapons.
