Have you ever wondered how much one bullet costs? How much does one get for selling an old submachine gun to a war zone? And how many human lives will a machine gun save? And who can afford to be a pacifist today?
Accept an invitation to a regular General Meeting where you will decide on deals worth ten millions dollars. Take a seat at the negotiating table and become part of the peace trade! Take part in a unique experience for 14 spectators.
GunCzech is a Czech holding company with a long tradition in the arms industry. It places emphasis on taking care of long-standing business relations, such as the cooperation between Czechoslovakia and Syria, which has been going on since the 1950s.
There is a family atmosphere at GunCzech, even though it employs more than 6,000 people. In 2021, it generated unconsolidated sales worth CZK 2 billion, and its products are exported to Italy, Spain, Slovakia, the United States, and the number of satisfied customers is still growing. The production portfolio is varied: from ball bearings to radar and navigation systems to old but reliable submachine guns “Sa vz. 58”. GunCzech proves to the whole world that the Czechs have a lot to be proud of.
