Today, together with the Minister of Defense, we visited Ukraine and delivered donations to the communities of Staryi Martyniv and Zboriv in preparation for the upcoming winter. These donations included charging stations, diesel generators, and a power generator, aimed at mitigating power outages caused by Russian attacks. A unique part of the donation consists of reconnaissance drones, which will be provided to front-line units of the Ukrainian army, where soldiers from both villages serve. Our company has supported Ukraine since the first day of Russian aggression by supplying much-needed ground equipment and artillery ammunition. We are proud to contribute to this donation for Ukrainian communities, which are connected to the tradition of service by Czechoslovak soldiers during the First and Second World Wars. The technical equipment donated to these two Ukrainian communities aims to support them in enduring the ongoing Russian air and missile attacks on energy infrastructure, which are depriving residents of a stable power supply. As the winter approaches, this assistance will be essential to help people secure electricity.

TATRA TRUCKS a.s., EXCALIBUR ARMY spol. s r.o., RETIA, Inc., and many more. Our companies form a strong foundation of security, global industry, and innovation. We support those who protect our freedom – firefighters, doctors, and soldiers. This year, we became partners of FUTURE FORCES FORUM – a platform for trends in defense and security. At the conference, we showcased our latest innovation in the form of the Hector reconnaissance system, the new 3rd generation Tatra Force vehicles, and other technologies currently serving the allied armies and fire rescue services worldwide. 🛡️We are the shield of our society. We are CSG.

Today, I would like to inform you about an important acquisition that is significant both for the growth of the Czechoslovak Group and for European security. Large-caliber ammunition is a critical product for Europe's defense capability, and there is an acute shortage of it on the market. Europe lacks sufficient production capacities, and for some components, it has to rely on suppliers from non-EU and non-NATO countries. In times of crisis, these suppliers cannot be relied upon. For several years now, CSG has been working hard to improve this situation. We are investing hundreds of millions of euros in our manufacturing plants in Slovakia and Spain, and we are also looking for suitable acquisition targets.    That is why, in the first half of October, we signed a package of agreements under which CSG becomes the owner of an industrial park near the town of Walsrode in Lower Saxony, Germany, and the local nitrocellulose production plant. Currently, the nitrocellulose produced there is supplied to customers in the civilian sector, for example, as packaging materials in the food industry, and we will continue in this line of business. However, alongside this, we will focus on and invest hundreds of millions of CZK in expanding the production of so-called energetic nitrocellulose, which is a key input commodity in the manufacture of both small and large-caliber ammunition. The production of this material, including for military purposes, has a long-standing tradition at the Walsrode industrial park: the first chemical production in this location dates back to 1815.    The transaction, which will bring over 350 German employees into the CSG family, is expected to be completed in the first half of 2025. This is an extremely significant step for us as we aim to create a vertically integrated chain of companies capable of producing ammunition from raw materials to the final product. Additionally, we are becoming a manufacturer and employer in Germany, a key EU state and the closest economic partner of the Czech Republic, where our group is based.    I would like to thank the acquisitions team, led by Petr Formánek, and the colleagues from CSG Defence division, under the leadership of Jan Marinov, who have worked hard on this transaction and will continue to do so. Without their efforts, the dynamic growth of CSG would not be possible.
