On August 23, VOP Nováky officially opened a new filling line for large-calibre ammunition. The ceremony was attended by the Slovak Minister of Defence, Robert Kaliňák, and Michal Strnad, owner of the Czechoslovak Group, which operates VOP Nováky through its subsidiary, MSM GROUP. The new facility, featuring a state-of-the-art automatic feeding system known as a “screw machine,” will initially be used to fill 122 mm and 120 mm ammunition for tanks and mortars. This development significantly enhances the filling capabilities of VOP Nováky, a key player in the European ammunition industry. Since leasing the facility from the Slovak Ministry of Defence in 2013, the Czechoslovak Group has invested EUR 15 million into VOP Nováky, including the installation of advanced robotic production lines and a physico-chemical laboratory. CEO Zuzana Helbichová noted that the latest investment further solidifies the company’s standing as a strategic manufacturer within the European Union and NATO.
