On 15 July 2024 Colt CZ Group announced the continued global expansion of its small arms manufacturing network to include the Colt CZ Hungary facility, where the group owns a majority share and fully controls all production activities.

This newly built firearms manufacturing plant will provide additional manufacturing capacity to support the increasing worldwide demand for CZ’s commercial, military, and law enforcement products. All processes will be supervised by CZ specialists.

This joint venture between Colt CZ Group and the Hungarian government, which began in 2018, will not only continue to supply military-grade CZ firearms to the Hungarian armed forces, but also serve to manufacture small arms for export globally.

The investment and technology transfer into the Hungarian plant from CZ’s Uhersky Brod site in the Czech Republic includes state-of-the-art manufacturing processes, robotics, fully automated turning and milling centres and advanced finishes.
