Czech firearms manufacturer Ceska zbrojovka and Slovakia’s multi-industry manufacturer, Sitno Holding, have announced plans to open a new firearms plant in Kremnicke Bane, Slovakia, reported local newspaper SME.

The production facility will make a wide range of weapons and will supply the Slovak armed forces. One of the plant’s main products is to be a semiautomatic 9mm pistol, the CZ 75 P-07 Duty.
