Ceska Zbrojovka Group (CZG) is probably more known to our readers as just “CZ“. At least that is a lot easier for most of us to pronounce.
CZG is one of the leading European producers of firearms and in the first nine months of 2019 they had a net profit of CZK 575 million (about 25 million USD) out of a turnover of CZK 4.9 billion (about 215 million USD). This represents an increase of almost 12% over 2018 (turnover) and an almost 30% increase in operating profit.
CZG markets and sells its products mainly under the CZ (Česká Zbrojovka), CZ-USA, Dan Wesson, Brno Rifles and 4M Systems brands.
Last year, 48.7% of CZG’s revenues were generated in the US, 23.5% in the Czech Republic and 15.8% in the European Union (excluding the Czech Republic).
