About this report
STV Group a.s. is a Czech defense company that has quietly become a pivotal player in Europe’s quest for technological sovereignty. Headquartered in Prague, STV Group carries forward a century-old tradition of ammunition manufacturing, yet its modern profile is anything but old-fashioned.
The company has emerged as the Czech Republic’s only producer of large-caliber ammunition , serving as a lifeline for European armies seeking reliable shells and explosives . Beyond artillery rounds, STV Group has expanded its reach into smart armaments and defense services, from advanced anti-tank mine systems to first-person-view (FPV) drones unveiled at international expos.
