Czechoslovak Group (CSG) is a Czech industrial and defence group headquartered in Prague. Its companies manufacture ammunition, military vehicles, trucks, radars and air-traffic-management systems. They also repair and modernise military equipment and trade in arms and ammunition. The group has manufacturing facilities in Europe, the United States and India. The group developed from Excalibur Army, founded by Jaroslav Strnad in 1995. It adopted the Czechoslovak Group name in 2016. It then expanded through acquisitions of companies such as Fiocchi and The Kinetic Group. Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, CSG has become a significant supplier of military equipment and ammunition to Ukraine, also through the Czech-led ammunition initiative. Michal Strnad took ownership from his father in 2018 and retained control following the group’s initial public offering in January 2026. Its listed parent, CSG N.V., is incorporated in the Netherlands and trades on Euronext Amsterdam.
