When asked how business is currently going, Jan Drahota gives a brief answer.
"The demand is greater than we can supply."
The Czech is deputy head of the arms manufacturer CZG, which has just signed the takeover of the traditional US arms manufacturer Colt.
This doubles the turnover of the Czech arms company to well over 500 million euros.
By the end of 2025, pistols and rifles are expected to generate sales of one billion euros and thus take over leadership of the industry, says Drahota.
The purchase of Colt in the largest arms market in the world, the USA, by a European company is a bang for the crowds for the secretive industry with complex structures.
