Konštrukta-Defence is an state owned arms designer and manufacturer in Slovakia.
History
KONŠTRUKTA Trenčín was founded in 1953, in the town of Trenčín. During the communist era, national economic policy was much more focused on defence; as the economy weakened in the 1980s, Konštrukta diversified into other machine-building and manufacturing. In 1993, the government of Slovakia split the company into two parts; KONŠTRUKTA-Defence and KONŠTRUKTA-Industry. In 2004, KONŠTRUKTA-Defence was absorbed into the state-owned holding company "DMD Group"[1] alongside ZTS-ŠPECIÁL, a manufacturing and engineering business.
