MSM GROUP Ltd. was established by transformation of MSM Martin Ltd., which dealt with construction, development, production and sales mainly with military material. MSM Martin Ltd. in the last few years took over several military companies located in the middle of Slovakia, and built on its traditional manufacturing activities in military and civil production.

Due to ZVS inclusion into the group structure we can state that the origin of MSM GROUP Ltd. comes back to 1927 when then Škoda Works in Plzeň, as a monopoly producer of ammunition decided to build so called „spare factory“ in Slovakia. The company was totally destroyed during the World War II, and it took several years while the production was restored to such extend, that its products were supplied not only for the Ministry of National Defence, but for many countries worldwide as well.

Today the MSM GROUP Ltd. makes use of rich experiences from the past and know-how of highly qualified workers and vast archive of technical documentation for all necessary procedures.

In 2009 the biggest Czech military holding EXCALIBUR ARMY entered MSM as a co-owner.

WHY TO COOPERATE WITH US:

More than 70 years experiences in the ammunition development, production and complete services in this field.

Long tradition in the MSM locations for the ammunition production processes with significant effects as the deep skilled personal, support industries, development fields, education etc.

Repair/Revision – Replacing of damage parts– Gun powder homogenization or its replacing– Surface areas renovation and renewal– Main technical parameters checking– Cartridge case renovation including recalibration– Inspection of ordnance from 30 up to 155 mm– nspection of 122 JROF RM–70 “GRAD”– Inspection of mortar bombs from 60 mm. 82 mm EOM up to

160 mm EOM – Total revision (including motors) of ATGM type „Maljutka“,

„Konkurz“, „Fagot“– RG–4 (hand grenade) repair– Other activities upon the client‘s requirements– The company is ready to perform the renovation of discharged

shells – i.e. to perform the resizing an surface treatment.

The aim of repair operations is to PROLONG THE LIFE TIME of ammunition. There is a greater economic return than the disposal of ammunition and the subsequent production of new ammunition.

Modernisation – The exchange (replacement) lighter – more reliable, safer,

smarter (eg. which is initiated when approaching)– More resistant material (anti-corrosion paint, paint the new

generation) – New surface protection round and cartridge– The range extension– The maximizing of the effect on the target - in the impact zone– Various missiles variants HE, Illumination, Thermobaric,

Training...– Replacement of outdated components (renewed stabilizer)– More lightweight packaging and more durable transport

packaging– Possible use of mobile technology line (Made by MSM GROUP)– Complete Logistics

Inspection of customer‘s ammo material:– Inspection of damaged parts and initiators– Inspection and testing of technical parameters

1. Physical – chemical testing of all ammunition/ pyrotechnical elements (For example: Fuse, explosive, igniter, propellant, charge powder)

2. Testing of electrical circuits3. Visual checking, testing of mechanical parts, checking

of protecting paints,... -Inspection of the packaging

Report to customer with the proposal for:1. Repair/ Revision2. Modernisation3. Ecological Liquidation

The Scope:1. Revision, prolongation of life cycle or modernization of

calibres from 30 to 155mm2. Revision, prolongation of life cycle or modernization of

Inspection

Ecological Liquidation– The ordnance disposal is intended to an ammo either beyond technical warranty or not suitable for major overhaul operation. – All risk and dangerous operations are performed automatically, by the equipment operating behind the protective armour.– Liquidation is carried out by the equipment developed, designed and manufactured by MSM GROUP. The technology is approved by the respective

environmental authority.– All this gained material is given to the industrial usage. At the end of the total process there is the waste water neutralization performed in

neutralization station.

The equipment is intended for placing, fixing and manipulating with TPH during its disposal operation performed by power water eroding. The company owns special technology and the know-how to ensure the ecological disopsal. There is a lot of knowledge and experience with ammunition disposal and liquidation for Armed Forces of Slovak republic, for Ministry of Defence of Czech republic, Hungary, Bulgaria etc. This know-how and technology can be used for various types of rockets.

The company performs the disposal of fuses which have been in use. The company has evaluated and approved technology, process documentation and the equipment for every single type of ammo. At the disposal performance it takes care of environment and make the disposal in friendly environmental way.

Verification of Ecological Liquidation

MSM GROUP is disposed towards to realize the verification controls of disposal of ammunition performed by the Control Body of Ministry of Defence of Slovak Republik and also by the third parties. The company has been verified by the verification USA team after the disposal of 9M714K in the 2001.

Protocol about the disposal is issued after each disposal performance. The photo documentation from the process of the disposal of individual types of ammunition is made according to customer requirements.

MSM GROUP stores the samples of disposed parts and according to the customers requirements they are submit to the verification team.

Technical life extension Munitions testing and extension of its technical life.

Prolonging the life of an exhaustive inspection of ammunition and ammunition tour. Take all necessary tests and examinations, including testing the quality smokeless propellants and explosives, and other parts that contain an active load.The status of ammunition to prepare a detailed report. According to the results of this report, the customer decides on other operations and procedure how to deal with this ammunition. In principle, it is the three types of results. Ammunition also show abnormalities that required the destruction, dismantling the usable parts as spare parts and secondary raw materials.

Ammunition has partial abnormalities. Ammunition is reparable. After completion of repairs to extend its life for tens of years.

Ammunition has no or minimal abnormalities. After the renewal conservation coatings and surface protection is extended product life ammunition at no additional cost.

Main activities in this field are:– main technical parameters checking and testing– surface areas removation– cartridge case renovation including recalibrationú– final testing and examinations including tests shooting

Mobile technology lines are exclusive product of MSM GROUP Ltd. This technology line is considered as the best possible solution for the technology transport, ecological demilitarization of any type of ammunition in terrains, where the stationary demilitarization facilities are not avalaible or building of these stationary facilities is financialy expensive.

Features of mobile technology lines:

– Placing on the chassis without own drive (container )– High mobility feature and easy manipulation– Variety of the containers set up / configuration – Protection from explosion – Machinery, device and software equipment are the same as for the stationary

technology lines

Main benefits of mobile line:

– Cheaper delaboration (air shipping of the line is much lower than transporting of ammunition)

– Modular system according to customer’s requirements.– The whole process finishes by ecological disposal of ammunition

Composition in 5 sections (A, B, C, D, E) provides the enti-re operation process:

Section A: Mobile explosive-resistant storage houses for explosivesSection B: Storage houses for tools, preparations, devices, aidsSection C: Mobile disposal technology lineSection D: Mobile laboratory unit Section E: Rest rooms, toilets

MSM GROUP has been awarded in 2013 by Prestigious Prize at International Exhibition of Defence and Security Technologies IDET for Mobile technological line for destruction of ammunition:

The company offers the delivery of revision and disposal equipments in stationary mode – placed right in a building, or in mobile mode – by establishment of mobile technology lines in special mobile containers.
