A NEW PLAYER IN THE CENTRAL EUROPEAN MARKET
The ZETOR DEFENCE joint venture leverages the strengths of both founding partners. ZETOR Engineering contributes decades of experience in the development of armored off-road vehicles, along with its manufacturing capacity and unique technological know-how. SKUPINA, a.s., in turn, brings expertise in the integration of sophisticated defense systems and project management, supported by a proven business strategy and strong marketing capabilities.
ZETOR DEFENCE primarily focuses on markets in Central European countries, where ambitious military modernization and rearmament programs are currently underway. The existing development, industrial, and material resources, highly qualified personnel, and the long-standing industrial and commercial traditions of both founding companies enable the newly established ZETOR DEFENCE to meet the continuously growing demands of highly competitive defense markets, both domestically and internationally.
