Complex challenges – strong solutions AKM Group-CZ Results 2024

The geopolitical tensions, large-scale economic transformations, instability and changes in the world order that took place in 2024 did not escape our industry.

For a business engaged in international defence supply, these conditions required high flexibility, careful risk analysis and the ability to quickly adapt to changes. For our company, 2024 was a year of challenges, but also a year of achievements, important milestones, systemic changes and strategic growth.

We can safely state that AKM Group-CZ was able to adapt to the new environment and maintain stability in its operations, successfully implementing a number of key points of our annual development programme:

Programme for the development of our own logistics infrastructure – goals and achievements

In order to further strengthen AKM Group-CZ in the international market, we needed to take decisive steps, and we did. At the end of 2023, our team developed and then successfully implemented a programme to develop our own logistics infrastructure. In October 2024, as part of this programme, AKM Group-CZ opened warehouses, launched customs services and commissioned its own Customs Terminal for the storage and transshipment of weapons and ammunition.

AKM Group-CZ is currently the only private company in the Czech Republic that provides storage and transshipment services for military and dual-use goods under EU customs control. We are proud of this achievement and consider it a successful example of AKM Group-CZ’s systematic and consistent work and our ability to achieve our goals.

In just a short period of time, our Terminal has successfully received and transshipped more than 50 heavy vehicles.

Successful conclusion and implementation of contracts

In 2024, AKM Group-CZ proved that it is able to ensure the stability and quality of supplies even in the face of global instability. During this year, our team sold more than 4000 tonnes of military cargo: weapons and ammunition, including 120mm mines, 82mm mines, large-calibre ammunition and more. 

We are proud that despite the geopolitical challenges and logistical barriers, all our obligations to the end recipients were fulfilled flawlessly. Each delivery was subject to strict quality control by our specialists, starting from the manufacturer’s plant, during transportation and until the moment of shipment to our customers.

In 2024, AKM Group-CZ was also able to enter new markets where it had not previously operated. Our team established cooperation with new partners, end users and manufacturers, with whom we signed important strategic agreements. In particular, thanks to our professional and focused work, our company signed a one-year contract with an American arms and ammunition manufacturer. Under the contract, the order volume is measured in tens of millions of dollars and includes the entire annual capacity of the manufacturer.

Expanding our geographical presence

This year, we were able to open our 4th representative office – AKM Group-CZ in Eastern Europe. This is an important step for us, which includes the localisation of joint production facilities and cooperation in testing new types of weapons and ammunition in combat conditions. Adapting products to local conditions and needs will help increase their effectiveness. It also allows us to be more responsive to the needs of the market and the end user.

During the year, our company actively worked to optimise internal processes to improve the quality of our services.
