Cugir Arms Factory

Cugir Arms Factory has a history that can be traced back to 1799 during the Austrian Empire.

The steel manufacturing workshops were founded in Cugir, Romania which is one of the first metallurgical factories in Transylvania.

Militarization of the plant began during wartime and was managed by modern weapons manufacturing specialists.
