Description
Management of Arsenal JSC is planning to invest €4 million in 2006 to open a new workshop, the executive director Nikolay Ibushev announced. In parallel, a new computer system (type CAD/CAM), will be implemented. This system allows the whole production process to be fully controlled. The new capacity of Arsenal will minimize the low-qualified work in some parts of the production lines and will create between 100 and 150 new working places. The new pistol Arsenal compact calibre 9x19 will also be produced in the new workshop. At the moment Arsenal exports its production in 80 countries and its civil production is certified according to the last European and Russian standards.
