LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (News Release) – CZ-USA, the U.S.-based affiliate of Czech firearms manufacturer Česká zbrojovka a.s. Uherský Brod (CZUB), announced today plans to locate their North American Headquarters and build a new manufacturing facility on approximately 73 acres at the Port of Little Rock. CZ-USA plans to implement a two-phase approach with an investment of up to $90 million and create some 565 jobs over a six-year period. CZ products are considered some of the highest-quality firearms in defense, competition and sport shooting around the world.
“As CZ looked to increase our presence in North America, it engaged in a multi-state search for the ideal location,” said Bogdan Heczko, CZ-USA chairman of the board. “The Arkansas workforce, culture, business climate and industry support cleared the way for us to choose Little Rock as our new home.”
In 2018, the Czech Republic imported some $2.6 million in commodities into Arkansas, and Arkansas exports to the country totaled roughly $8.2 million. Nearly 160 foreign-owned companies have some 300 operations in the state; however, CZ-USA is the first Czech company to have a presence in Arkansas.
“We are honored to have a world-renowned brand such as CZ call Arkansas home,” said Gov. Asa Hutchinson. “The location in the growing Port of Little Rock, combined with the high-paying jobs created by the company, will improve the quality of life for all Arkansans.”
Construction will begin immediately, with initial start-up planned for March 2020. Production at the Little Rock facility will commence in two, three-year phases.

In the early 70s, I was looking at the trophy case inside Troy’s gym. There was one photo of the Czech National basketball team.
Troy’s coach at the time, Coach Archer, was still a PE instructor. I was talking to him one time and the subject came up. I recall him saying they were really big.
Smart move..solid red state. Walther is there too.
This is the biggest plant news in Little Rock in a dozen years. The last 500+ job opening in our capital city was Caterpiller!
Our freedoms are under attack, Trump and our AR GOv (Asa-Clinton prosecutor) brought this into a city that just elected a black liberal anti gunner (who happened to show up and try to take some credit) I put in Constitution/Economy/AR/News.
Why is it in chat (where threads go to die)?
Yay, more CZ Scorpions!
The girls are beautiful; Christian immigrants who want to become Americans and MAGA are certainly welcome.
More people making high quality guns in America is also a good thing.
I love CZs. I own 6 and have another on my wish list for later this year.
The second from the right seems to have a slightly larger crown than the other girls. If you concentrate on her for 30 minutes you will eventually notice the crown.
She seems to have two crowns, but her sash and a piece of red cloth are obscuring them …
We have a pair of CZ82 pistols. Great little guns.

If this means I can get another CZ75 for cheep someday, count me in. :)
