Česká zbrojovka, which translates to ‘Czech armory,’ was associated with numerous ‘CZs’ at one point. Its sister company, Česká zbrojovka a.s. Uherský Brod, has roots tracing back to 1936 when it emerged as a branch plant of Česká zbrojovka Strakonice. Its production, beginning on January 2, 1937, initially focused on military and civilian arms, including aircraft machine guns, military pistols, and small-bore rifles. However, during WWII, the plant fell under Nazi occupation, compelling it to manufacture and repair military arms.

Following WWII in Czechoslovakia, the plant resumed production of both military and civilian arms in equal proportions. In 1950, it became a distinct state enterprise named ‘Přesné strojírenství Uherský Brod’ (The Precision Machine Tooling Company, Uherský Brod) and underwent reorganization into various specialized departments.

During the 1970s and 1980s, the company merged with Agrozet Brno, enabling it to diversify its production beyond firearms. It expanded into manufacturing reduction gears and driveshaft casings for aircraft engines for Motorlet Praha and hydraulically powered and controlled tractor attachments for Zetor Brno.

CZ engages in the import, manufacturing, and distribution of pistols, rifles, shotguns, and suppressors to the United States of America. Alongside its own line of rifles and pistols from Česká zbrojovka a.s. Uherský Brod (CZUB) in the Czech Republic, it imports shotguns crafted in Turkey based on its designs.

The company offers support through factory-trained sales staff and technical support gunsmiths available from 9 am to 4 pm, Monday to Friday CST, in its Kansas City, MO warranty and repair offices.
