The Munich Security Conference will take place this year from 13 to 15 February. For the first time, the prestigious event\u2014attended annually since 1963 by leading politicians, military representatives, business\u00a0leaders\u00a0and non-governmental organisations\u2014will be partnered by the industrial and technology group CSG. CSG\u2019s active support of the conference confirms both the Group\u2019s growing importance at the European and global level, further strengthened by its January listing on Euronext Amsterdam, as well as the expansion of CSG\u2019s business activities on the German market.<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

The Czech Republic will be represented at the Munich Security Conference by President of the Czech Republic Petr Pavel, and the invitation has also been extended to Foreign Minister Petr\u00a0Macinka. The participation of dozens of heads of state, heads of government and leaders of international organisations has been confirmed. Thanks to its partnership with this prestigious event, representatives of the CSG Group will have the opportunity not only to take part in the official programme, but\u00a0above all to\u00a0engage in informal discussions with representatives of states, industrial companies and organisations attending the conference.\u00a0<\/p>\n

CSG will be represented at the Munich conference by its owner Michal Strnad, Jaroslav Strnad Jr., CEO of MSM Group, Jan\u00a0Ham\u00e1\u010dek, Director of External Relations at CSG, and Milo\u0161\u00a0\u0160ivara, CEO of Excalibur International. CSG has also nominated Tom\u00e1\u0161 Pojar, former Czech National Security\u00a0Adviser\u00a0and current Vice-Rector of CEVRO University, as a conference participant, recognising him as an internationally respected expert with extensive experience in public administration and diplomacy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Munich Security Conference is, by its importance, one of the most prestigious events of its kind, shaping trends and public discourse. We are therefore pleased that CSG will be part of it. Given the current situation in Europe and globally, there will be a truly wide range of topics. Discussions will certainly focus on European security and defence as well as on the future of transatlantic relations,\u201d<\/i>\u00a0says Jan\u00a0Ham\u00e1\u010dek, Director of External Relations at CSG and former Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior of the Czech Republic.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In recent years, the CSG Group has entered the German market through the acquisition of a nitrocellulose production facility and the entire industrial complex in\u00a0Bomlitz, Lower Saxony, from the U.S. corporation IFF. The transaction was completed last year, and the company was renamed MSM\u00a0Walsrode. CSG plans to introduce the production of energetic nitrocellulose, a key\u00a0component\u00a0for ammunition manufacturing, at this facility. Last year, CSG also\u00a0acquired\u00a0a 9.2% stake in the publicly listed company\u00a0Alzchem\u00a0Group AG, which is likewise active in the chemical industry.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cCSG is considering further expansion of its large-calibre ammunition and ammunition components production capacities in Germany, linked to the planned production of energetic nitrocellulose in\u00a0Walsrode,\u201d<\/i>\u00a0says Jaroslav Strnad Jr., CEO of MSM Group, which oversees ammunition production within CSG. He adds:\u00a0\u201cProduction of energetic nitrocellulose at MSM\u00a0Walsrode\u00a0is expected to begin\u00a0in the course of\u00a02026. We are currently completing the preparation for the construction of a new building where the production will take place.\u201d<\/i>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Following its successful IPO on Euronext Amsterdam on 23 January, CSG\u2019s importance on the international stage has increased further. Thanks to the\u00a0highly successful\u00a0IPO, the Group achieved a valuation exceeding CZK 700 billion, according to Bloomberg, and became the most valuable Czech company. Funds raised through the IPO will be used for further acquisitions and the continued development of the CSG Group.\u00a0<\/p>\n
