TULA ARMS PLANT

TOZ is for nearly three centuries considered to be one of the acknowledged arms factories in the world, it was always oriented to the production of service and hunting weapons. Taking into account a new military doctrine of the Russian Federation intended for ensuring tasks of security and technological stability of the defenceindustrial complex, we have determined the economic strategy for the development of our enterprise: to preserve the lead ing primary direction ≈ the manufacture of weapons. The main goal of our strategic manage ment is to create lasting competitive advantages of the enterprise.

For this we realize a complex of measures for the reduction of business-cycle, i.e. the ability to develop new products quickly and constantly to surpass competitors in the time of entering the market. Win not those who produce more, but those who are able to introduce newly designed products better and quicker. Our current range includes:

- Highprecision antitank guided missiles with a tandem warhead, special small arms for the law enforcement bodies: noiseless and flameless pistols and submachine guns, special sniping rifles, submarine submachine guns and pistols, under barrel grenade launchers;

- Hunting shotguns: overunder doublebarrel shotguns, singlebarrel automatic and pumpaction shotguns with a set of muzzle adapters (Full Choke, Modified Choke, "Paradox"), the new generation of hunting carbines;

- Doweldriving guns.

The plant was the first among the enterprises of the Russian Agency on ordinary weapons to receive certificates on quality management systems of manufacturing military and civil products.

Russian weapons rating was always high and a great contribution to this was made by the arms makers of Tula. We are sure that in the 21st century our plant will occupy a worthy place in the world market of weapons.
