D&M Holding Company, Inc. (D&M), based in Tampa, FL, has the Czech-based industrial design and engineering company Ekochem 94 S.R.O. The acquisition expands D&M’s global footprint and its capacity to independently manufacture machinery, energetics and raw materials for defense manufacturing.
Headquartered in Pardubice, Czech Republic, Ekochem 94 is an engineering, design, and industrial project company specializing in the chemical, mechanical, and process industries, including propellants and propellant raw materials. Its specialties include nitrocellulose production equipment, propellant production equipment, design of complete energetics, distillation systems, combustible cartridge case production lines, diethyl ether production lines, and explosive-material processing equipment.
D&M Holding is an engineering and manufacturing firm that designs, builds and equips turnkey ammunition, primer and propellant factories for government defense and commercial purposes.
“The acquisition of Ekpchem 94 is a key part of our aggressive global growth strategy as we extend our footprint in Europe and beyond,” said Dan Powers, president and CEO of D&M Holding Company. “Escalating global conflicts and supply chain issues are driving the soaring demand for reliable supplies of ammunition, primers, and propellants. This geopolitical instability has created deep urgency among nations for ammunition independence. They want to manufacture it themselves, and we are uniquely positioned to help them do that.”
“We are pleased to become a part of the D&M family and look forward to expanding our capabilities,” said Boris Fukatko, founder and president of Ekochem 94.
