Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox company E-Arsenal was an Estonian arms manufacturing company operating in Tallinn from 1994 to 2012.[1]
History
In 1910, the electromechanic company Russian Admiralty Arsenal (Estonian: Vene Admiraliteedi Arsenal) was founded.[1]
In 1920, the company was renamed to Arsenal. After the Second World War, Arsenal factories housed a Soviet weapons factory. Aleksander Silberg became the head of Arsenal until 1925.[2]
In 1926, the Arsenal Submachine gun was designed and produced by Arsenal.[3] The Arsenal Crossley (M 27/28) armored car was produced from 1926 to 1928, the engines being produced by Crossley Motors, and 13 being assembled in the Arsenal factory and used in the Estonian Army.[4][5] Arsenal also had a prototype of the Arsenal Tallinn M1938, which never saw mass production due to the Soviet occupation of the Baltic states.
From 1994 to 2009, a new state-owned company was founded on the foundations of Arsenal, and the company was owned by the Ministry of Defense.[1] In 2009, the company was renamed E-Arsenal. [6]
In 2012, the Ministry of Defense liquidated E-Arsenal.[7]
Legacy
A shopping center, Шаблон:Ill (Estonian: Arsenali Keskus), was opened in Põhja-Tallinn on Erika Street in 2016, in the former Arsenal building. [8]
