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]

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]
