Unigue history of the FMG

The munitions factory we know today as FMG was based on the production of gunpowder. The first written reference dates back to 1324 and it is fascinating to note that the factory is still producing gunpowder today. For seven hundred years, the factory has witnessed the greatest events in the history of mankind. It was there when the world's most famous printed book, the Bible, was published, and when Christopher Columbus discovered America. It remembers the unveiling of the world's most famous painting, the portrait of the Mona Lisa, and the premiere of Shakespeare's theatrical masterpiece, Romeo and Juliet. When the genius Isaac Newton discovered the law of engraving, the factory had been making propellants for 300 years. When Nikola Tesla invented the electric generator, which incidentally changed the world forever, the factory had more than 500 years of experience. It witnessed the birth of two of Spain's most famous football clubs, FC Barcelona and Real Madrid, as well as the first man to land on the moon. Is there a factory like this anywhere else in the world? In 2020, a significant acquisition was made and FMG became part of the MSM GROUP and Czechoslovak group industrial holdings.
