The company "Wolfram Europa" is preparing to build a new factory in Jēkabpils municipality that will produce combat munitions and anti-tank mines. The announcement was made at a press conference on Wednesday by the company's board chairman, Magnuss Valdemārs Sārs.

According to him, the new plant could start operating in the second half of 2027, provided the planned timeline is followed. This means roughly a year remains before the project is set to launch.

The information about the new facility was released at the press conference, though further technical or financial details about the plant have not yet been disclosed.
