Shmakalakan Ordnance Enterprise

The Shmakalakan Ordnance Enterprise was set up in February 1915 by the Government of Shmakalaka by the Defense and Contribution Act of 1915. The Act slowly set about manufacturing Military equipment to support the Shmakalakan and Allied troops during the First World War. By 1918 there were 4 SOE Centres producing mainly Small arms rounds and Artillery Rounds in Porto Azul, Palmero, Georgetown and Natale. After the war the Georgetown and Porto Azul factories were re purposed and the output of the 2 remaining significantly decreased.
At the onset of the Second World War the centers once again were activated and produced small arms rounds, artillery rounds as well as engines for aircraft, tanks and other ground vehicles, in 1942 manufacturing of engines for Vechiles was passed on to the SAG (Shmakalakan Aerospace and Defense Group). After the second World war the Porto Azul and Georgetown centers closed again. The Natale center still operates today producing various rounds mainly for handguns, rifles and machine guns both light and heavy.
