The Hellenic Arms Industry (Greek: Ελληνική Βιομηχανία Όπλων, Elliniki Viomichania Oplon, abbreviated EBO) is the main arms manufacturer of Greece.[1] Its creation is linked to a desire of Greek governments for "complete self-sufficiency" of Greece in the areas of personal and other weapons.[1]
It produces rifles (military and civilian) and machine guns, as well as pistols, mortars, ammunition and explosives, rocket launchers, land mines, grenades, anti-aircraft weapons, various types of bombs, cannons, night vision equipment, aircraft metal parts, as well as specialized machinery, tools, uniforms, body armor vests and reinforced composite/plastics.[1]
