Škoda Works

The Škoda Works was one of the largest European industrial conglomerates of the 20th century. In 1859, Czech engineer Emil Škoda bought a foundry and machine factory in Plzeň, Bohemia, Austria that had been established ten years previously, founding Škoda Works. By World War I, Škoda Works had become the largest arms manufacturer in Austria-Hungary, supplying the Austro-Hungarian army with mountain guns, mortars and machine guns, including the Škoda M1909, and the ships of the Austro-Hungarian navy with heavy guns. After the war and the creation of the First Czechoslovak Republic, the company, previously focusing on the manufacturing of armaments, diversified and became a major manufacturer of locomotives, aircraft, ships, machine tools, steam turbines, equipment for power utilities, among other industrial products. Škoda Works and their associated Czechoslovak architects and engineers also played a major role in the industrialization and modernization of Iran under Reza Shah Pahlavi. They were responsible for designing and constructing a wide range of projects, including power plants, manufacturing facilities, defense industries, and public and civil architecture that became defining elements of the Pahlavi dynasty’s program of modernization in Imperial Iran.
