Valley Steel Stamp Inc. Acquisition
Colt CZ also reported that on May 9, 2025, Colt CZ Group North America, Inc. reached an agreement to acquire a 100 percent stake in New England Expert Technologies Corp., which owns all the capital stock of Valley Steel Stamp Inc. The acquired company is a producer of firearm parts and long-term supplier to Colt CZ Group. The purchase price was not disclosed. The transaction is expected to close in June.

“I am pleased to announce the planned acquisition of the U.S.-based company Valley Steel Stamp Inc., our long-standing supplier of firearm components known for its manufacturing excellence. The strategy behind this transaction is vertical integration within specific product groups and further strengthening our position in the North American market. We expect to close in June this year,” stated Radek Musil, CEO.

These guys make some of the stamped and machined OEM components for Colt. They have a shop down the road from Colt in Windsor (as well as another location in Mass). It makes sense that Colt CZ would want to vertically integrate their supply chain to control costs and quality, and reverse some of the outsourcing Colt did over the years.

It seems like CZ is actually trying to make Colt good again.

People need to give up on this. It is never going to happen.

Too inefficient...too expensive.

Given Valley Stamp's history with marking dies, a guy can hope.

It's sad that it takes a Czech company to do that.

In addition to this, I learned today that Dennis Veilleux resigned from all things Colt/CZ on April 1.  The new CEO of Colt’s Mfg as of June 16 is Steve Capshaw.  He has been VSS CEO for 20+ years.

As much as I dreamed of rollmark resurrection, rollmarking is not coming back in any meaningful way. Mark my words. Colt has no problem of selling laser engraved firearms and no reason they would choose more costly option eventhough Colt's laser engraving sucks comparing to other makers.
VSS is the supplier of Colt revolver frame/cylinder and parts. That's the thing Colt/CZ is trying to bring in as stated in the press release.

They've been bad in terms of availability and bringing stuff to market
