Nitrotol OÜ, which planned to begin ammunition production at Ämari this spring, will have to wait, as Estonian Ammunition Plant OÜ, the runner-up in the selection tender organized by the Estonian Center for Defense Investments (RKIK), has challenged the tender results in court, Postimees reported on Thursday.

“The decision confirming the results of the selection tender for the use of state property has been challenged by Estonian Ammunition Plant OÜ, which placed second in the tender,” said Krismar Rosin, spokesperson for the Estonian Center for Defense Investments (RKIK), in a statement to Postimees.

“There was only one ammunition manufacturer participating in the tender, and we find it incomprehensible why we did not win.Figuratively speaking, we came bearing flowers and cake, but we were treated like the opposing team.We cannot understand such behavior, and we want answers,” commented Even Tudeberg, a minority shareholder and CEO of Estonian Ammunition Plant.
