May-July 1936

Compañía Anónima Venezolana de Industrias Militares (CAVIM)

CAVIM (Compañía Anónima Venezolana de Industrias Militares or Venezuelan Company of Military Industries) is a Venezuelan state-owned firearms manufacturer, which was created by Presidential Decree No. 883 by President Rómulo Betancourt. The facility is preparing to go online within the next several months, its industry, blueprints, designers and most of its workforce being German oriented. The largest and most beneficial thing about the facility is how it enables Venezuela to wield domestic manufacturing of its military goods.

With this, the licensure that we have had as well as recently acquired will begin production of the following equipment as well as their subsequent rounds. Production of the first Luger P08 should commence by January 1937. Following this date, we should have the first bolt-action rifle, the first SMG and subsequent weapons within the month.

Caracas Tracked Factory

CTF or the Tracked Factory is one location that will also begin the manufacturing of larger, tracked and armoured vehicles, everything from farming and agricultural equipment to locomotives, tanks and refinery equipment. This facility will be expected to open anywhere from late-1938 to early-1939. It will not exist as one set factory but a dispersed set of facilities around the city's capital.

Caracas Automobile Factory

We will also, in expansion of the tracked factories, begin construction of our own automobile factories using baselines and blueprints from Germany.

Artillery Plants

We will be establishing an artillery plant and a set of factories from Caracas to Merida, although this facility will take until early-1939 until it could even begin to work on its first sets.


The industry, blueprints, foremen and major operators are provided by Germany. We personally and on our own would not have the means to do this, but thanks to them, we do.
