Krušik traces its industrial roots to a private ammunition factory founded in 1939 under the Vistad name and to the postwar Krušik registration in January 1948. The company describes a 140-hectare state-owned site in Valjevo with more than 2,000 employees, ammunition-production traditions, explosive-charge technologies, machining, heat treatment, forging, plastic-part manufacturing, plating, and other in-house industrial processes that support serial weapons and ammunition production.

The official Krušik military catalog lists a broad mortar-ammunition line in 60 mm, 81/82 mm, and 120 mm calibers, including high-explosive, smoke, illuminating, thermobaric, extended-range, and UAV-adapted variants. The Partner 2025 defense-industry catalog also identifies Krušik as a Serbian producer of mortar shells, rockets, and missiles, with batch production of aircraft rockets and ground-to-ground artillery rockets and modernization work on Malyutka-family guided missiles.

Krušik public sources mix the shorter Krušik name with legal forms such as HK Krušik a.d. and Holding Korporacija Krušik AD Valjevo. This profile uses Krušik as the canonical manufacturer name because the connected weapon records and the company's own English website use that public label.
