Gründer Industries began operations sometime in the 20th century as the South Belka Munitions Factory, Belka's primary weapons supplier and state-owned arms company. During the 1970s, the company participated in "Project Pendragon", which resulted in the creation of the V2 MIRV missile.By the mid-1980s, the company had introduced the ADFX-02 Morgan prototype fighter, which was intended to out-perform all other contemporary aircraft of the day.

In early 1995, at the height of the Belkan War, the Belkan Army's increasing demand for supplies and weapons pressured the company to expand its production efforts. By early June, however, the beleaguered Belkan forces had begun massing at Sudentor. The company readily supplied equipment to these forces prior to the Allied Forces' planned assault on the city. At some point, the only functioning V2 warhead was stolen from the company by the rebel organization A World With No Boundaries.
