Niewiadów Polska Grupa Militarna made its debut today on the Main Market of the Warsaw Stock Exchange. This is an event of particular significance for the domestic capital market—the company is the first privately owned manufacturer of weapons and combat equipment listed on the “main board,” including 155 mm artillery ammunition, which is critical to national security. It thus joins the ranks of European defense sector leaders present on public markets, such as the British BAE Systems, the German Rheinmetall, and the Czech Czechoslovak Group and Explosia.
Our listing on the Main Market of the Warsaw Stock Exchange marks a milestone in our history. We are joining an elite group of the largest defense sector companies listed on European stock exchanges, such as the UK’s BAE Systems, Germany’s Rheinmetall, and the Czech Republic’s Czechoslovak Group. Being on the trading floor alongside such leaders is not only a matter of prestige and a confirmation of our competence, but above all a commitment to maintaining the highest standards of transparency and to further building the capabilities that strengthen the security of Poland and our NATO allies, especially since we cooperate with most of them – says Adam Januszko, CEO of Niewiadów Polska Grupa Militarna.
Through investments and collaboration with domestic and international industrial and research partners, the Group is steadily building substantial production capacity in Poland and expanding the scale of its operations, thereby enhancing security and ensuring the continuity of supply for the defense sector.
The Group’s expansion of production capacity is a direct response to the challenges of the modern battlefield and fills production niches that require flexibility and high efficiency from the domestic defense industry.
The investment in the artillery ammunition factory in Niewiadów, including 155 mm caliber production, has secured financing of PLN 250 million, which guarantees the project’s timely completion. Currently, advanced construction and modernization work is underway at the facility on production halls, warehouses, and infrastructure. The installation and commissioning of previously contracted production lines is planned for the third quarter of 2026, which will enable the start of serial production in the fourth quarter of 2026. The target production capacity of the facilities will be 180,000 rounds of ammunition per year.
At the same time, the Group has secured PLN 60 million in financing for the construction of a 40-mm ammunition factory and is prepared to leverage its technological and manufacturing capabilities in areas requiring a rapid increase in production capacity, including the anti-personnel mine segment. These initiatives are in line with the strategy of flexible development and strengthening domestic manufacturing capabilities in the defense sector.
A key element of the expansion of production capacity in Niewiadów is the utilization and development of technologies developed in Poland by military research institutes, with a focus on their commercialization and further refinement. This approach will help reduce future licensing obligations to external suppliers and represents a significant step toward building long-term technological and manufacturing independence.
