The Polish Capital Investment Fund (FIK), a government-backed entity, has announced a major defense investment of over 2.4 billion zloty ($662.9 million) aimed at strengthening the country’s 155mm ammunition production capabilities. The funding will be distributed among four companies under the Polish Armaments Group (PGZ), enabling expansion, infrastructure development, and new technological lines for enhanced munitions output.
As part of this initiative:
Zakłady Metalowe Dezamet will receive 1.36 billion zloty to significantly expand its production potential for 155mm shells.
Mesko is set to obtain 887 million zloty to boost its production capacity for 155mm ammunition.
Zakłady Chemiczne Nitro-Chem will get 113 million zloty to acquire advanced technological lines for ammunition elaboration.
Zakłady Produkcji Specjalnej Gamrat is allocated 66 million zloty for constructing facilities and systems to manufacture base bleeds, a key component in long-range artillery munitions.
This investment aligns with Poland’s broader strategy to enhance its defense industrial base and ensure sustainable, domestic production of critical military supplies amid rising European defense demands.
