The anniversary year began with the launch of a campaign promoting the 100th years of the Fabryka Broni. In January, the anniversary logo was unveiled, along with elements of visual identity in the urban space and a calendar of events planned for the entire year. These efforts consistently built awareness of the importance of the Fabryka Broni for Radom and for national security.
“The anniversary year was a special moment for us – a time to reflect on the one-hundred-year history of the Arms Factory, but above all a period of very intensive work and responsible decisions for the future. It was a year in which tradition met modernity, and the jubilee became an impulse for the Company’s further development,” emphasizes Seweryn Figurski, President of the Management Board of Fabryka Broni Łucznik-Radom.
THE GRAND JUBILEE GALA, PICNIC, CONCERT, AND…
In the following months, subsequent stages of the anniversary celebrations were carried out. In April, a cast sculpture of the flagship product of the Fabryka Broni – the MSBS GROT rifle – was unveiled on one of Radom’s main streets, becoming a symbolic accent in the urban space. It was created as part of the “Symbols of Radom” initiative. In May, an installation promoting the plant’s 100th anniversary appeared on the theater building.

The anniversary celebrations reached their culmination in June. During this time, the exhibition “100 Years of the Fabryka Broni” was opened, a ceremonial Jubilee Gala was organized, a picnic for residents combined with a concert by star performers was held, and the 100th Anniversary Fabryka Broni Run took place. These events brought together the company’s history with the integration of the local community and the celebration of a shared heritage.

As part of the celebrations, the shooting competition “Diamond of Precision – 100 Years of Accuracy” was also held, bringing together shooting enthusiasts and industry professionals.

An important element of the jubilee communication was also the premiere of a unique animation presenting the 100-year history of the Fabryka Broni, its development, and its importance to national security. The modern form of storytelling generated strong audience interest.
The domestic civilian market also welcomed a anniversary, limited-edition reissue of the VIS wz. 35 pistol, which sold out almost immediately. Offered together with elegant, collector-grade packaging, the product was particularly attractive to firearms enthusiasts, especially those interested in historical weapons.
SALES ACTIVITY
The year 2025 was also a period of commercial activity. In February, Fabryka Broni signed a contract to supply 250 MSBS GROT C16 FB-A2 carbines in 5.56×45 mm caliber, to the Border Guard, confirming the trust that state services place in designs developed in Radom.

At the same time, the offer for the civilian market was further developed. Products released for sale included the GROT S16 FB-M1 carbines, the MSBS GROT .308 S20 semi-automatic rifle, as well as the once again available BERYL S762 and Mini Beryl S223 models. In the fall, the lineup was expanded with additional versions of the MSBS GROT .308 (S16 and S20).

In 2025, long-awaited conversion kits for the MSBS GROT 10″ and 16″ were also released, enabling users to switch from a classic carbine configuration to a bullpup layout. This solution generated very strong interest among users.

The anniversary year also brought significant product premieres. The Modular Semi-Automatic Pistol (MPS) officially debuted on the market and was widely showcased at industry events. Once made available for sale, it sold out very quickly among civilian firearms users.
“We are consistently developing our product portfolio, responding both to the needs of uniformed services and the civilian market. The anniversary year demonstrated that our designs enjoy strong interest and customer trust, which for us is the best confirmation that the chosen strategy is correct,” said Jakub Czułba, Member of the Management Board of Fabryka Broni Łucznik-Radom.

These visits provided an opportunity for substantive discussions on the development of the defense industry, armed forces modernization, international cooperation, and the further strengthening of the defense capabilities of Poland and its partners.
GROTOWISKO – NEW EXPERIENCES AND IDEAS
The anniversary year also included events aimed directly at weapons users. Another edition of Grotowisko – an event organized by the Territorial Defence Forces Command in cooperation with Fabryka Broni – brought together shooting enthusiasts, instructors, industry representatives, and above all soldiers of the Territorial Defence Forces. Participants had the opportunity to practically test MSBS GROT family carbines and engage in direct discussions with designers and specialists from Fabryka Broni. Grotowisko 2025 once again confirmed the importance of dialogue with users and the role of shooting experience in the further development of the company’s products.
