A New Hall, Greater Capabilities: Fabryka Broni Łucznik-Radom Ready for Increased Production

A ceremonial opening of a new production hall was held today at the Fabryka Broni Łucznik-Radom. The ceremony was preceded by the placement of a time capsule containing memorabilia documenting the modern history of the plant, marking the celebrations of the Arms Factory’s 100th anniversary.

The new facility, with a total usable area of 3,513.53 m² and a volume of over 21,000 m³, was built to expand production and storage capacity and to create comfortable administrative and social spaces. The value of the investment amounted to over 31 million PLN gross.

During the opening ceremony, Seweryn Figurski, President of the Management Board of Fabryka Broni Łucznik-Radom, emphasized the strategic importance of the investment:

The construction of the new hall is part of a larger project to expand Fabryka Broni’s manufacturing capacity and respond to the modern needs of the market. Starting next year, the plant’s production capacity will increase to over 80,000 firearms annually – our answer to the growing demands of the Ministry of National Defense, the Polish Armed Forces, and uniformed services. Today’s opening also carries symbolic meaning – we are delivering this investment almost exactly one year after breaking the first symbolic ground. This demonstrates that we can act quickly, responsibly, and with the future of the Polish defense industry in mind.

The year 2025 is exceptional for Fabryka Broni for another reason as well – the plant is celebrating its 100th anniversary, honoring its long-standing tradition of arms production in Radom and the successive stages of development that have shaped its position as a key weapons manufacturer in Poland.

Today’s event is particularly meaningful for us because it takes place during the 100th anniversary celebrations of Fabryka Broni. In the time capsule placed in the ground, we included items symbolizing the past and present of our enterprise. The new hall is equipped with state-of-the-art digitally controlled machines, enabling the Factory to achieve the highest production capacity in its history. In this impressive way, we are opening the second century of the plant’s existence,” said Jakub Czułba, member of the Management Board of Fabryka Broni Łucznik-Radom.

The newly opened hall incorporates solutions designed to enable further automation and robotization of processes while increasing workplace safety and employee comfort.

Our priority was to create a facility that is safe, modern, and functional. We used a reinforced concrete and prefabricated structure, designed flexible heating and cooling systems, and implemented an extensive telecommunications infrastructure. The hall is prepared for dynamic development – both technological and production-related,” said Daniel Wilk, member of the Management Board of Fabryka Broni Łucznik-Radom.

The new building is also equipped with a full suite of security systems – from monitoring and access control to fire protection systems and installations supporting employee safety, such as call systems in restrooms for people with disabilities.

The ceremonial opening of the hall was another step in the implementation of Fabryka Broni Łucznik-Radom’s long-term development strategy, strengthening its position as one of Poland’s key weapons manufacturers.

  • The NBP coin “Protection of Poland’s Eastern Border” from 2022, symbolizing care for the security of the state,
  • A trophy from the 100th-anniversary competition – a memento of celebrating together in the spirit of marksmanship rivalry.
