Grupa Niewiadów-PGM Begins Key Cooperation with Wescom

Zakłady Sprzętu Precyzyjnego Niewiadów have signed an agreement with Wescom Signal & Rescue Germany for the production and delivery of portable explosive demining systems based on linear shaped charges, intended for the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA).

On Monday, July 28, 2025, Zakłady Sprzętu Precyzyjnego (ZSP) Niewiadów, part of Grupa Niewiadów-PGM, signed an agreement with Wescom Signal & Rescue Germany, a company within the Wescom Group, for the production and delivery of portable explosive demining systems based on linear shaped charges, intended for supply to the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA).

They will be manufactured based on designs owned by Wescom. The agreement is a framework contract signed for five years, with the possibility of extension. The parties anticipate monthly orders. This collaboration could significantly impact Grupa Niewiadów-PGM’s revenue growth.

It is worth noting that since July 16, 2025, PGM has been operating under its new name: Grupa Niewiadów-PGM.

Signing the agreement with Wescom is an important step in the continued development of Grupa Niewiadów-PGM and a confirmation of the trust placed in us by global entities responsible for security and defense. The expertise of our specialists, our production experience, and our ability to deliver highly specialized projects have been recognized once again. The execution of this contract with Wescom not only provides a further boost to the Group’s growth but also reflects our commitment to building modern solutions for the security of NATO member states. It is also a key milestone in expanding our international presence,” said Grzegorz Niedzielski, CEO of Grupa Niewiadów-PGM.

Wescom Group is a global leader in providing specialized solutions for ensuring safety under the most demanding conditions. The company offers pyrotechnic rescue signaling devices, safety systems, defense solutions, and medical products.

Wescom Signal & Rescue Germany GmbH is the German branch of the global Wescom Group, specializing in rescue and signaling technologies, particularly in the maritime and military sectors. Within Wescom Defence, the company leverages over a century of experience in manufacturing military pyrotechnic and energetic systems (including flares, smoke signals, position markers, and chemical detectors), widely used in search and rescue operations around the world. The Group’s scale includes hundreds of products, global distribution, long-standing NATO credentials, and a broad defense customer base.

A Stock Exchange–Listed Leader in the Defense Sector

Since July 16, 2025, the Group has been operating under the new name: Grupa Niewiadów-PGM. The merger of Polska Grupa Militarna (PGM), listed on the NewConnect stock exchange, with Grupa Niewiadów, a well-established manufacturer of special-purpose equipment and solutions for both military and civilian sectors, has resulted in the creation of a new capital group with enhanced operational and technological capabilities.

The integrated entity operates across a broad spectrum of the defense sector. The Group also includes companies specializing in unmanned systems (drones), dual-use products, military logistics, and advanced technologies for the armed forces. The Group holds a license from the Ministry of Interior and Administration (MSWiA) for the production and storage of ammunition, as well as the trade in military goods, and develops cutting-edge solutions tailored to modern battlefield requirements.

One of the Group’s most important assets is ZSP Niewiadów, a company with more than 100 years of defense manufacturing history and extensive experience in supplying the Polish Armed Forces. The Group is currently implementing a strategic project to build a state-of-the-art 155 mm ammunition factory, addressing the growing defense needs of Poland and its allies. The 155 mm caliber is a key component of military arsenals worldwide.

Thanks to its scale of operations, complementary competencies, and advanced technological infrastructure, Grupa Niewiadów-PGM is building a robust defense industry holding, one of the most comprehensive and dynamically developing private-sector players in Poland. The Group’s products are delivered to both domestic and export markets.
