Niewiadów Polska Grupa Militarna is carrying out an investment project to build a 155 mm artillery ammunition factory. Thanks to 250 million PLN secured from the Fidera fund, the company is expanding the facility and has already contracted the production lines. Their installation is scheduled for the third quarter, with production set to begin in the fourth quarter of 2026. The plant’s target production capacity will be 180,000 rounds of ammunition per year, while this year it will reach 120,000 rounds.

Dynamic operational growth and the approval of the prospectus by the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF) paved the way for a change of listing venue, with the company’s debut on the Main Market of the Warsaw Stock Exchange (GPW) scheduled for April 21, 2026.
“Niewiadów Polska Grupa Militarna is consistently building its position as a leading private manufacturer of artillery ammunition, including 155 mm rounds, drawing on more than 100 years of experience in arms production and a clear strategy for expanding its manufacturing capacity. The Group has secured PLN 250 million in financing and contracted modern technological lines, with their delivery, installation, and commissioning planned for the third quarter of 2026. The investment includes a robotic factory in Niewiadów and its own testing and ballistic facilities, including a proving ground equipped, among other things, with a 155 mm ballistic gun. Intensive construction and modernization work is currently underway, and the full-scale launch of serial production is planned for the fourth quarter of 2026. The target capacity of the Niewiadów plant will be 180,000 rounds of 155 mm ammunition annually, while this year it will reach 120,000 rounds,” said Adam Januszko, President of the Management Board of Niewiadów Polska Grupa Militarna.
A key element in expanding 155 mm ammunition production capacity is cooperation with the Military Institute of Armament Technology (WITU), aimed at commercializing a domestically developed Polish technology for manufacturing this type of ammunition. This strategic approach will help reduce future licensing obligations to external suppliers and marks an important step toward building Poland’s long-term technological and manufacturing independence.
In the second week of April, the first successful proving-ground tests were carried out at WITU’s test range in Zielonka, involving fragmentation testing of a 155 mm projectile body manufactured by Polska Grupa Odlewnicza.
Niewiadów is developing its production capabilities in close cooperation with Poland’s leading defense research base – not only with the above-mentioned WITU, but also on other projects with the Military Institute of Engineering Technology (WITI), the Air Force Institute of Technology (ITWL), and the Military University of Technology (WAT). This cooperation strengthens the foundations of Poland’s military technology sector, while also providing momentum for further development and accelerating research and development processes.
Complementing these domestic capabilities are international partnerships with renowned industry players such as Northrop Grumman, KNDS, Rheinmetall, Explosia, Wescom, and VOP Nováky. These partnerships provide access to selected technologies and production standards. In this context, the Niewiadów Ammunition Ring project is also being developed, including in cooperation with KNDS, while maintaining the strategic objective of maximizing domestic technological autonomy and readiness to fulfill orders and deliveries from the second half of 2026, following the completion of certification processes.
“Favorable market conditions and the urgent need to build stockpiles for the AHS Krab and K9A1 systems are generating record demand for this type of armament. The implementation of the 155 mm ammunition factory project will strengthen supply sovereignty for this strategic caliber for the Polish Armed Forces, based on Polish technology, while also aligning with key national and allied security priorities. On March 30, the Polish Financial Supervision Authority approved Niewiadów Polska Grupa Militarna’s prospectus, opening the way for its transition from the NewConnect market to the Main Market of the Warsaw Stock Exchange. The debut, scheduled for April 21 this year, will mark an important milestone in the Group’s history and provide momentum for its further dynamic growth,” Adam Januszko, President of the Management Board of Niewiadów Polska Grupa Militarna, concluded.
