Offset projects begin to stimulate further related potential investments

Lockheed Martin (LM), which is supplying F-16 fighter jets to the Polish military, has found American partners for the Polish companies cooperating with them, and some of the US companies are considering moving their production to Poland. LM assured that it will not limit itself to carrying out only offset deals in Poland. "We opened an office in Warsaw so that we can carry out joint investment projects with our American partners in Poland and in the region of Central and Eastern Europe," said LM's strategy deputy president Robert Trice. Lockheed Martin offset partners are looking for new investment projects. "American companies are interested in cooperating with Polish armaments producers. Cesna and Bell, enterprises which belong to the American aviation Textron group, are considering moving part of their production to Poland, and with this in mind, they have already visited several Polish companies," said Arkadiusz Krężel, president of the Industrial Development Agency.
