PGZ lands contract with Polish government

The Polish Armaments Group will supply anti-rocket systems to the Polish Armed Forces through 2022, part of a deal said to be worth PLN 746.15 million. Production will take place at the company’s Tarnów subsidiary. It will manufacture a total of six short-range missile systems, the Polish press stated on Friday morning. Poland’s Minister of Defence, Antoni Macierewicz, lauded the deal as a sign of Poland’s commitment to security. “Signing the contract orders for the artillery-rocket system 'Pilica', one of the most important short-range defense systems, is the foundation base of the Polish defense system," he said in a release from the Communication Ministry. PGZ consists of more than 60 companies, including those in shipbuilding and high tech. It has revenues of PLN 5 billion per year.
