MESKO S.A. and WZE S.A., companies belonging to the Polish Armaments Group, signed a cooperation agreement under which the Zielonka-based company will produce signal harnesses for the PIORUN MANPADS. The agreement was concluded at the MESKO’s HQ in Skarżysko-Kamienna.

 

Document on behalf of MESKO S.A. was signed by the President of the Management Board Elżbieta Śreniawska and the Member of the Management Board for Development Dr Eng. Przemysław Kowalczuk, and on behalf of WZE S.A. President of the Management Board – CEO Małgorzata Kobylarczyk and Member of the Management Board Ireneusz Jabłoński.

 

A significant increase in orders for the purchase of PIORUN MANPADS makes MESKO look for innovative solutions to strengthen the production process.

 

- In addition to multiplying production capacity, our goal is also to acquire new supply chains. The contract with Wojskowe Zakłady Elektroniczne (WZE) is one of the elements of this process and is aimed at acquiring a new supplier and implementing modern technologies – emphasized the President of the Management Board of MESKO S.A. Elżbieta Śreniawska.

 

The Member of the Management Board for Development of MESKO S.A. Dr Eng. Przemysław Kowalczuk spoke in a similar narrative.

 

- We are taking an important step in the process of implementing modern technologies for the production of one of our most important products, i.e. PIORUN MANPADS, based on the experience gained by WZE in the production of components for the American PATRIOT system. Cooperation with WZE for MESKO means the expansion of the supply chain and production diversification, and for the PGZ Group the next stage of commercialization of technology transfers from foreign partners - said Dr Eng. Przemysław Kowalczuk.

 

WZE S.A. has a wide range of experience and knowledge gained in cooperation with the American company Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems, producing electronic modules, including signal harnesses for the PATRIOT system as part of the “Wisła” programme. A natural follow-up for WZE S.A. is the conclusion of a production contract as part of Polish missile projects.

 

- This is a great example of using the competences acquired on basis of offset and direct cooperation with the American industry under the “Wisła” programme. By joining the supply chain in such an important project, the Company is expanding its presence in the missile segment – said the President of the Management Board of WZE S.A. Małgorzata Kobylarczyk.

 

WZE S.A. will produce for MESKO S.A. signal harnesses, that are responsible for transmitting information between missile blocks, which is part of the change in philosophy of the entire PIORUN MANPADS production process.
