Lockheed Martin facility in PZL Mielec visited by Polish and US officials

Delegations from the Polish Ministry of National Defence and the US Department of Defense visited PZL Mielec, which serves as Lockheed Martin’s largest manufacturing facility outside the United States. The visit included Polish Secretary of State Magdalena Sobkowiak-Czarnecka and US Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment Michael P. Duffey.

The meeting follows a recent decision to establish a Missile Maintenance Facility (MMF) in Poland. This center will provide European servicing for PAC-3 interceptor missiles used in MIM-104 Patriot air defense systems, through a collaboration between Lockheed Martin and Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa. The supply chain for this project is expected to include entities from Germany, the Netherlands, and Sweden.

PZL Mielec is a key site for the production of S-70i Black Hawk helicopters and M-28 Bryza aircraft.
