Niewiadów Polska Grupa Militarna has commenced the installation of ammunition production lines at its Niewiadow plant. Utilizing technology from the Slovak company KONŠTRUKTA-Industry, the facility aims to produce 155 mm NATO-standard artillery shells, with a projected annual capacity of 120,000 units. The project also intends to include 120 mm tank and mortar ammunition, with products expected to be ready by early 2027. Simultaneously, the production of K2PL tanks at Bumar-Łabędy is scheduled to begin in April 2028, four months ahead of the original timeline. This program involves a partnership between Hyundai Rotem and various Polish companies, including Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa (PGZ), to increase the ‘polonization’ of the tanks and facilitate technology transfer. The first K2PL tanks are expected to be completed in 2029. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-06: K2PL tank production in Poland to begin ahead of schedule Assembly of K2PL tanks at Bumar-Łabędy will begin four months earlier than planned, with production starting in April 2028 to accelerate technology transfer to the Polish defense industry. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/k2pl-tank-production-in-poland-to-begin-ahead-of-schedule ### 2026-10-06: Niewiadów Polska Grupa Militarna begins installation of ammunition production lines Niewiadów Polska Grupa Militarna has begun installing new technological lines in Poland to produce 155 mm artillery and 120 mm tank ammunition, aiming for a capacity of 120,000 shells annually by 2027. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/niewiadw-polska-grupa-militarna-begins-installation-of-ammunition-production-lines --- Cite as: Polish defense industry expansion.
