Polish defense holding PGZ is considering opening a representative office in Ukraine as cooperation between the two countries’ defense industries expands. The initiative could give Polish and Ukrainian manufacturers a permanent channel for coordinating projects, supplies and production partnerships.
PGZ management says the relationship is not limited to assistance launched during the latest stage of the war. The group has worked with Ukrainian partners for years and currently maintains direct contacts with individual enterprises.
From separate contracts to a lasting presence
PGZ president Adam Leszkiewicz said the company is open to broadening cooperation and expects additional joint projects. An office in Ukraine could help identify capable partners faster, coordinate technical requirements and support projects from initial negotiations through implementation.
PGZ is the central industrial group of Poland’s state defense sector. It brings together nearly one hundred companies across the country, operates in seven principal business areas and offers about seven hundred types of products. The group is estimated to represent roughly seventy to eighty percent of Poland’s arms-production market.
A local office would also strengthen the practical link between Ukraine’s battlefield-driven engineering experience and Poland’s established manufacturing base. Potential cooperation may include production, repair, maintenance, component supply and the development of new systems.
The wider trend is already visible among Polish defense companies. Private manufacturer WB Electronics has also announced plans to expand trade with Ukraine substantially by 2030. Together, these moves show that bilateral cooperation is increasingly shifting from emergency deliveries toward long-term industrial integration.
