In brief
Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa, PGZ Stocznia Wojenna and France's Naval Group signed an agreement on industrial cooperation in the maritime area, covering advanced production of submarines and other specialised vessels.

Jan Grabowski, vice president of the management board of PGZ S.A., announced an increase in the production capacity of Polish industry.
The ICA marks a significant step forward in the strategic relationship between the companies, elevating industrial collaboration and paving the way for Poland’s defence industry to join Naval Group’s global supply chain.

Jan Grabowski, Vice President of the Management Board of PGZ S.A., added:
- Naval Group is a global leader in the construction of both surface and submarine vessels, requiring top-tier expertise. This partnership will significantly boost the production capacity of the domestic industry, while providing skilled resources and technological capabilities to support projects for our French partner. Expanding our cooperation in the maritime domain further strengthens the strategic partnership between France and Poland.
By anchoring Poland more firmly within Europe’s naval supply chain, the agreement reinforces both nations’ commitment to future maritime security and industrial sovereignty.
