Wojskowe Zakłady Łączności Nr 1 S.A. signs a strategic contract for the delivery of Mobile Communication Centers

In the headquarters of Wojskowe Zakłady Łączności Nr 1 S.A., in the presence of Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of National Defence, Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, representatives of the Company signed a contract with the State Treasury, represented by the Armament Agency, for the delivery of 56 Mobile Communication Centers (MCC) in the Second Phase of the WISŁA Programme, which is one of major modernisation programmes of the Polish army. The contract covers the delivery of MCCs in the years 2027-2030, together with a Logistics Package and a Training Package, and its value exceeds PLN 2 billion, which makes it one of the largest contracts in the Company's history.

The WISŁA Programme is a flagship project of the Polish Armed Forces, aimed at creating a multi-layer air defence system based on modern technologies compatible with NATO solutions. Mobile Communication Centers manufactured by WZŁ Nr 1 S.A. are an important element of the system’s infrastructure, ensuring secure, interference-resistant and encrypted communication at the tactical and operational level.

The official signing of the contract was attended by Sławomir Obszyński, President of the Management Board of WZŁ-1 S.A., while the Ordering Party, the Armament Agency, was represented by Brig. Gen. Michał Marciniak, Ph.D. Eng.

"This is an important moment, as we are signing another agreement with the Polish arms industry. We are building a modern, multi-layer air defence system for Poland, which must be integrated and well-connected, and Mobile Communication Centers are the basis for good communication. I would like to thank everyone for approving of such large investments in our army. We seek peace but peace can only be defended with force. I would like to thank Wojskowe Zakłady Łączności Nr 1 for taking on this challenge and the Polish army for choosing the best Polish suppliers," said Deputy Prime Minister, Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz.

“The Polish Armaments Group is a strategic partner in the technical modernisation of the Polish Armed Forces. The Wisła programme, implemented on the Polish side by a consortium with Wojskowe Zakłady Łączności Nr 1 as an integral part, is one of key projects of the Polish Armaments Group. It is gratifying that the role of Polish companies in the programme is expanding and that the contract amounts are increasing. Not only will they strengthen the financial condition of these companies but also constitute a basis for developing new projects of their own. And most importantly, thanks to these projects, the Polish Armed Forces will receive necessary modern equipment. WZŁ1 is making good use of the opportunity which is its participation in these long-term programmes. The company thus confirms that it is a trustworthy partner which offers products of world-class quality”, emphasised Adam Leszkiewicz, CEO of PGZ S.A.

For WZŁ nr 1 S.A. it is not only an all-time biggest contract in terms of value but above all a confirmation that the Company is trusted by the representatives of the Polish Armed Forces who are responsible for the development of Poland's modern defence capabilities.

 “MCC is a key element of the air defence system within the Wisła Programme, so it is with pride that we undertake this task. We know how important reliable communication is in operational environment and we will do our best to deliver equipment of the highest quality. It is the greatest technological challenge in the history of our Company but also a confirmation of the Company's readiness to execute the most demanding projects. The contract is the result of many months of intensive work by the entire WZŁ Nr 1 S.A.’s team and excellent cooperation with the Armament Agency”, said Sławomir Obszyński, President of the Management Board of WZŁ Nr 1 S.A.

Execution of the contract is of high importance both for the Polish Armed Forces and the Company. It is a project that involves a serial production of military equipment, development of technologies and workforce, extension of technical facilities and tightening of cooperation with business partners.
