Thales in Belgium and Polska Amunicja sign a MoU to collaborate on the production of 70mm rockets
Leveraging on their respective competencies, this agreement creates opportunities to build additional capabilities in Polska Amunicja, Grupa WB, PONAR Wadowice S.A. and Thales Belgium. As a result of this teaming, the companies will combine their technical skills and capacity to develop a competitive and efficient product that they will jointly commercialize.
This MoU is an important step for Thales in Poland, being the starting point of the feasibility study for the transfer of production of certain components of the 70mm rocket system manufactured by Thales in Belgium. This project involves components for both unguided and guided 70 mm rockets.
This new Memorandum of Understanding is in line with the efforts made by these industries to reinforce the European defense capabilities.
