The project will involve a phased technology transfer, backed by a certified quality management system and structured workforce training. Initial series production is set to progress gradually and reach an advanced level before the end of 2028.
Around 250 skilled positions are expected to be created in Poland, while the factory will also prepare a roadmap for new rocket types tailored to national and allied requirements. The agreement will be implemented under Polish defence procurement rules and South Korean export control regulations.
The signing ceremony was attended by Jaeil Son, President and CEO of Hanwha Aerospace, Piotr Wojciechowski, President of WB Group, and Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister Władysław Marcin Kosiniak-Kamysz. Senior representatives from government and industry were also present.
“This is arguably the most important event of this year’s MSPO,” said Deputy Prime Minister Kosiniak-Kamysz during the ceremony. “We are gaining the capability to produce missiles for the Homar-K launcher. It’s a milestone. We are becoming increasingly self-reliant in defense manufacturing. We’re not only buying weapons – we’re bringing their production to Poland.”
Piotr Wojciechowski said, “This missile plant is a significant, first-of-its-kind investment in Poland with the primary objective to enhance national security by ensuring domestic production of critical munitions, and the project also includes the further development of the CGR-080 missile system and new guided rockets to meet evolving defense requirements.”
Son added, “This joint venture will localize CGR-080 manufacturing, transfer critical know-how, and co-develop next-generation munitions with our Polish partners. It is a commitment of investment, people, and technology in Poland, for a safer Europe.”
