It is worth recalling that it was in Kielce that the staged debuts of many products used by Polish soldiers today took place -  this was the case with the MSBS Grot rifle, the Piorun system, the Krab self-propelled howitzer, the satellite imaging system, helmets and bulletproof vests, and a whole range of other equipment and accessories.

This year's PGZ exhibition will occupy the entire Expo Hall (No. 3) and an almost 1,500 m² outdoor area. More than 30 companies will present their offerings, with a total of over 450 exhibits on display.  For the first time, visitors will be able to see a serial Baobab scavenging vehicle, the result of cooperation between PGZ Group companies, which utilises Polish solutions and systems. Baobab is based on the latest technologies and meets all the requirements of the modern battlefield. The first serial production unit of the New Amphibious Infantry Fighting Vehicle Borsuk marks another and equally important debut. Borsuk is one of the most significant projects in the history of the Polish armaments industry, created based on domestic technical ideas and original design solutions. Another noteworthy novelty will be the premiere of the Heavy Infantry Fighting Vehicle model.  In total, the Polish Armaments Group will present a dozen or so tracked and wheeled vehicles for various purposes at the Kielce exhibition.

As the leading partner in the modernisation process of the Polish Navy, the PGZ Group will present 1:100 scale models of the frigate Miecznik and the ship Ratownik, which are already under construction at the PGZ War Shipyard – groundbreaking projects aimed at enhancing our maritime defence capabilities. As every year, the Polish Armaments Group will also showcase a wide range of other equipment, including small arms, individual soldier equipment, radar systems, and trainers and simulators.

The PGZ Group stage in Expo Hall 3 witnesses contracts for the production of modern equipment worth several billion zlotys;  the agreements that PGZ will conclude with the largest Polish banks and foreign and domestic business partners are equally important for the future of the Polish arms industry.  Thematic debates will also be organised with key representatives of industry, politics and the Polish army.

The tradition of the Kielce Expo is the prestigious Defender awards granted to the best, most innovative products. Among the solutions awarded each year are those developed within the PGZ Group;  last year, 3 statuettes went to the PGZ Capital Group, including 7 solutions submitted to the competition. For 10 years, awards have also been granted in the "State Security Leader" competition.  Companies from the PGZ Capital Group were among the winners in each subsequent competition edition.

- The exhibition we have prepared shows the diversity of the group, a wide range of competences and areas of its activity.  Following the motto "strength lies in mutual efforts", we demonstrate this strength in the form of specific solutions, including those submitted for the Defender Award. We utilise our internal capabilities to provide the highest quality equipment, which will support soldiers and enhance our level of security. We are not only a strategic partner of MSPO, but also a key participant in the technical modernisation process of the Polish army.  And this strategic partnership is binding  we do everything to meet this challenge – said Adam Leszkiewicz, President of the Management Board of PGZ SA
