The history of Targi Kielce’s cooperation with Poland’s largest defence manufacturer dates back to the days of the Bumar Group and Polish Defence Holding.  Following the creation of Polish Armaments Group in 2013, the partnership has been consistently developed, with PGZ remaining the uninterrupted Strategic Partner of the International Defence Industry Exhibition.

Polish Armaments Group has been our natural partner for many years.   Since the inception of MSPO, our aim has been to create a global window of opportunity in Kielce for the Polish defence industry.  Today, we are jointly building the brand of an event that leads the sector in this part of Europe. I am convinced that the signed agreement does not mark the conclusion of any stage of our collaboration – on the contrary, it unlocks further opportunities and signals the continued shared growth of MSPO," said Andrzej Mochoń, President of the Management Board of Targi Kielce.

The signing ceremony took place inside Targi Kielce’s new exhibition hall, which will be officially opened during this year’s MSPO.  It is precisely there that Polish Armaments Group will showcase its exhibition for the very first time.

"Today’s agreement formally covers two years, but we view it as the beginning of the next chapter in our collaboration.  We want Polish Armaments Group to remain the Strategic Partner of MSPO for many years to come. Together with Targi Kielce, we are building an event that we can now proudly compare with the most prestigious defence trade fairs in Europe.  This year’s edition will be exceptional – for the first time, we will present our exhibition in the new expo hall, demonstrating not only the Group’s potential, but also the future direction of the Polish defence industry," stated Adam Leszkiewicz, President of the Management Board of Polish Armaments Group.

The signed contract serves not only as a formal endorsement of the partnership, but also as an expression of a shared vision for the future development of the International Defence Industry Exhibition.  The long-standing collaboration between Targi Kielce and Polish Armaments Group has continually strengthened MSPO's position as one of the premier defence sector events in Europe.

This year’s International Defence Industry Exhibition promises to be the largest in the event’s more than 30-year history.  Nearly 1,000 exhibitors from around the world have confirmed their participation, and the entire exhibition space is completely sold out.  The debut of the new hall alongside the premiere showcase from Polish Armaments Group will be among the main highlights of the 34th MSPO.
