RAUFOSS, Norway, Sept. 2 (UPI) — Nammo, the Norwegian ammunition supply company, has opened operations in Poland as part of its international expansion.
The subsidiary established in Warsaw is Nammo Polska Sp. z o.o., which will capitalize on Nammo’s 10 years of working with the local defense industry and government.
“We need to be where our customers are,” said Morten Brandtzaeg, newly appointed president and chief executive officer of the Nammo Group.
“Nammo Polska will be our base for continued growth and cooperation with both the Polish Armed Forces and the defense industry. A stronger presence in Poland will give us the opportunity to follow up and assure our performance in the country.”
Nammo has worked closely with the Polish defense industry, helping it to support the armed forces with high-end medium-caliber ammunition. It was instrumental in helping Poland’s defense industry in establishing a modern demilitarization capacity.
Nammo said it has selected a Polish partner for developing a component to its 25mm APEX ammunition for the Lockheed Martin F-35 fighter program.
