Eurenco partners with Poland's PGZ to enhance artillery shell production, investing in new factories to boost defense readiness and sovereignty.
WARSAW (Reuters) -French explosives maker Eurenco is teaming up with Poland's state-run arms group Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa (PGZ) and Mesko to produce modular charges and propellant systems for artillery shells, the companies said on Wednesday.
Poland is leading a European push to boost its defence readiness to deter any possible attack from Russia and is spending 2.4 billion zlotys ($660 million) for a project to build three ammunition factories.
The CEO of PGZ said in a statement the joint venture with Eurenco aligns with the company's strategy to build three factories dedicated to 155mm ammunition, marking the first step toward launching a facility focused on producing multi-base powder.
PGZ plans to produce at least 600,000 pieces of modular charges per year.
Eurenco also intends to support Poland in securing key raw materials needed for the production of modular charges to help Poland achieve full sovereignty in manufacturing 155mm ammunition.
Poland said in September that British company BAE Systems would help it produce 155mm ammunition rounds.

Ammunition production refers to the manufacturing of various types of ammunition, including shells and cartridges, used in firearms and artillery.
A joint venture is a business arrangement in which two or more parties agree to pool their resources for a specific project or business activity.
Propellant systems are chemical mixtures that produce gas to propel projectiles, such as artillery shells, when ignited.
Investment in manufacturing refers to allocating funds to develop or enhance production capabilities, often to increase output or improve technology.
