Kongsberg Gruppen to Open Drone Defence Production Facility Near Gdansk

Kongsberg Gruppen disclosed that it will construct a new manufacturing complex near Gdansk, Poland, focused on the production and upkeep of systems designed to detect and neutralise drones. The plant is expected to generate more than 100 new positions and will be integrated into the firm’s worldwide production chain, supplying the Polish market as well as other future European clients. The company aims to start series production during the first half of 2028.

This investment coincides with a three-page strategic partnership agreement signed by Norway and Poland, which highlights deeper collaboration on security, defence, resilience and support for Ukraine. Executives said the facility will bolster Polish industrial capacity and defence readiness while expanding Kongsberg’s presence in the region.
