PONAR Defence – a new brand by PONAR Wadowice

 

During the press conference "PONAR Wadowice in the latest activities for defense", which took place on September 4, we presented the new brand PONAR Defense. A brand that was created in response to the growing demand for specialized solutions in the defense industry.

"Introducing a new brand to the Polish arms industry market, PONAR Defense, is a great moment for our company. It is the culmination of several years of research and development work, work on increasing competences in the field of engineering, production, organizational and quality solutions, which allowed us to create a portfolio of unique products. Products that are currently used in all military vehicles manufactured in Poland" - said Mr Marek Warzecha, President of the Management Board of PONAR Wadowice S.A. during the conference.

 

Products showcased at MSPO

 

During this year's MSPO trade fair, we presented a wide range of advanced hydraulic components for various military applications, including combat vehicles, command vehicles and radar stations. Based on many years of experience in the design and production of hydraulic systems, our solutions are designed to work in combat conditions, in extreme temperatures, high dust levels and humidity.

The showcased products include:

  • WHP25 and WHP35 hydropneumatic suspensions designed for tracked vehicles such as Command and Staff Vehicles and Infantry Fighting Vehicles, ensuring reliability in difficult terrain conditions.
  • a balancing mechanism and a brake, as well as a hydraulic power unit integrated in the turret system of the Krab self-propelled gun-howitzer
  • a positioning cylinder for "Bystra" deployable radar station
  • outrigger rotation actuators used in the hydraulic system of command cabins, which ensure stability and safety during field operations
  • a WREM-type section distributor mounted in the Warta mobile three-coordinate radar station
  • a control unit used in hydraulic container levelling systems
  • a hydraulic power unit for the cabin lifting mechanism in Jelcz trucks.

 

Cooperation agreement with Thales Belgium

 

On September 3, 2024, on the first day of the MSPO trade fair, we signed a cooperation agreement with Thales Belgium. The agreement creates opportunities to combine technical skills and production potential to jointly develop a competitive product, which will be 70 mm rockets.

 

Plans for the coming years

 

During the conference, Vice President of the Management Board, Rafał Worek, also presented plans for the coming years regarding the development of our products and production capabilities for the defense industry.

Investments related to the expansion of the company's plants are planned, which will allow for an increase in production capacity.

"We have experience not only in the production of hydraulic components but also in the production of hydropneumatic suspensions. We currently supply passive suspensions for tracked vehicles. Our team of engineers is developing an innovative solution - active suspensions, in which the parameters of the running gear setting are automatically adjusted. We also plan to introduce full suspension platforms to the market, which will be able to be used in both tracked and wheeled vehicles. In the perspective of 3 to 5 years, we plan to achieve the capacity to produce all suspensions for vehicles used by the Polish Army," emphasized Rafał Worek, Vice President of the Management Board of PONAR Wadowice S.A.


Our solutions have been supporting the Polish defense industry for years, delivering highly reliable products that perform well in combat conditions.

Thanks to our experience and innovative technologies, we are constantly improving the quality and efficiency of our products, which allows us to meet the growing requirements.

See you at the next edition of the MSPO 2025 trade fair.
