Fincantieri and Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa S.A. (PGZ) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) during the MSPO International Defence Industry Exhibition, currently ongoing in Kielce, marking a significant milestone in the development of industrial cooperation in the naval defense sector.

The MoU was signed today by Mauro Manzini, Vice President Sales of Fincantieri’s Naval Vessels Division, and Jan Grabowski, Vice President of PGZ, and establishes a framework for strategic collaboration aimed at supporting the modernization of the Polish Navy, with a particular focus on the ORKA submarine acquisition program.

“Poland is a key strategic partner for Fincantieri, and we are proud to contribute to the country’s ambitious naval modernization plans,” said Pierroberto Folgiero, CEO and Managing Director of Fincantieri. “With a legacy of more than 180 submarines built and a proven track record in advanced naval platforms, we bring unparalleled expertise to support the ORKA program and to develop a long-term industrial cooperation with PGZ and the national defense industry.”

Under the agreement, Fincantieri and PGZ will explore joint opportunities in the design, construction, and through-life support of advanced naval platforms, including submarines. This partnership will combine Fincantieri’s technological leadership in naval shipbuilding with PGZ’s extensive industrial base, which plays a central role in Poland’s defense modernization strategy. Together, the two companies aim to develop joint opportunities not only for the Polish Navy but also in broader international markets.

PGZ is Poland’s leading state-owned defense group, managing a portfolio of companies active in shipbuilding, offshore construction, and the technical modernization of the Polish Armed Forces.
