Deepening Polish-US technological ties

PONAR Wadowice S.A., one of Europe’s technological leaders in advanced dual-use hydraulic power systems, and MOOG Inc., a global powerhouse in the aerospace and defense industry, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). The agreement established a framework for extensive technological and industrial cooperation in Poland, combining the unique competencies of both companies.

The partnership brings together two companies with a combined legacy of more than 135 years of industrial and technological experience. PONAR WADOWICE S.A., which celebrated its 60th anniversary last year, is the leader of the hydraulic power industry in Poland and one of the country’s largest privately owned defense-sector companies. MOOG Inc., with a 75-year history, is among the world’s leading technology providers in the aerospace and defense sectors, delivering advanced solutions for the aviation, space, and defense industries.

It is worth noting that the American corporation is a recognized supplier of systems to defense manufacturers, including advanced electro-optical systems for the F-35 fighter jet. It also serves as the systems integrator for the Primary Flight Control System and Flap Control System of the fifth-generation F-35 „Husarz” fighter jets, which are now entering service with the Polish Air Force.

The cooperation aims to strengthen Poland’s defense capabilities through the transfer of advanced technologies and the development of local manufacturing and service capacities. The initiative is also aligned with the broader trend of building technological independence within the Polish defense industry and deepening economic relations with the United States.

„Signing the memorandum with MOOG Inc. is a recognition of the expertise of our engineers by one of the most demanding partners in the world. It also reflects both companies« commitment to developing technological and industrial cooperation in Poland and further strengthening our country’s defense and innovation potential,” emphasized Marek Warzecha, President of the Management Board of PONAR Wadowice.

The partnership is also part of a broader trend of expanding economic and industrial cooperation between Poland and the United States in the fields of advanced technologies, security, and defense.

„We are combining our skills, experience, and research and development potential to better meet the growing needs of the Polish Armed Forces, while developing Polish local content on a much broader scale than solely in connection with the F-35 »Husarz« fighter aircraft,” added President Marek Warzecha.

A symbolic dimension of the partnership is its connection to the initiative to establish the Polish-American Center in Kraków, where the agreement was signed. PONAR WADOWICE S.A. has become the first strategic partner of this undertaking.

The signing of the agreement also coincides with the celebrations of the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States and contributes to the development of new platforms for Polish-American cooperation in the areas of business, technology, and security.

The detailed content of the agreement remains subject to a confidentiality clause.
