Hanwha Starts Building Chunmoo Missile Factory in Poland
Hanwha Aerospace has started building a missile factory in Poland with Polish defence company WB Group.
The factory is in Gorzów Wielkopolski and will be run by their joint venture, Hanwha WB Advanced Systems.
It is Hanwha Aerospace’s first guided-missile production plant outside South Korea.
The facility is intended to make missiles for Chunmoo multiple-launch rocket systems exported to Poland.
Local production is planned to help supply those missiles in Poland.
Mass production is planned to begin in 2030.
Hanwha Aerospace has begun building a guided-rocket plant in western Poland with its Polish joint venture, Hanwha WB Advanced Systems.
The plant will make CGR-080 guided rockets for the HOMAR-K, Poland’s version of Hanwha’s Chunmoo multiple rocket launcher system.
The facility is scheduled for completion in 2028, with the first batch planned for late 2029 and full-scale production in 2030.
