Poland’s Defence Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz said the deal marks a major step toward greater self-reliance in the defence sector.
He stressed that technology transfer, production licensing, and local manufacturing capacity would allow Polish engineers to become co-producers of advanced military systems.
“Manufacturing independence is now becoming a reality,” he said, according to state news agency PAP.
Senior Polish defence officials and a special envoy of the South Korean president attended the signing ceremony.
Kosiniak-Kamysz added that both sides aim to turn the planned facility in Gorzow Wielkopolski into a European sales hub for Chunmoo rocket munitions, supplying other countries in the region.
The agreement is the third major defence deal between Poland and South Korea in recent years.
Under contracts signed in 2022 and 2024, Warsaw purchased around 290 Homar-K launcher modules along with thousands of precision-guided medium- and long-range missiles.
