WB Group, a privately owned Polish defence company that makes drones, communication systems and command and control systems, opened an office in Berlin on 10 November and introduced its German arm, WB Germany GmbH.
The company says it plans to expand partnerships with German firms such as VW and Rheinmetall Military Vehicles, buy more technology companies along its supply chain, and add production in Germany, with Bavaria as the first technology site.
WB Group says it has already bought a company in southern Germany, but would not name it. It describes the firm as an important supplier for its drone range. The Handelsblatt newspaper reports it is Smoto of Regensburg, which supplies electric drives for drones. WB Group has not confirmed that.
