Polish TNT boost strengthens ties with US army contract
The Nitro-Chem Chemical Works in Bydgoszcz signed a contract with Paramount Enterprises International on Wednesday. The contract, valued at £230 million, involves the supply of TNT for the US Army from 2027 to 2029.
The agreement for the supply of TNT to the US Army was signed in the presence of Deputy Defence Minister Cezary Tomczyk. "This meeting is exceptional because we are sharing our capabilities and selling our products to the United States, to the company Paramount. Poland is the largest producer of TNT in NATO. Nitro-Chem is a facility we can be proud of," emphasised the Deputy Head of the Ministry of National Defence.
"Simultaneously, we are investing £570 million in new ammunition factories (calibre - ed.) 155 mm. This is a breakthrough in the Polish-American alliance and a huge step forward for our defence industry," added Tomczyk on the X platform.
