The 34th International Defence Industry Exhibition (MSPO) in Kielce has come to a close. This year’s edition was particularly significant for CENZIN, as it coincided with the Company’s 100th anniversary, combining the presentation of its current portfolio with celebrations marking the beginning of its second century in business.

At its stand in the Polish Armaments Group (PGZ) exhibition hall, CENZIN presented solutions from its Polish and international partners. A key part of the display was a broad range of Heckler & Koch firearms, including HK 417 and HK 416 rifles and carbines, submachine guns, and SFP9-SF family pistols. The exhibition also featured Mossberg shotguns and Sellier & Bellot ammunition, including anti-drone ammunition.

Another important part of CENZIN’s portfolio at MSPO comprised electronic warfare and counter-UAS technologies, including Rantelon drone detection and tracking systems, as well as solutions developed by the Polish company Spectre Defence Solutions, including a VTOL platform, loitering munitions and an FPV quadcopter.

The four days of MSPO also provided an opportunity for meetings with business partners, representatives of defence and security institutions, and members of the Polish and international defence industry. Discussions focused on ongoing projects as well as new areas of cooperation.

100 Years of CENZIN

CENZIN’s presence at this year’s MSPO was accompanied by celebrations marking the Company’s 100th anniversary. The highlight of the celebrations was an anniversary gala attended by representatives of the Polish Armaments Group, business partners and individuals associated with CENZIN.

CENZIN’s history dates back to 1926 and the establishment of SEPEWE, an organisation created to promote and export products of the Polish defence industry. The anniversary provided an opportunity to reflect on this legacy while also outlining the Company’s future development.

“One hundred years in business is an exceptional milestone and a remarkable achievement. I would like to congratulate all CENZIN employees who, over the decades, have built the Company’s experience, credibility and position in international markets. CENZIN enters its second century with a strong awareness of its heritage, while remaining open to new partnerships and opportunities for growth. We are proud of what the Company has achieved and look to its future with great ambition,” said Adam Leszkiewicz, President of the Management Board of the Polish Armaments Group (PGZ).

An important area of CENZIN’s business remains the promotion of Polish defence industry products in international markets and the development of long-term relationships with international partners.

“One hundred years in business have given CENZIN exceptional experience and an in-depth understanding of the international market. This legacy is both a responsibility and a foundation for our continued development. As we enter our second century, our ambition is to strengthen the presence of the Polish defence industry in international markets and to build lasting relationships with both Polish and international partners,” said Paweł Terlecki, President of the Management Board of CENZIN.

For CENZIN, MSPO 2026 was both an opportunity to present its current portfolio and a symbolic beginning of the Company’s second century in business.
