The Polish defense technology company WB Group has opened a representative office in Berlin and officially introduced its German subsidiary, WB Germany GmbH. The move underlines the company's ambitions to expand its footprint in Germany through industrial partnerships, acquisitions and local production.
According to information published by German defense industry publication Hartpunkt, WB Group has already acquired a technology company in southern Germany. While the company did not officially name the business, reports suggest it is Regensburg based Smoto, a supplier of electric propulsion systems for drones.
WB Group develops and manufactures drones, communication systems and battlefield management technologies. The privately owned company employs more than 3,000 people, including around 1,500 researchers and developers. Current development work focuses on faster drones, reduced signatures, improved protection against countermeasures and higher levels of autonomy.
The new Berlin office is intended to serve as a contact point for industry partners, government institutions, the Bundeswehr, research organizations and defense technology companies. The company also plans to expand existing partnerships with German firms, including cooperation in vehicle integration, unmanned ground systems and networked operational capabilities.
Company founder Piotr Wojciechowski described Germany and Poland as key partners in strengthening European security. WB Group sees itself as an industrial bridge between both countries and aims to deepen cooperation following the German Polish defense agreement signed in June 2026.
The Berlin opening also reflects increasing international interest in Germany's defense sector. During the launch event, Polish Deputy Foreign Minister Marcin Bosacki said he expects further investments and acquisitions by companies from Poland and other Central and Eastern European countries.
