Galvion to launch production in 7R City Park Gdańsk Airport I
Galvion, a world leader in innovative head protection systems and power and data management solutions, will open their production lines in the 7R City Park Gdańsk Airport I. The tenant will move in the industrial and warehouse park in the first quarter of 2024.
Galvion has leased an area of approximately 3.6 thousand sqm in 7R City Park Gdańsk Airport I, which will initially house helmet finishing and assembly capabilities, in addition to critical support, maintenance, refurbishment, upgrade and training operations.
We expect to have close to 1.5 million helmets in service across NATO and other European countries by 2025. Galvion is committed to delivering value for our global partners and programs, with an emphasis on responsible regional operations. By expanding our footprint to the European continent, we will be able to sharpen the focus of our manufacturing and support facilities around the world to enhance delivery, responsiveness, and supportability for all of our customers. We chose Poland, and specifically the Gdańsk area, after a lengthy search, and have been impressed with the local and regional support we have received to date. We look forward to establishing ourselves in the area and growing our capabilities in the future, and want to thank the 7R team for their partnership in this exciting development.
