Press Release, Sterling Heights MI, 24 September 2025: During this year’s International Defence Industry Exhibition (MSPO) in Kielce, Poland, General Dynamics Land Systems signed 52 contracts with eight Polish companies for the supply of spare parts for Abrams tanks. The agreements cover a total of 52 components used in Abrams tanks and represent another step in the development of long-term cooperation with the Polish defence industry.

“Today’s agreements are further confirmation of our commitment to Poland,” said Christopher Brown, Vice President of Global Strategy and International Business Development at General Dynamics Land Systems. “Together with our partners, we are building real production and service capabilities that will enable the further integration of Polish industry into the global Abrams supply chain into the future.”

The Polish government has ordered a total of 366 Abrams tanks. To date, all 116 Abrams tanks ordered in the M1A1FEP variant have been delivered and put into service with the Polish Land Forces. Eighty-five of 250 SEPv3 Abrams also have been delivered. The first delivery arrived in Poland in January 2025, and the final delivery is scheduled for the Fall of 2026.

To ensure the combat readiness of the growing fleet of Abrams tanks, General Dynamics Land Systems, together with Wojskowe Zakłady Motoryzacyjne (WZM), is expanding the capabilities of the Regional Sustainment Center in Poznań. WZM has been designated by the Ministry of National Defence as the Polish defence industry entity responsible for the maintenance, repair and overhaul of M1 Abrams tanks belonging to the Armed Forces of the Republic of Poland. General Dynamics Land Systems continues to support WZM as a strategic partner in building and implementing these capabilities. In May 2025, WZM and General Dynamics Land Systems signed a framework agreement to support the growing fleet of Abrams tanks in Poland and tanks operated by other users the European region.

The first activity under the WZM/General Dynamics Land Systems framework agreement was the launch of an industry training programme that began in June 2025. The training programme, conducted by General Dynamics Land Systems specialists, is designed to ensure high standards of technical service and operational readiness.

The Team Abrams ecosystem in Poland is growing rapidly. In April 2025, BAE Systems and WZM signed a license agreement for fleet support of M88A2 recovery vehicles procured and operated by the Polish Land Forces. Support of the M88A2 fleet also will take place at the Regional Sustainment Center on WZM’s premises.
