About WB Electronics

WB Electronics is a Polish technology company specializing in the design and production of advanced electronics and military IT systems. Founded in 1997 by engineers Piotr Wojciechowski, Adam Bartosiewicz, and Krzysztof Wysocki, the company has become the leader of the WB Group, Poland's largest private defense conglomerate. The founders, graduates of the Warsaw University of Technology, have backgrounds in electronics, electrical engineering, and research, which they leveraged to address the modernization needs of the Polish army. Piotr Wojciechowski currently serves as the President of the Management Board, overseeing strategy, finance, and sales, while Adam Bartosiewicz, the Vice President, is responsible for technology development and production. The company's first major success was the development of the ZZKO TOPAZ automated fire control system in 2000 for the Polish Ministry of National Defence, a system that set new standards in the Polish Army. Another key product that gained international recognition is the FONET Digital Internal Communications System, which integrates vehicle communication systems and is now used by the U.S. Armed Forces. WB Electronics' business model is centered on developing proprietary solutions for a global client base that includes several dozen countries, including the United States, Ukraine, and Malaysia. The company's revenue is primarily derived from cost-plus contracts for development and fixed-price agreements for production, with export sales forming a significant portion. The shareholder structure includes the founders and the Polish Development Fund (PFR), which acquired a 24% stake in the company. WB Electronics offers a wide range of products organized into several categories. Its C4I (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence) systems, which account for 41% of revenue, include the TOPAZ Integrated Combat Management System and the FONET digital communication platform. The company is a prominent manufacturer of unmanned systems, such as the FlyEye reconnaissance UAV and the WARMATE loitering munitions, which have been combat-proven in operational theaters like Ukraine. These unmanned systems constitute 20% of the group's revenue. Other offerings include weapon control systems, cybersecurity solutions, and systems for homeland security.
