► EURENCO and MESKO strengthen strategic partnership with long-term energetic nitrocellulose supply agreement
Sorgues, France, August 27, 2025 – In the continuity of their successful collaboration on artillery programs, EURENCO and MESKO (PGZ Group) have signed a long-term contract for the supply of high-performance energetic nitrocellulose, manufactured in EURENCO Bergerac (France) facility.
This new milestone underscores the strong and growing partnership between the two companies. By partnering with EURENCO, MESKO ensures a reliable and independent source of high-performance energetic materials within Europe. It will secure MESKO’s production of critical special munitions and reinforce national and European defense capabilities resilience. It also confirms EURENCO’s status as the European leader in energetic materials and as a trusted partner for European strategic autonomy.
This long-term cooperation is a concrete step forward in support of the Poland Autonomy strategy, which aims to strengthen the Polish defense industrial base and secure critical supply chains. The synergy with EURENCO comes in line with the business plan pursued by the management board of MESKO S.A., which aims at establishing the brand as a global manufacturer of the best-in-class armaments industry products.
Thierry FRANCOU, CEO of EURENCO, said: “By strengthening our partnership with MESKO, we are not just delivering a strategic raw material – we are securing the safe and sustained ramp-up of Poland’s industrial capacities. This long-term cooperation anchors a robust and sovereign supply chain, ready to meet the accelerating demand for munitions in Poland and across Europe. It is a decisive step towards reinforcing our shared strategic autonomy and the resilience of the European defense industry”.
Renata GRUSZCZYŃSKA, Chairman of the Board of MESKO S.A. said: “Our cooperation with EURENCO in the area of the transfer of critical ammunition manufacturing components is one of many ways in which we build resilience against supply chain disruptions, which has a vital importance for our Company’s development, as well as for increasing the autonomy of the Polish defence industry. Through the cooperation with our French partner, we will guarantee that the Polish Armed Forces, as well as the armies of our NATO and EU allies, have a continuous access to the best solutions for strengthening of our shared security in the international environment. MESKO has been actively pursuing the conclusion of such an agreement for years, seeking guarantees and supply security – an objective that has now been successfully achieved”.
