ABOUT COMPANY

Company profile

Research and Development Centre for Mechanical Equipment OBRUM Ltd in Gliwice is one of the oldest and most unique research and development facilities in the country. OBRUM creates products intended for the Polish Armed Forces. The main customers of the works are land forces, including mechanised, armoured, radiolocation and engineering forces. Works on new products are carried out in a full cycle, i.e. from the concept to serial production, which requires highly qualified engineering and technical staff.

Mission and Vision

OBRUM's mission is to create innovations for security.

As an entity of the Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa, the Centre has completed a number of projects that have resulted in the delivery of modern, proven and safe equipment for the Polish defence industry. Currently, OBRUM is a leader in, among others, mobile bridges and demining tanks. The Centre also creates autonomy systems for unmanned vehicles and simulators that increase the level of training and safety of soldiers, support operation, maintenance, and service of equipment.

OBRUM's goal is not only to maintain its current position in the market but also to be a world leader in the technical modernisation of the Polish Armed Forces. OBRUM's vision is to remain a brand associated with safety and reliable products, be a leader in training systems and simulators, operation support systems, and technology integration for the new generation of tracked vehicles. It also desires to be a partner for selected international defence companies.

Company history

The history of OBRUM spans over 50 years, starting from the Experimental Production Plant at the then Zakłady Mechaniczne „Łabędy” (from 1968), to Research and Development Centre for Mechanical Equipment OBRUM (from 1976). From 1986 OBRUM was operating as a fully independent state organisational unit with legal personality, acting under the provisions of the Act on Research and Development Units – under supervision of the Minister of Economy. On 1 April 2008, OBRUM was transformed into a commercial law company and carries out business activities under the name: Research and Development Centre for Mechanical Equipment OBRUM Ltd.

Under the Agreement, the State Treasury contributed OBRUM shares to the increased share capital of "BUMAR" and on 30 December 2009, OBRUM was incorporated into BUMAR Group (currently Polski Holding Obronny) as a subsidiary company.

Currently, ownership supervision over OBRUM is exercised by Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa S.A. (Polish Armaments Group) as the parent company in Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa S.A. (Polish Armaments Group), which owns 71.82% of OBRUM shares.

Code of Ethics

OBRUM has a Code of Ethics for Employees, which aims to set the right direction for the development of the organisational culture in the Centre, both in relations between employees and in external relations with the Company's Stakeholders.

Consistent compliance with ethical principles and values is a fundamental source of the Company's success, enabling it, on the one hand, to build a positive image of the Company in the market, and on the other to strengthen the identification of Employees with the Company, thanks to which the effectiveness of their work increases.

The Code of Ethics for OBRUM Employees is one of the elements ensuring continuous improvement of the Company's operations quality. The Code includes the main principles and standards of conduct of OBRUM Employees in the field of widely understood professional and social ethics, ensuring the accomplishment of the Company's mission and the implementation of its development strategy and customer satisfaction.

The Code was developed based on generally accepted rules of social coexistence, the observance of which is one of the basic obligations of an Employee in accordance with Article 100 § 2 (6) of the Act of 26 June 1974 – The Labour Code (consolidated text Journal of Laws of 2014, item 1502, as amended). The Company is guided by the principle of respect for the dignity of every human being and their personal rights, thus declaring respect for nationality, race, religion, gender and political orientation of its Employees, Associates, Customers and Contractors.

Social Responsibility of Business

OBRUM, in its activities, takes into account social interests, environmental aspects, respect for human rights, fair operating practices, and cares for relations with various stakeholder groups, in particular with employees. That is manifested by investing in environmental protection, human resources, as well as in relations with the company's surroundings, including the local community. These activities increase the competitiveness of the company and shape the conditions for sustainable social and economic development.
