The Hanwha Aerospace - WB Electronics 51:49 joint venture Hanwha WB Advanced System (HWBAS) broke ground for its missile production plant in Gorzów Wielkopolski, western Poland, on 4 November 2026, Hanwha and WB Group announced later the same day. The plant will produce guided missiles, including the Chunmoo Guided Rocket-080 (CGR-080), for Homar-K (K239 Chunmoo) multiple rocket launchers (MRLs), WB Group said on its website.

Initial production of batches for testing and military trials is expected to begin in late 2029. A WB Group spokesperson told Janes on 9 November, “Series production under the multi-year contracts signed in December 2025 is planned to start around the turn of 2029/2030 [with a] production capacity of several thousand missiles per year.”

Asked what missiles other than CGR-080 the facility could produce, he responded, “It is too early to provide specific details, but the production of other missile types is also planned. At this stage, the initial order from the Polish Armed Forces covers the CGR-080 missile.”

European market

Responding to Janes' question of whether it could also supply other Chunmoo users, he answered, “Yes. The Polish facility will be able to supply missiles to Chunmoo users worldwide, with a particular focus on the European market.”
