As Poland continues to expand its defence manufacturing and modernisation programmes, supply chain resilience and component reliability have become critical strategic priorities. Anocote Polska, operating in partnership with the Koelner Rawlplug IP Group’s Łańcut industrial campus, provides advanced, certified corrosion protection solutions that combine local responsiveness with the proven technical expertise of the Anochrome Group - helping defence manufacturers strengthen both performance and sustainability in equal measure.
Local capability for a strategic industry
Poland’s defence sector has experienced unprecedented investment in recent years, driven by the need for modernised equipment, expanded domestic production, and alignment with NATO supply standards. Yet, ensuring that components meet stringent environmental, mechanical, and durability criteria requires more than raw production capacity - it demands local, technically verified finishing capability.
By situating its operations within the Koellner Group’s Łańcut industrial ecosystem, Anocote Polska offers immediate access to coating technologies and quality systems trusted by Europe’s leading manufacturers. This proximity to key forging and fastener production facilities shortens the defence supply chain, improves traceability, and allows rapid response to specification changes or urgent project requirements.
Typical components that could benefit from Anocote Polska’s coatings include armoured vehicle fasteners, radar mast assemblies, turret bearings, and structural brackets for military transport platforms - parts where reliability and corrosion resistance are critical.
PFAS-free and low-carbon coating systems
Anocote Polska’s PFAS-free, low-VOC, water-based zinc flake coatings deliver the high-performance corrosion resistance required for critical defence applications—without the environmental drawbacks of older chemical systems. These coatings meet or exceed established military and industrial corrosion standards while supporting ESG and sustainability mandates increasingly built into procurement frameworks.
In addition, low-temperature curing alternatives provide significant energy savings and lower carbon emissions, aligning with both national decarbonisation goals and NATO’s broader sustainability strategy. The result is a new generation of defence-grade coatings that enhance protection and operational readiness while helping manufacturers meet their environmental responsibilities.
“Poland’s defence industry is entering a new era of capability, and local supply is fundamental to that success,” says Pawel Jagustyn, European Divisional Director, Anochrome Group. “Our PFAS-free, low-carbon coating systems allow manufacturers to maintain world-class performance while building a cleaner, more sustainable defence supply chain that meets the quality and environmental expectations of modern armed forces.”
Certified quality and traceability
The company operates under recognised Quality Management Systems (ISO 9001, ISO 14001), ensuring consistent production quality, full batch traceability, and alignment with defence procurement documentation requirements. This certification framework, combined with proximity to manufacturing partners within the Koellner campus, ensures that components such as turret mounts, reinforced chassis fasteners, and radar platform assemblies can benefit from coating, inspection, and delivery efficiency - reducing lead times and administrative burden.
Anocote Polska’s commitment to continuous process improvement also extends to digital traceability—providing customers with documented assurance of coating batch performance and environmental compliance, an increasingly important factor in defence tenders.
Sustainability as a strategic asset
Anocote Polska’s sustainability initiatives extend well beyond coatings chemistry. From energy-efficient curing processes and water-based cleaning systems to ongoing investment in carbon measurement and reduction, the company is committed to building a greener, more resilient defence supply chain. By supporting Poland’s drive toward technological independence and environmental responsibility, Anocote Polska aligns its services with the long-term strategic goals of both government and industry.
“Defence programmes today must balance capability with conscience,” adds Pawel Jagustyn. “Our technologies allow Poland’s defence manufacturers to achieve both - protecting the integrity of components while reducing environmental impact, all within a secure and traceable local framework.”
Anocote Polska welcomes collaboration with defence OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, and integrators seeking sustainable, compliant, and locally delivered corrosion protection solutions. The company provides consultation, prototype coating support, and on-site audits to help partners strengthen Poland’s sovereign defence capability through advanced, low-impact surface technologies.
