Leonardo, the Italian aerospace and defense company that owns PZL Świdnik, has reported a growth trajectory with expected revenues of €1.7 billion in 2025. In a recent presentation, the company's CEO Roberto Cingolani and CFO Giuseppe Aurilio revealed that Leonardo's revenues have increased by over 10%. The company's performance has positioned it as the 13th largest defense company globally and the 3rd largest in Europe, according to the Defense News portal, surpassing notable contenders like BAE Systems and Thales.

The PZL Świdnik facility in Poland plays a crucial role in Leonardo's operations, producing AW149 helicopters for the Polish Army, which has ordered 32 units for over 8 billion PLN. These helicopters are part of a larger strategy to enhance the capabilities of the Polish military, with deliveries scheduled to be completed by 2029. This contract reflects Leonardo's commitment to strengthening its presence in the regional market and supporting local defense initiatives.

Leonardo's significant growth in revenue and its prominent position in the defense sector are indicative of a broader trend towards increased military spending and modernization among European nations. As geopolitical tensions rise, companies like Leonardo are likely to play a vital role in addressing defense needs, further solidifying their market position and workforce capabilities in the coming years.
