Galvion has leased approximately 3,600 square meters of space at 7R City Park Gdańsk Airport I, which will house not only a production and assembly hall for combat helmets, but also facilities dedicated to maintenance, support, modernization, and training.

We expect that by 2025, demand for our ballistic helmets within NATO and European countries will reach 1.5 million units. Galvion is committed to delivering value to its global partners and programs, with a focus on responsible regional operations. By expanding our operations to the European continent, we will be able to increase our supply capacity and support customers worldwide more quickly. After a long search for the right location, we chose Poland and the Gdańsk area. We look forward to launching our operations in this region and expanding our capabilities in the future. We thank the 7R team for their partnership on this extraordinary project.

says Jonathan Blanshay

Founder and CEO of Galvion

7R City Park Gdańsk Airport I consists of three halls with a total area of 40,500 sq m, equipped with eco-friendly and innovative solutions that are environmentally sustainable and ensure a high level of workplace comfort, as confirmed by a BREEAM certification at the Very Good level. The project features, among other things, a 250 kWp photovoltaic system with expansion potential, top-quality thermal insulation for the walls, and LED lighting to supplement natural daylight. The park is situated in an attractive location—just 800 meters from the S6 highway exit, 13 km from the center of Gdańsk, 4 km from Lech Wałęsa Airport, and 25 km from the port in Gdynia.

7R specializes in building high-quality warehouses as well as production facilities tailored to the needs and specific operations of our clients. Poland’s growing importance as a European manufacturing hub has increased demand for modern industrial facilities such as 7R City Park Gdańsk Airport I. This is an example of a perfectly located park—with easy access to the Tri-City and Baltic ports—that combines warehouse and manufacturing functions and also features office space.
