Lubawa S.A.

Lubawa S.A. sells body armour to soldiers and advertising parasols to fast food chains. That is the real shape of the group, and it is deliberate. The Ostrow Wielkopolski company has been making coated fabrics and protective equipment since 1951, joined the Warsaw Stock Exchange in 1996, and today heads a four-company holding in which Miranda weaves the technical fabrics, Effect-System prints them at large format, Litex Promo turns them into outdoor advertising, and Lubawa itself converts the same material science into armour, camouflage and shelter for uniformed services. Consolidated sales across the first three quarters of 2025 reached roughly 415 million zloty, about 16 percent up on the year before, with the fabric and advertising media businesses carrying much of the base and defence orders supplying the growth.

Individual protection is the flagship line. It covers bulletproof vests, plate carriers including the GRYF model ordered by the Polish Ministry of National Defence, ballistic helmets, plates and shields, load-bearing equipment, backpacks, special and protective clothing, and rescue vests and masks. Signature management and decoys rests on Berberys, the multispectral mobile camouflage developed with Miranda that suppresses visible, near-infrared, thermal and radar signature on vehicles such as the Rosomak wheeled carrier and on fixed installations, and which Finland has fielded as well. Tents, hangars and tent bases run from frame and pneumatic tents through shelters to the flooring underneath them. EOD and demining equipment adds lightweight bomb disposal suits for sappers, mine-clearance vests, pyrotechnic shields and field clearance sets. Equipment for vehicles is a narrower family built around lightweight RPG net screen systems.

The health, safety and environment catalogue is where the civil side shows. Decontamination systems, flood protection barriers, floating equipment, jump cushions, liquid tanks and water rescue gear go to fire brigades and civil protection agencies rather than to armies. Epidemic countermeasures were added during the coronavirus years and stayed. A CE-certified range of individual protection for civilian users sits beside the military catalogue, and technical textiles are sold on their own as a product. Services fill the remaining capacity with press and autoclave vulcanisation, cutting, water jet carving, sewing and PVC welding. The group lists more than five hundred separate items across its military and civil catalogues, from decontamination cabins through water tanks to RPG protection nets, and holds NATO stock numbers on the defence lines. Miranda describes its camouflage meshes in unusually plain terms, as products that work by misinformation, simulation and hiding to stop military facilities being detected and identified. Recent defence work includes a Polish Armament Agency vest order worth around 200 million zloty gross and deliveries of helmets and vests to Ukraine's Ministry of Internal Affairs. Lubawa stays a mid-sized manufacturer by European measure, and its long service to Polish police, border guard and special forces explains its position better than its revenue does.
