The Polish government has revealed plans to establish a new printing house dedicated to banknote production on a 17-hectare site in Warsaw. Interior Minister Mariusz Kamiński announced the

strategic investment, emphasizing its significance in ensuring access to Polish currency for future generations.

Currently, Polish Security Printing Works (PWPW), the state entity responsible for printing banknotes, operates from a century-old building in central Warsaw. However, due to conservation restrictions, expansion or development is not possible.

To address this limitation, PWPW has acquired a plot in Warsaw's Tarchomin district, enabling the construction of a new facility. The move will also facilitate the modernization of production equipment, enhancing PWPW's global competitiveness. In addition to banknotes, the plant will print various secure documents, including passports, identity cards, and driving licenses.

PWPW serves both domestic and international clients, having secured contracts with nearly 50 countries in the past two decades. The establishment of the new printing plant marks a significant step towards strengthening Poland's domestic capabilities in currency production and ensuring national security in drug supplies.
