KASSTA for German/Polish artillery cooperation
Article Abstract:
Wegmann of Germany and Huta Stalowa Wola of Poland plan to form a joint venture to produce a "Polonized" version of the PzH-2000 155mm SP gun/howitzers. The joint venture, which will be called KASSTA (Kassel + Stalowa Wola), will be created once Wegmann wins a competition to supply the Polish Army with more than 100 modern NATO-standard 155mm SP systems. Wegmann, which is bidding the PzH-2000, is widely expected to win the contract over VSEL, which is offering the AS-90, and Dubnica of Slovakia, which is offering the ZUZANA-HIMALAYA.
