Rafako (ISIN PLRAFAK00018) is tied to a planned industrial conversion that could create 500 jobs and produce 700 vehicles a year. Polish Deputy Minister of State Assets Konrad Golota described the former Rafako site as a major investment project on October 20, 2026, according to netTG.pl.

Defense production replaces old plans

The figures point to a change in the role of Rafako's former industrial base. Golota said the site is expected to support production of 700 Jelcz vehicles, while another hall is planned for Rosomak and Legwan vehicles and a further facility for the SAN system, according to the October 20, 2026 report.

The investment also carries a workforce angle. The proposed 500 jobs would connect Rafako's engineering and manufacturing skills with Poland's defense industry, giving the site a concrete industrial function beyond its legacy power-equipment activity.

Three steps led to the transition

Chronology provides the clearest view of the project. On April 30, 2026, Jelcz signed a letter of intent linked to RFK; on August 12, 2026, Poland's competition authority issued a positive decision; and in September 2026, Jelcz and RFK signed an agreement setting the financial and business terms of the future transaction, as Nowiny reported on October 15, 2026.

What does the merger mean?

The planned combination of Jelcz and RFK is intended to provide the organizational base for the Raciborz factory. The site covers about 45 hectares and includes five halls, with three projects associated with Poland's state defense group, according to the October 15, 2026 report by Nowiny. The 500-job estimate and 700-vehicle capacity therefore describe an industrial redevelopment rather than a conventional power-sector order.

Next date is June 30, 2027

The merger of Jelcz and RFK is scheduled to take place by June 30, 2027, according to the October 15, 2026 report. The planned production start and workforce build-out remain the key milestones attached to the former Rafako site.

Rafako keeps an industrial identity

Rafako's investor-relations page describes the company through engineering, procurement and construction activities in power generation, oil and gas, and related industrial fields, according to Rafako. The latest project places that industrial identity alongside Poland's defense manufacturing expansion.
