UMO

What UMO does

UMO Sp. z o.o. is a privately-held Polish defense technology company founded in 1997 and headquartered in Warsaw, with a distribution and logistics center in Zielonka and a wholly-owned subsidiary UMO Ukraine established in 2024. The company supplies military, police, and special forces with a comprehensive portfolio across six product categories: unmanned aerial and ground platforms (BSP), armament, small-caliber ammunition, optoelectronics (night vision and thermal imaging), ballistics (personal protection), and accessories. UMO operates as both a distributor of leading Western defense brands (exclusive Polish distributor for Walther; official FN Herstal distributor for Ukraine; exclusive Teledyne FLIR OEM representative in Poland; representative for THEON Sensors, Beretta, Ohio Ordnance Works, Victrix, Hesco, Trijicon, and Nightforce Optics) and as a developer of proprietary systems, notably the UMO-10-O/13-O Hydra FPV drones with fiber optic communication resistant to electronic warfare, the Bumblebee AD AI-powered counter-UAV interceptor, the UB-60-D loitering munition, and the Protector unmanned ground vehicle.

The company is positioned as the largest European distributor of small-caliber ammunition and serves as the integration layer for over 60 international defense producers at MSPO. Revenue is generated almost entirely through direct B2B hardware sales to government defense and security institutions, with an export-focused orientation. Estimated 2025 net revenue is approximately 1.4 billion PLN for the UMO entity and 2.2 billion PLN at the group level including UMO Ukraine; the company crossed the 1 billion PLN turnover threshold in 2025 and was added to the Polish Ministry of Finance large enterprise registry in 2024. The company is launching a B2B/B2C e-commerce platform (platformaumo.pl) in January 2026 to enter the civilian ammunition market, supported by a new large-scale distribution center in Zielonka and a planned Warsaw showroom.
