BELMA is a Polish defence company located in Białe Błota, in the vicinity of Bydgoszcz. It is one of the oldest industrial plants in Poland. Belma's business began in 1868 as a locksmith company. Its primary responsibility today is the production and design of land mines for the Polish Army. BELMA is the only manufacturer of anti-tank mines in Poland. Since 2010, BELMA has been a member of Division Ammunition of the Polish Armaments Group-Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa (PGZ SA). The beginnings of the company date back to 1868, when Carl Fiebrandt established a locksmith's workshop in Bromberg (as Bydgoszcz was called) at then "4 Bahnhoffstraße" (today's 11 Dworcowa Street). Initially, Fiebrandt's workshop dealt with the repair and production of agricultural machinery but expanded in the 1870s to the manufacturing of safety devices for railway traffic. In 1875, the factory moved to the suburban village of Okole (now a district of Bydgoszcz), at today's 30 Grunwaldzka Street. The entity became in 1898 a Limited Liability Company, one of the shareholders being the enterprise "Siemens & Halske".
