Over the past 5 years "Celier Aviation" having been building the successful Xenon gyrocopter at their Jaktorów-Kolonia factory ( just south west of Warsaw, Poland ). By the end of 2011 approximately 140 examples had been built and delivered to customers all over the World.
The company was owned by the Xenon designer Raphael Celier and his business partner Artur Trendak.
In December 2011 a statement on the "Celier Aviation" website made mention of a major re-structuring at the company. A brief message from Mr Celier suggests that he is currently in Russia ( I understand he is part of French Aviation Technologies ( F.A.T ) which is in Moscow, Russia ).
At the same time a new company and a new website has appeared relating to "Autogyro.eu" - this appears to be managed by Artur Trendak and offers Xenon gyrocopters - the company is also located at Jaktorów-Kolonia.
The new Autogyro.eu website can be found on the link below

UPDATE - on the 3rd January 2012 I received a copy of a press release from Raphael Celier confirming the separation of the business between the two partners. Raphael Celier confirms his intention to build Xenon gyrocopters at a near location near the centre of Warsaw, Poland.
So at this moment ( 3.1.12 ) it appears that there are two separate companies both offering to build new Xenon autogyros in Poland.
In addition I wonder what will happen to the KISS gyrocopter that was under development.
