Braking for Progress

The traffic sector market is characterised by its dynamism: Rails are particularly suitable for covering the long distances and large freight volumes transported across the “new“ Europe. In Poland, where rail traffic has always played an important role, national as well as private railway companies continue on a growth curve.

As the leading Polish manufacturer of brake shoes for rolling stock we benefit from this development. The success of our position in Poland and Europe owes everything to the high quality of our products, punctual deliveries, competitive prices and our good logistics position. We are sure we can consolidate our market leadership by continuing on this route and adding new products made of cast iron to our portfolio. The Russian market in particular offers interesting growth potential.

We have the trust of our customers. As the country‘s sole producer, we already hold a national certificate that allows us to manufacture all types of brake shoe to customer requirements and specifications. Our collaboration with the Polish national railway company, PKP, led to a change in the Polish standards and the alignment of the brake shoes manufactured for PKP with the European standards.

We have also set a course for the future. Together with EWA Arnstadt and Euro-Metall Budapest, we are embarking on an intensive program of collaboration with scientific and research centres in order to further optimise our products. The environment also receives our special attention. Thanks to extensive investment, our 35-year-old company now complies with EU standards for new foundries.
Our growth is carried by the creativity and openness of our staff. Most of our department heads are young people with tertiary education and many years of work experience. Many of our production staff have already been with us for over twenty years. With their combined know-how and experience, they form a successful team that guarantees our quality and takes responsibility fully in tune with our customers‘ requirements.
