Research & Development

By keeping up with the latest technological developments, we identify new opportunities for improving processes and technologies.

For many years we have been cooperating with Lublin University of Technology and Szymon Szymonowic State University in Zamość, carrying out research and development projects. Together we have developed innovative solutions in forging technology, improving both production efficiency and mechanical properties of products.

Two patents in the fields of metal forming and machining were developed as part of the research.

The aim of our research activities is to improve the processes of drop forging, rolling and the optimization of the microstructure of the processed steels, thus obtaining forgings of the highest possible quality and increasing the range of manufactured products.

In order to implement new, innovative technologies, teams of engineers are created, who work together on the process of their implementation. Interdisciplinary teams consisting of various specialists work on modern products that guarantee meeting the requirements and expectations of our customers. This approach leads to the development of our companies and increasingly better production results.
