"ZAPAN" was established in 1996 as a small workshop specialising in production of mesh abrasives for manual grinding of joints and gypsum plaster for the freshly developing market of dry mortarless construction based on cardboard-gypsum boards. High quality of products won the recognition of both local and foreign customers.
In 1998, at their own expense, the owners designed and built the first production line which made partly mechanised production possible. This allowed to reach the stage of a reproducible production cycle, which in turn allowed to preserve the high quality and performance.
In 1998, the application for the Protection Certificate for the utility model was submitted to the Patent Office of the Republic of Poland - approval W-108692, W-1088.
Construction of a full technological production line was the next step and that was realised at the turn of years 1999-2000.
Presently, "ZAPAN" has commenced the preparatory stage for implementation of the European Union standards with the objective of obtaining of the ISO 9001-2001 quality certificate.
