sia Biuro Technologiczne Sp. z o.o., company was established as a natural consequence of the increasing involvement of sia Abrasives Holding AG with their business in Poland.
Since its beginnings the company has been oriented towards growth as part of the global development strategy of the sia Abrasives. The Polish representative has always been implementing the basic aim of the company : recognition of the market, creation and support for innovation in the field of sanding systems and technology, complex supply of highest-quality abrasives, training and professional advice in respect of technology, tools, materials for processing of wood and metal.
In the second stage of development, an abrasives converting plant was created. A dozen of people who formed the hard core of the production team underwent intensive training in the training centre in Switzerland and were delegated to production practice in the sia Abrasives facilities. The converting line installed in Poland was created with a view to satisfying the demand of the dynamically growing furniture and metal industry in Poland.
During that time, the company has settled in the Polish market, creating a good start for a nation-wide distribution and advise network, and organising or participating in a number of training ventures. Among other things, several hundred furniture and metal industry specialists were offered the possibility to undergo a complete training course in the unique European training centre in Frauenfeld, Switzerland.
The foundations of the third development stage were laid in 1999, when the company acquired a real estate. Near Szczecin and the Berlin-Szczecin motorway, a building was renovated, which now holds the headquarters of the company and the production facility. As a whole, the third stage of the company's development comprises consolidation of the company's position in the Polish market and expansion towards the Eastern European markets. To this end, a spacious training centre equipped with modern sanding machines was designed. The centre is finished now. Simultaneously, preparations are under way to expand the production plant by a new shop containing a modern continuous line. In this way, the production possibilities of the company will be tripled. Location near the border and an important transportation route will facilitate the implementation of the next stage - creation of a distribution and production centre, to provide supplies for other countries.
