History

We have been developing for you since 1908

When Professor Czesław Witoszyński founded the company in 1908 and designed the first Polish pumps in 1910, he probably did not expect that he had sown a seed that would produce fruitful crops for over 100 years.

Szczepan Łazarkiewicz, as co-author of the book "Pumy wirowe" published in 1959 and translated into several languages, probably already knew that, as the main designer of the factory, he participated in projects of great importance for the national and world economy.

Currently, even though we have 100 years of experience behind us, we still see new challenges that we take up. Customer requirements constantly inspire our designers. In this way, we participate together in the further development of pump technology.
