Electris – a family business based in Małopolska that knows how to capitalise on market opportunities

Electris – a leading Polish manufacturer and a major supplier of copper components and parts to the world’s largest power companies – has received its second decision granting support under the Polish Investment Zone scheme.

The history of Electris is a story of continuous development, seizing market opportunities and determination in the pursuit of innovation. The company’s origins date back to 2003, when a small production plant served as the foundation for ambitious dreams and future achievements. The company began operations with limited resources, but always with a strong commitment to quality and technological development. Today, Electris is a leading specialist in the manufacture of copper and aluminium components, supplying its products to nearly 70 countries worldwide. The company’s products are used by major power companies, firms in the renewable energy sector, energy storage facilities, telecommunications, railways and many others. This year, the company is celebrating its 20th anniversary. This is all thanks to its ability to respond flexibly to a changing market environment and to effectively capitalise on opportunities for growth.

One of the opportunities seized was an investment for which the company has recently received two funding decisions under the Polish Investment Zone scheme. The first in 2022 and the next in December 2023. The investments are aimed at increasing the company’s production and service capacity. This will be made possible by the expansion and modernisation of the plant’s facilities, the purchase of modern machinery and equipment, as well as investments in advanced IT systems. All these measures will enable the company to expand its product range and adapt it to the ever-increasing demands of its customers. The company will allocate PLN 21 million for this purpose. The plan is to be implemented over a period of four years – until the end of 2027. Electris’ investment projects will also lead to an increase in employment in the region.

Investment has been part of our company’s DNA right from the very start. Over the last 20 years, thanks to the implementation of new technologies and the expansion of our service portfolio, Electris has undergone a complete transformation. Our aim is to continue growing at a rapid pace.

 

Dynamic changes in the energy sector are generating growing demand for our copper components, which is very encouraging. However, our customers expect not only high-quality products from us, but also flexibility, fast deliveries, support for current and planned projects, as well as sustainable development and environmental responsibility. To meet these expectations – investment is essential!

 

Our collaboration with the Kraków Technology Park and the support we receive through the PSI programme open up a wide range of opportunities for us. I am convinced that all the planned activities will help us to better prepare for the challenges of the future. As we grow, we are increasing our production capacity, and as a result, our offering is becoming even more competitive,” concludes Łukasz Hajdyła, CEO of Electris.

 

For several years now, the company has also been gradually implementing a range of environmentally friendly solutions and initiatives designed to minimise the environmental impact of its operations. These new investments will help to further reduce the company’s carbon footprint and raise environmental awareness among its employees and the local community.

Electris is also in talks with the Kraków Technology Park regarding the expansion of their cooperation, which goes beyond the scope of the support provided under the Polish Investment Zone. The discussions concern activities with the European Digital Innovation Hub, a support centre for industrial companies wishing to introduce Industry 4.0 solutions into their factories.

Electris did not remain a small production plant as it was at the start of its operations. The company has systematically invested in new technologies and modern equipment, enabling it to meet the challenges of the industry. Taking advantage of the tax relief under the Polish Investment Zone is a strategic move that not only confirms the company’s strength and long-term prospects but also opens up new opportunities for growth. The Polish Investment Zone offers companies the potential for further growth and highly complementary cooperation,” adds Tadeusz Zaremba, CEO of the Krakow Technology Park
