Expanded Capacity in Poland – with Quality and Flexibility

The Polish production has now moved to larger, newly fitted facilities to further strengthen Engskov’s position as a trusted subcontractor for industrial companies with high demands on quality, efficiency and delivery times.

Our subsidiary, J&J Steel Poland, specialises in high-quality welding of large and labour-intensive steel structures in carbon steel, stainless steel and aluminum. The factory is equipped to handle components weighing up to five tonnes.

A significant share of Engskov Machine Factory’s total welding hours is carried out here, while machining, assembly and other processes take place at Engskov in Ringsted and with long-term, certified partners.

High-quality structural welding

“It is crucial for us that the Polish production delivers quality at the same level as in Denmark – and that we have full control of the processes,” says Jes Gravesen, CEO of Engskov Machine Factory, and continues:

“In my experience, Polish welders are both highly skilled and hardworking. And with Polish management, we have from the very beginning in 2007 created a production setup where responsibility, quality and efficiency go hand in hand.”

The factory in Olsztyn operates under Factory Production Control (FPC) and holds certificates issued by TÜV Rheinland in EN 1090-1, 1090-2, 1090-3 and ISO 3834-3. Selected employees are also certified visual inspectors (VT2) as well as Penetrant testing (PT) and Magnetic Particle Testing (MT). The welding coordinators are certified International Welding Specialists.

New, larger and improved production facilities

Since its modest beginnings in 2007, the Polish production has grown steadily year by year – and has therefore outgrown its facilities several times. Today, the team in Olsztyn consists of 36 employees, and following the relocation to new and larger premises, there is room for further growth in the coming years.

“After the latest relocation, we now have 1,800 square metres of storage space and nearly 3,000 square metres of production area under one roof with 26 welding stations. In addition, we have modern cranes, efficient extraction systems and improved staff facilities – all with a strong focus on working environment, ergonomics and productivity,” explains Mariusz Kocak.

Mariusz has been part of the Polish production since its start in 2007, when he joined J&J Steel as a welder. Since 2013, he has been responsible for daily operations as Production Manager.

“In the new factory, we have also established better facilities for changing rooms, showers and canteen. These things matter a lot to skilled employees. But it also means a great deal that Engskov is investing long term in the factory here in Olsztyn. It creates a sense of security and motivation,” he says.

An integrated part of Engskov’s deliveries

“We work very closely with our colleagues in Ringsted and plan production on a week-by-week basis. We know each other well and can react quickly if changes or new tasks arise,” says Mariusz, supported by Sales Manager/CSO Mark Sørensen:

“For our customers, having capacity in both Denmark and Poland means they get one integrated partner with shorter lead times, high delivery reliability and full transparency in quality – even in complex and time-critical projects.”

“Our strength lies in offering customers an attractive combination of quality, flexibility and cost optimisation. At the same time, we continuously invest in modern facilities and good working conditions. We want to ensure that we remain an attractive workplace for skilled professionals in both Ringsted and Olsztyn – now and in the future,” Jes Gravesen adds.
