What Spetech does

Spetech (legal entity CSUT SPETECH Sp. z o.o.) is a Polish specialty manufacturer of industrial sealing systems, founded in 1988 and headquartered in Bielsko-Biała. The company designs and produces static gaskets (weld ring, spiral wound, kammprofile/Dryflex, RTJ, lens, double cone, metal diaphragm, SPETOMET FEB), soft-material gaskets (SPETOGRAF graphite, SPETOFLO PTFE, SPETOBAR aramid fibre, SPETOTERM high-temperature ceramic/glass), and dynamic seals (SPETOPAK braided packings, SPETORING butterfly valve seals, SPETOSHIELD anti-splash bands), targeting chemical and petrochemical plants, power generation, oil and gas/hydrogen infrastructure, valve and pump OEMs, and adjacent verticals such as pulp and paper, mining, and food processing.

Revenue is generated through three streams: (1) one-time sale of engineered gasket and seal products, distributed via a dedicated Export Department, technical sales engineers, trade-show presence at ADIPEC, Valve World Expo, and Achema, and a 2025-launched e-commerce storefront for standard lens gaskets; (2) professional services including flange-joint engineering consulting via the proprietary EUROPARTNER calculation software, concept studies, and design analysis; and (3) certified laboratory testing and LDAR (Leak Detection and Repair) programmes, anchored by a TÜV-accredited ISO 17025:2018 laboratory with hazardous-media capability for hydrogen, methane, and helium. Pricing is quote-based with a 180 PLN minimum order value, and the company exports to 100+ countries, holds European Sealing Association membership since 1998, and has received multiple rounds of EU co-funding for hydrogen and methane sealing R&D, internationalisation, and digitalization.
