What FCA does
FCA S.A. (operating under the brand "Optyka na biznes") is a Polish fiber optic systems integrator and manufacturer headquartered in Niepołomice, Poland, founded in 1989. The company combines in-house manufacturing at its own fiber optic laboratory (producing proprietary branded products such as HELIOS hybrid patch panels, NODCO connectors, P-PSP patch panel shelves, and an MTP connector termination line) with exclusive distribution of global vendor products (Huber+Suhner, AFL/SkyWrap, Ruijie Networks, Infinera, Extreme Networks, Cambium, Forcepoint, Nozomi Networks, Genexis, SENKO). Its portfolio spans passive fiber optic components (adapters, enclosures, patchcords, pigtails, cable harnesses), active transmission products (optical transceivers, CWDM/DWDM systems, Wi-Fi solutions, SD-WAN), and professional services (network design and general contracting, teletransmission implementation, training, data center audits, logistics and warehousing from a BREEAM-certified 5,000 m² central warehouse in Targowisko).
FCA serves telecommunications operators (Orange Polska, INEA, ATMAN), energy sector clients (Tauron, ENERGA, PERN), academic institutions (AGH, Jagiellonian University), and public sector / national security bodies (National Cyber Security Centers). Its go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales through dedicated account managers, a 24/7 B2B e-commerce platform (e-fca.com.pl), public procurement tenders, and event-driven thought leadership at conferences such as KIKE and FTTH. Revenue is generated across five streams: passive components, active transmission products, integration/implementation services, training and consulting, and EU-funded broadband projects under Poland's KPO and FERC programs.
The company employs over 170 ICT experts and reports an NPS of 81.25 with near-100% on-time delivery supported by a dual quality control system.
