What Galmet does

Galmet is a privately held Polish family manufacturer of heating and hot-water equipment, founded in 1982 by Stanisław Galara in Głubczyce, Poland, where it still operates a 30,000 m² production complex with roughly 550-600 specialists. The company builds a vertically integrated product portfolio in its own facilities, including R290 inverter air-to-water heat pumps (Airmax³, 2-15 kW, COP 5.2, A+++), ground-source heat pumps (Maxima series, the first Polish EHPA-Q-certified unit), DHW and buffer tanks (Tower Biwal Slim, Tower Grand), flat-plate solar collectors, pellet and electric boilers (Genesis Plus, Electra GT), and the Zephyr ventilation line with up to 95% heat recovery. Proprietary technology platforms include the EXTRA GLASS® ceramic enamel coating, DIELECTRIC PROTECTION® tank connections, and pre-configured Gbox/Onebox hydraulic modules that integrate with Sinum smart-home controls.

Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales of heating products and spare parts via a channel ecosystem that combines certified/licensed installers, authorized distributors, regional field-based Technical Advisors, and an online parts store, with a complementary contract manufacturing service line (metal processing, laser cutting, robotic welding, powder coating). Pricing is unit-based with downloadable price lists; custom and commercial configurations are quoted. Approximately 20% of output is exported, primarily to Western Europe and Scandinavia as of 2022.

Customers span single-family homeowners (the primary segment, served through government subsidy programs Czyste Powietrze, Moje Ciepło, and Moje Prąd), multi-family buildings and housing cooperatives, commercial and public facilities, educational buildings (Hybrid Ventilation System for Schools), and small industrial sites using pellet boilers (10-34 kW). The business is bootstrapped and family-owned, with no external funding rounds, M&A activity, or public-market listing, and has grown organically over more than four decades to claim the position of the largest heating-equipment manufacturer in Poland with a cumulative 1,000,000 installations.
