What Firma Bartosz does

Firma Bartosz is a privately-held Polish industrial equipment manufacturer (legal entity BARTOSZ Sp.j. Bujwicki, Sobiech) operating since 1990 from Białystok, specializing in water treatment, water and wastewater pumping, and mechanical ventilation technologies. The company organizes its offering across four divisions: (1) water treatment systems including the proprietary BART-ZF filtration line for iron/manganese removal, coagulation, biological ammonia removal, and activated carbon adsorption serving municipal and industrial clients; (2) water and wastewater pumping systems including pressure boosting units, dry well pumping stations, fire fighting systems, and sewage lifting stations; (3) mechanical ventilation including the VEBAR industrial air handling unit brand, recuperators for heat recovery, and spiral heat exchangers; and (4) industrial automation plus photovoltaic installations. The technology stack is conventional industrial engineering, integrating third-party components such as ABB and Danfoss frequency converters into proprietary pumping and ventilation assemblies, with no disclosed digital or AI capabilities.

The business model is project-based equipment sales combined with recurring warranty service and maintenance contracts. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is sales-led via a direct sales force organized by product line, supplemented by regional sales and service subsidiaries in Cracow and Kielce and an e-commerce store (bartoszsklep.pl) for simpler components. Customer segments split between municipal water utilities and local governments (primary), industrial enterprises including breweries, aviation, logistics, and manufacturing (primary), and individual residential customers (secondary). Revenue is generated through one-time equipment sales (capex procurement) plus professional service contracts covering installations nationwide across Poland. The company has been the beneficiary of six EU funding programs (PHARE 2000/2003, PO IG 6.1, PO IG 5.4, PO KL 8.1.1, RPOWP 1.4.2), supporting export development and innovation, and has established exploratory presence in Congo for international project work.
