What Fawag Sa Lubelskie Fabryki Wag does

Fawag Sa Lubelskie Fabryki Wag (legal name: Lubelskie Fabryki Wag FAWAG S.A.) is a Polish manufacturer of electronic weighing equipment and fiscal devices headquartered in Lublin, with continuous operations tracing back to the W. Hess Scale Factory founded in 1879 and reconstituted under its current name in 1951. The company designs and produces shop scales (e.g., FAWAG WS-1, DS-2), industrial scales in the WIN series (platform, pallet, low-profile, queue, hanging, foundation-mounted for meat processing, with painted WIN-M and stainless-steel WIN-N variants), tensometric load cells and indicators, and a fiscal-device suite (FAWAG Lite, FAWAG Lite Online cash register, FAWAG box fiscal printer) plus a barcode scanner (FAWAGscan). Software products include FAWAG Studio for the SMART control system and the FAWAG CALC mobile application paired with the WS-1 scale.

Revenue is generated predominantly through hardware sales across scales, fiscal devices, and components, supplemented by a professional service department offering calibration, certification, maintenance, and repair. Distribution is conducted through the authorized commercial partner network of its sole shareholder, Posnet Polska S.A., augmented by six regional service centers (Gdańsk, Katowice, Lublin, Łódź, Warszawa, Wrocław) and a direct commercial department for bespoke and enterprise customers. Pricing is published for select units — for example, the WS-1 control scale at 1,199 PLN net and the FAWAG box fiscal printer at 2,099 PLN net, both sold as one-time/perpetual purchases.

Customers span retail (Żabka, Stokrotka, ALDI), food and dairy (MLEKOVITA, SOKOŁÓW, Perła Browary Lubelskie), government and aerospace (PZL Świdnik), and postal services, with a documented 200+ postal-scale delivery to Poczta Polska S.A. in 2021. The company is ISO 9001 (1999) and OIML certified (2006), is registered as a Spółka Akcyjna in the Polish National Court Register (KRS 0000029928), and has been wholly owned by Posnet Polska S.A. since 2014.
