What Polnet does

Polnet is a family-owned Polish manufacturer of agricultural and livestock equipment headquartered in Tarnowo Podgórne near Poznań, founded in 1989 as a trading company and subsequently transformed into an integrated producer. The company operates seven divisions spanning grain and feed silos, pig farming equipment, feed mills, poultry systems, ventilation, veterinary medical devices, and contract metal fabrication, with production facilities in Tarnowo Podgórne and Kobylin (Zalesie Wielkie). Its product portfolio covers grain silos from 27 to 10,000 tons, feed silos with a differentiated 350 g/m2 zinc coating, complete pig farm systems (feeding, drinking, climate, maintenance, biosecurity), feed mills from 1 t/h to 8 t/h, poultry feeding/drinking/ventilation/heating, and veterinary equipment including Careray digital radiography and Dispomed dental units, complemented by a proprietary FlexMix automation system for grain and feed process control. Certifications include ISO 9001:2015, ISO 13485, EN 1090, Eurocode 3, and EU MDR compliance.

The business model is primarily project-based one-time equipment sales with a meaningful component of professional services through turnkey complex implementation projects (design, construction, installation, commissioning). GTM combines a regional direct sales force across Poland (PL01-PL03), dedicated export departments for Western Europe (Austria, Belgium) and Eastern markets, channel partnerships in France (Asserva) and Canada (Expo Show Canada), and active participation in European agricultural and veterinary trade fairs (EuroTier, AGROTECH, FERMA, VETEXPO). The veterinary products division operates through a wholly-owned subsidiary (Polnet-wet). Export accounts for approximately 50% of turnover across the EU, Africa, Mexico, Ukraine, and Belarus.

The company is led by Chairman and co-founder Stanisław Szczebelski and operates as a limited partnership (Polnet Sp. z o.o. i Wspólnicy Spółka Komandytowa) with 101-250 employees. Recent activity indicates ongoing product cadence (SFS PE feeder, Tubo Feeder Hox 2025), capacity expansion (new laser December 2025), and continued geographic push into Canada. Pricing is custom project-based rather than publicly disclosed, and the company supports customers in navigating EU agricultural investment subsidies.
