What Boryszew does
Boryszew S.A. is a diversified Polish industrial group headquartered in Warsaw and listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE: BRS), operating 29 production facilities across 8 countries on 4 continents with approximately 6,167 employees as of 2025. The company operates through five primary business segments: Automotive (plastic components and rubber hoses for cooling, fuel, and fluid/gas transport via the Maflow Group and Boryszew Automotive Plastics), Metals (the largest non-ferrous metals processor in Poland and Central-Eastern Europe, including aluminum, zinc, lead, and copper processing through NPA Skawina, Hutа Bankowa, and Alchemia), Chemicals (the BORYGO automotive coolant brand and industrial chemistry via Boryszew ERG), Energy (energy storage and renewable integration including the Repono joint venture and BESS projects), and Circular Economy (battery recycling via Baterpol and waste management via ZUO Konin).
The group's underlying technology spans advanced plastics injection molding, rubber compounding and hose extrusion (including one of the world's most automated hose lines per company disclosure), non-ferrous metal processing and casting, chemical synthesis (with granted patents such as the bis(2-ethylhexyl) terephthalate production method), and energy storage system integration. Boryszew NPA Skawina is Poland's sole producer of low-loss overhead conductors used in energy transmission infrastructure.
Boryszew generates revenue primarily through B2B direct sales to automotive OEMs and industrial customers, including Volkswagen Group (a recipient of VW's Global Champion Award), Toyota, and other European automotive manufacturers. Revenue is recognized through hardware sales (automotive components, chemicals, metals products) and managed services (circular economy operations and energy distribution). The 2025 order book reflects a portfolio pivot toward electrified vehicles, with 64.9% of automotive contracts tied to EV/hybrid programs. The group also pursues diversification into defense (combat drone production via cooperation with the Air Force Institute of Technology) and energy storage, supported by financing from Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego (BGK) and equity participation in EIT InnoEnergy.
