Famur

What Famur does

Famur, operating under the legal entity Grenevia SA (rebranded from FAMUR SA in April 2023), is a Polish industrial equipment manufacturer founded in 1900 with more than 100 years of engineering heritage. The company designs, manufactures, and services two core product families: (i) underground mining equipment — including complete wall systems (mechanized supports, shearer loaders, scraper conveyors, crushers), roadheader systems, and underground transport solutions (overhead railways, belt conveyors, locomotives); and (ii) industrial gearboxes produced for over 40 years, deployed in mining, mineral transport, open-pit operations, and wind turbines. Operations span five owned production facilities across Poland (Katowice, Zabrze, Gorlice, Nowy Sącz), 1,500+ employees, and wholly-owned subsidiaries including FAMUR Mining, FAMUR Gearo, FAMUR Gearo Service, FAMUR Hydraulic Power, FAMUR Glinik, and FAMUR Nowomag.

The company monetizes primarily through one-time B2B industrial equipment sales for the mining segment and a multi-year aftermarket stream anchored by the 24/7/365 Service Center (Centrum Serwisowe), the SIGMA Service Room with VR/smart glasses training, and online monitoring software for real-time diagnostics. Since 2023 Famur has actively repositioned toward green-energy service verticals through the FAMUR Gearo sub-brand, the acquisition of Total Wind PL (turbine component exchange and installation), photovoltaic O&M services, and thermal/mechanical steel processing — moves the company frames as part of its Grenevia transformation narrative.

Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales via specialized sales departments per product category (wall systems, roadheader systems, transport systems, wind energy), with dedicated phone and email channels for each line. The customer base disclosed in the materials is concentrated in heavy industry and energy, with named enterprise customers including EDF and Alstom; service operations extend to Poland and Kazakhstan. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is structured around custom multi-year industrial contracts. The company is publicly listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange and has announced a division plan in 2025, indicating ongoing structural separation of legacy mining and green-energy assets.
