Schraner Polska

What Schraner Polska does

Schraner Polska Sp. z o.o. is a privately held Polish precision hot die forging manufacturer founded in 2006 and headquartered in Łęczyca within the Łódź Special Economic Zone. The company produces forgings from steel, aluminum, copper, titanium, and other forgeable alloys, with parts ranging from 10g to approximately 3.5kg and tolerance classes E and F per PN-EN 10243-1, manufactured primarily on Lasco hydraulic hammers supplemented by Amysa, Termetal, MIOS, Mecolpress, Muller-Weingarten, and Hermle equipment. Its core technical differentiation rests on a technology transfer partnership with Swiss firm metallabs AG, providing over 135 years of forging know-how that the company describes as providing precision capabilities unprecedented in Poland. The business operates a project-based custom manufacturing model: customers supply specifications, Schraner designs and manufactures tooling (paid upfront), and delivers raw forgings, precision-opened forgings, or finished components with downstream heat treatment, machining, and galvanic processing. Pricing is quote-based and storage penalties of 5% of gross order value per week apply after 7-day delays.

Schraner serves demanding enterprise customers across multiple verticals — automotive (BMW, KTM, BOS Automotive, Rotax), power tools (Husqvarna), textiles (Picanol, SBS), construction hardware (Dorma, Knott), agricultural machinery (SIPMA), and industrial manufacturing (Allweier, Schweiger) — with operations covering Poland, broader Europe, and North America. The company holds ISO 9001:2015, IATF 16949 (automotive), ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications, is an active member of the Association of Polish Forges (Związek Kuźni Polskich), and participates in European industry conferences such as EUROFORGE. Headcount is reported as 11–50 employees, with annual capacity of approximately 2 million forgings.

The company has secured seven documented EU grant projects between 2011 and 2023 totaling approximately 47 million PLN in project value and roughly 25–26 million PLN in EU/state co-financing, with the largest projects accelerating in 2023. These grants fund R&D programs covering narrow-tolerance forging research, robotic and AI-based forging technology, low-emission processes, and an AI/HMD-VR forging tool manufacturing initiative with military and automotive applications, executed in partnership with AGH University and Wrocław University of Science and Technology. The revenue model is entirely contract-based B2B manufacturing with no public pricing, and the company's revenue is not publicly disclosed; registered share capital is 6,033,800 PLN.

Core offering

Schraner Polska is a precision die forging plant that produces hot die forgings from steel, aluminum, copper, titanium, and other forgeable materials on Lasco hydraulic hammers, with part weights ranging from 10 grams to approximately 3.5 kilograms and dimensional tolerances meeting class E and F of PN-EN 10243-1. The portfolio spans raw forgings, precision-opened forgings, and finished components delivered with optional heat treatment, machining, and galvanic treatment, and is complemented by an in-house tooling department that designs and manufactures forging dies for customers' projects.

Product overview

Schraner Polska is a precision die forging plant offering a three-tier product portfolio: (1) raw hot die forgings from steel, aluminum, copper, titanium alloys and other forgeable materials weighing 10-3500 grams on Lasco hydraulic hammers; (2) precisely opened forgings with narrowed dimensional tolerances; and (3) finished forgings with additional downstream processing (heat treatment, mechanical machining, galvanic treatment). All products serve automotive, power tools, textiles, and other industrial sectors.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Hot Die Forgings (Raw) Raw forgings shaped by hot die forging from steel, aluminum, copper, titanium, and other forgeable materials, produced on Lasco hydraulic hammers with tolerance class E and F per PN-EN 10243-1 and part weights from 10 grams to approximately 3.5 kilograms. Sold to enterprise customers across automotive, power tools, textiles, construction, agricultural, and medical sectors.
• Precision-Opened Forgings Precisely opened forgings with narrowed weight and dimensional tolerances for applications requiring higher precision than raw forgings. Produced using vibratory finishing (Rösler trowalization) for reduced flash, targeting the same industrial customer base.
• Finished Forgings with Additional Processing Ready-to-use forged products with additional processes including heat treatment, mechanical processing, and galvanic treatment. Delivered to enterprise manufacturers as finished components.
• Tooling Design and Manufacturing In-house tooling room services that design and produce forging dies and tools from customer documentation, including rapid regeneration and trial-batch tooling. Tool prices are payable in advance before production commences.

Direct peers

• Scot Forge: US producer of open-die and forged rolled ring components for industrial markets. Comparable as a precision forging specialist serving heavy industrial and OEM customers with engineered forged parts.
• Bharat Forge: One of the world's largest automotive and industrial forgings producers. Directly comparable in serving global automotive OEMs with precision forged components, though at materially larger scale and broader geographic reach.
• Doncasters Group: UK-headquartered precision engineered components manufacturer with significant forging capabilities serving aerospace, industrial gas turbines, and automotive. Comparable in precision forging technology and high-spec end-market exposure.
• Siderforgerossi: Italian precision forging company serving automotive and industrial customers with steel and nonferrous forged components. Comparable in process technology, European OEM customer base, and tier-2/tier-3 component positioning.
• Ellwood Group: US-based manufacturer of custom-engineered forged and cast metal components serving industrial, oil & gas, and defense markets. Comparable in custom, precision, mid-volume forging operations and engineered-to-order business model.
• Hirschvogel: German automotive-focused precision forging specialist serving Tier-1 OEMs across Europe. Highly comparable to Schraner in process (hot/cold forging), customer base (automotive drivetrain/components), and precision tolerance positioning.

Broad incumbents

• ThyssenKrupp: German industrial conglomerate with forged components and automotive supplier operations. Comparable as a European supplier of metal components to automotive and industrial customers, though diversified across many unrelated industrial segments.
• voestalpine AG: Austrian steel and technology group with significant automotive components and precision forging operations. Overlaps with Schraner as an integrated steel-to-forging supplier serving European automotive OEMs, but operates at vastly greater scale and breadth.

Others

• Schuler Group: Global manufacturer of metal forming equipment, including forging presses. Relevant as the supplier ecosystem for the capital equipment underpinning Schraner's production process (alongside Lasco, Amysa, Mecolpress), rather than a direct competitor.

Emerging players

• Leiber Group: German specialist in precision forged components for automotive and industrial applications. Comparable product portfolio and customer base, though at a smaller scale and narrower geographic footprint than Schraner's European customer reach.
