What FAMAK S.A. does

FAMAK S.A. is a Polish industrial machinery manufacturer headquartered in Kluczbork, Opole Voivodeship, specializing in bulk material handling and transshipment systems. The company designs, manufactures, assembles, and commissions complete transport, loading and unloading, conveying, stacking, and reclaiming systems for power plants, surface mines, ports, and chemical plants, and produces individual machines such as wagon tipplers, wheel scrapers, portal loaders, gantry cranes, and the ŁZKS 1000.50 loader-stacker — the largest of its kind in Poland. Its equipment integrates modern electronics, control systems, and electric drives, and its operations are backed by an in-house design office, an integrated management system (ISO 9001/14001/45001), and certifications including EN 1090-1, EN 1090-2, EN ISO 3834-2, DNV offshore welding, and UDT/TDT authorizations.

The company operates a project-based B2B enterprise sales model, selling turnkey systems through tenders, direct sales, and consortiums with partners such as FAMUR SA and Zamet Industry SA, with dedicated export sales teams supporting English and German. Revenue is generated from one-time equipment sales (large turnkey projects plus standardized products like KP waste containers and hook-lift devices), aftermarket spare parts, and professional services including design engineering, laser cutting, laser tracker measurements, quality control, and municipal vehicle repair. The customer base is concentrated in Polish power generation (PGE, Enea, Tauron, EDF, ENERGA) and chemicals (Grupa Azoty), with international project references in the Netherlands (EMO Rotterdam), Slovakia, Mozambique (Vale), and Turkey.

FAMAK was founded in 1949 and was acquired by FAMUR SA in November 2014. TDJ EQUITY I became the dominant shareholder in February 2020, and in November 2022 ownership transferred to the Zagórski family, which currently controls the company through President Leszek Zagórski and Vice Presidents Paweł Majcherkiewicz, Robert Zagórski, and Kamil Zagórski. The entity is registered as a Polish joint-stock company (S.A.) with registered capital of PLN 52,757,196.80, KRS 0000076547, and operates a branch in Zgorzelec focused on open-pit mining.
