KACPEREK

What KACPEREK does

KACPEREK (legal name: Mechanika Maszyn Kacperek) is a privately held, family-owned Polish manufacturer of industrial drive technology founded in 1982 by Andrzej Kacperek. The company designs, manufactures, and assembles mechanical power transmission components including MR worm gearboxes, MRP screw actuators, HM/HR/HP cylindrical gearboxes, HS conical gearboxes, planetary and precision planetary gearboxes (XPG), mechanical and hydrostatic variators, and a broad portfolio of electric motors (three-phase, single-phase, brake, explosion-protected, stainless, hygienic, DC, reluctance, fan, maritime). It also distributes automation components (LS and Delta variable frequency drives, servo drives, HMI panels, encoders, controllers) and operates as the Polish representative of Italian manufacturer Hydromec (cylindrical gears, since ~2004) and Italian brand CLEAN-GEARTECH (stainless and hygienic drive products for food and chemical industries, since 2019). Operations run from two Polish sites: a trading office and assembly plant in Warsaw (Wola district) and a design office, manufacturing facility, and warehouses in Łomianki near Warsaw. CNC machining capabilities include turning up to 350mm diameter/1000mm length, milling 800x500x500mm, cylindrical grinding, gear tooth milling up to module 8, and worm wheel milling/grinding, supporting both own-product manufacturing and custom machining services.

KACPEREK serves a horizontal set of industrial customers across manufacturing, food and beverage, and chemical industry verticals. It sells to retail and wholesale customers domestically in Poland and abroad, leveraging direct field sales through three regional supervisors covering all Polish voivodeships, a centralized sales department operating 7:00-15:30, and two physical branch offices where customers can pick up orders. Customer engagement is engineer-led, with qualified engineers providing technical consultation to help solve application-specific technical and construction problems during the sales process.

The business model is primarily one-time hardware sales of manufactured and distributed drive components, supplemented by custom machining services and spare parts supply. The company positions itself as a one-stop shop for drive technology needs with three differentiating dimensions: (1) ability to freely customize products to customer specification including "unusual versions" not available from standard manufacturers; (2) in-house design and quality-controlled assembly; and (3) stock availability of spare parts for all products. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, with sales conducted through direct contact with sales representatives. The company operates a multilingual website (Polish, English, French, German, Ukrainian) and a Facebook page as its primary marketing channels. Revenue is not publicly disclosed and no external funding or institutional investment has been raised; the company remains entirely family-controlled.
