What TBI Technology does
TBI Technology Sp. z o.o. is a privately held Polish CNC machine tool distributor and service provider headquartered in Racibórz (ul. Bosacka 52) with an additional Center of Excellence (CoE) facility in Będzin used for training and demonstrations. The company sells proprietary TBI-branded CNC machine series covering milling (MVC, VC, VC Smart Mill, SDV-H), turning (VT, VTY, TC 300/400/500), boring, and the i-42 automatic lathe, alongside exclusive Central European distribution of ERMAFA AUERBACH (Germany) deep drilling machines, TORNI TACCHI (Italy) heavy-duty lathes, and PORĘBA (Poland) extra-heavy lathes. Machines are equipped with Heidenhain, Siemens SINUMERIK, and Fanuc control systems, and the company layers on a real-time production monitoring tool and a TBI Connect remote-service offering aimed at Industry 4.0 environments.
The business operates across four revenue streams: one-time hardware sales of machines and spare parts (with a 10-year spare parts availability guarantee in Poland), professional services including warranty/post-warranty service and the Akademia CNC Heidenhain training program, managed IT/automation services (remote monitoring, CAD/CAM integration, production automation), and financing/leasing advisory that leverages EU co-funding under the Regional Operational Programme of the Silesian Voivodeship 2014-2020. The go-to-market is direct B2B sales-led with multilingual coverage (Polish, English, German, Czech websites), supported by a consultation-based inquiry channel, regional trade shows such as STOM-TOOL and Przemysłowa Wiosna 2025, case-study content, and free workshops at the Będzin CoE.
Target customers are heavy-industrial manufacturers in shipbuilding, oil and gas, metallurgy, defense, energy, aerospace, and general metalworking — sectors requiring large, heavy, or specialty CNC workpieces — as well as precision CNC production shops needing turning-milling flexibility. Named implementations include KORMET Cezary Sibiński (metalworking) and E-Towers Famaba S.A. (tower manufacturing). The related-company TBI Tools (tbitools.pl) supplies consumables, tooling, and accessories, while DomGos is positioned as a recommended subcontracting partner for welding and large-component fabrication, extending the company's footprint across the CNC value chain.
