Zamet-Głowno

What Zamet-Głowno does

Zamet-Głowno is a Polish specialty manufacturer of custom transport-logistics equipment, founded in 2002 and headquartered in Głowno, Łódzkie. The company designs, produces, and delivers containers, trailers, platforms, specialized vehicle bodies, self-loading sets, and welded steel constructions, with a primary focus on military and emergency-services end markets. Its customer base centers on Polish government buyers including the Ministry of National Defense, Land Forces Command, Navy, and State Fire Service, with documented outreach to international customers such as the Ukrainian State Emergency Service.

The company's underlying technology stack centers on heavy custom metal fabrication: specialized welding of black steel, stainless steel, and aluminum; vacuum-bonded sandwich panel production (polyester laminate facing with XPS core, up to 6m x 3m); and an in-house container testing station equipped with a 16-ton overhead crane capable of validating containers per PN-ISO 668 / PN-ISO 1496-1 standards including stacking, lifting, strength, and water tightness tests. Quality management is governed by ISO 9001 and AQAP (NATO Allied Quality Assurance Publications) certifications, the latter being a hard prerequisite for supplying NATO-aligned defense procurement.

Zamet-Głowno operates a project-based B2B revenue model with custom quote-based pricing and no public price list. Products are manufactured to client specifications under multi-year contracts, with direct engagement to government and military buyers via field sales and industry events (notably CNBOP-hosted fire protection meetings). The company also generates ancillary revenue from container testing services, repair and finishing work, shot blasting, painting, and sandwich panel production. With over 100 employees and over 2,500 projects completed since founding, it positions itself as an established mid-sized domestic supplier with documented geographic reach across Poland, broader Europe, and the Middle East. The legal entity is a Sp. z o.o., Sp. k. (limited partnership with limited liability company), and the company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors or public listing.

• WISS (Wytwórnia Wyrobów i Specjalistycznych): Polish manufacturer of special-purpose bodies and containers for defense, rail, and utility markets. Comparable in container/specialty body manufacturing for industrial and military customers in the Polish market.
