What Mostostal Zabrze does

Mostostal Zabrze S.A. is a Polish industrial group founded in 1945 and listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (ticker: MST) since 1994, operating across industrial construction, engineering, manufacturing, and assembly with a significant export component. The Group employs nearly 2,000 people across nine wholly-owned subsidiaries and serves enterprise clients in the chemical, petrochemical, metallurgical, power, and environmental protection sectors, as well as public utility construction. Core operations span EPC and general contracting, comprehensive design and engineering services through Biprohut, electrical installations via Elektro, machinery and steel structure manufacturing (including a subsidiary exporting 95%+ of output to Germany, Austria, France, and Czech Republic), and dedicated production sites in Kędzierzyn-Koźle and Częstochowa.

The business model is project-based B2B enterprise contracting with no public price list, as each engagement is bid and customized to client requirements. Revenue is generated through one-time industrial construction project contracts, manufactured steel structure and piping deliveries, professional engineering and design services, and professional electrical installation services. Notable enterprise engagements include a PLN 146.8 million EPC contract for BASF Polska's catalyst plant in Środa Śląska (the largest such plant in Europe at total ~€150 million investment), a framework contract with KGHM Polska Miedź for the Pyrometallurgy modernization at Copper Smelter Głogów I, and a PLN 118 million contract with DBT Technologies for Pulse Jet Fabric Filters at two of the world's largest coal-fired power plants in South Africa. Distribution is direct enterprise sales with no channel intermediaries, supported by active participation in industry conferences (TPOK, Modern Heat, LIT-POL INFRA, Data Center Nation Warsaw) and university-level recruitment at Silesian University of Technology and Wrocław University of Science and Technology.

The Group is governed by President of the Management Board Dariusz Pietyszuk (since September 2017, previously CFO at Famur S.A.), Vice Presidents Witold Grabysz (ex-McKinsey) and Marek Kaczyński (legal counsel), with Krzysztof Jędrzejewski as Chairman of the Supervisory Board. The 2023-2026 Development Strategy, adopted by the Management Board on 31 August 2023, targets the most attractive markets, effective personnel management, and organizational efficiency, continuing the trajectory set in the 2020-2022 plan. The Group is ISO 14001:2015 certified at the Realizacje Przemysłowe subsidiary level, publicly discloses tax strategy (adopted 22 December 2021), and operates with a 14-year average employee tenure reflecting significant institutional knowledge in welding, process equipment, and EPC delivery.
