Gor-Stal

What Gor-Stal does

Gór-Stal Sp. z o.o. is a privately held Polish manufacturer of sandwich panels and polyisocyanurate (PIR) thermal insulation boards, founded in 2003 by Adam Górski and Franciszek Kluba. The company operates two integrated factories: the original sandwich-panel plant in Gorlice (operational since 2007) and a second termPIR® insulation-board plant in Bochnia opened in November 2015 inside a Special Economic Zone. Core production covers GS insPIRe® PIR sandwich panels (wall S/U, cold-storage CH, and roof D variants, including MAX-core versions with λD = 0.019 W/m*K), GS MW mineral-wool-core sandwich panels for fire and acoustic protection, termPIR® insulation boards for residential and industrial envelopes, plus mounting accessories and over 40 types of in-house sheet-metal flashing.

The technology base rests on a proprietary in-house PIR foam formulation developed by Gór-Stal, continuous polyurethane foam gaskets applied in production for thermal sealing at panel joints, and a compatibility system that allows PIR and MW panels to be combined via matching locks. The company carries an unusually broad certification stack for a mid-sized manufacturer, including NATO AQAP 2110:2016, FM Approvals, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, KEYMARK, ICMQ, BREEAM/LEED compliance, and Scandinavian Sundahus/BVB/Swan certifications.

Commercially, Gór-Stal runs a sales-led B2B model with regional sales representatives across all Polish regions plus direct exports to more than 20 European countries (Poland, Czech Republic, Austria, Romania, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, UK, France, Germany, Estonia, Scandinavia, Slovakia, Hungary, Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia). Pricing is project-based and quote-driven (no published price list), with multi-year contracts and dedicated technical advisory, customer-service, and after-sales departments by product line. The company serves four primary segments — industrial construction, cold storage and refrigeration, agricultural/livestock buildings, and residential insulation — through named enterprise customers such as FAKRO, Media Expert, SEDKOR, WIŚNIOWSKI, KORAL, Wiech, FPHU Cano, MAG-KRAG, and Gmoto, with no single customer appearing to dominate the revenue base. Headcount has grown from 3 in 2003 to over 320 today.
