FIAB COMPANY

What FIAB COMPANY does

FIAB is a privately held Polish industrial machinery manufacturer (legal form: FIAB Sp. z o.o. Bronisław Koziołkiewicz Sp. k.) founded in 1950 in Sweden and acquired by Polish capital in 2010, currently headquartered in Wrocław, Poland. The company designs and builds high-frequency (HF) welding machines — stationary and mobile systems spanning 1.5 kW to 32 kW of output — that join thermoplastics such as PVC, TPU, PU, silicone, Teflon, and coated fabrics via electromagnetic heating at 27.12 MHz (and 40.68 MHz for automotive applications). Its product portfolio covers compact units (FIAB 360, 360L, 860), flagship mid- and high-power welders (FIAB 960 at 13–22 kW, 1400, 1400L S), specialized energy-efficient lines (FIAB HPS Mini, FIAB HPS Q-Drive), and record-setting large-format machines (FIAB 1900W, FIAB 2060W), supplemented by a consumable electrode line (aluminum, brass, soft, lamella, arc, tunnel, segment, logo) and accessories such as the Keder System 1500 and dual positioning lasers. Core technology is governed by Siemens PLC touch-panel controls with multi-language interfaces, tool-free electrode exchange, an anti-arc FIAB Security System, energy-saving standby, and CE compliance; proprietary know-how is concentrated in an in-house R&D Center (Centrum Badawczo-Rozwojowe) with labs in electromagnetic fields and energy-efficient power supplies.

The customer base spans eight primary industrial verticals: tensile architecture and membrane construction (stadium roofs, airport membranes), tent hall and event structure manufacturing, industrial tanks and environmental structures (biogas membranes, slurry tanks, flood barriers), automotive interior and safety components, tarpaulin and industrial cover production, medical device and sterile packaging, military and defense equipment, and (secondary) maritime applications. The company sells through a direct enterprise sales team (named account managers including Björn Bojara, Łukasz Chrusiński, Johan Walbäck) backed by exclusive regional representatives in France (TransTec.HF), the UK (TTF Ltd), India (Magnum Resources), Switzerland (Elektro Illi AG), the UAE (Al Borj Machinery), Scandinavia/Germany (FIAB Service GmbH, wholly-owned subsidiary in Holzwickede), and the USA/Canada/Caribbean/Latin America (Thermex-Thermatron, Louisville KY).

Revenue mechanics combine one-time capital equipment sales, custom machine design and prototyping through the R&D Center, recurring service contracts and spare-parts revenue (24/7 globally, with service packages offering approximately 20% savings), consumable electrodes, and operator training programs. There is no public pricing — quotes are obtained through the sales team or RFPs via the website ([email protected]). FIAB's most recent disclosed financial signal is the Forbes Diamonds 2018 award in the PLN 5–50 million revenue category for the Lower Silesia province; no post-2018 financials, funding rounds, or external equity investment have been disclosed. Certification scope is limited to CE marking across all products.
