FBD

What FBD does

FBD (F.B.D. Dariusz Górecki, Romana Górecka s.j.) is a Polish family-owned authorized equipment distributor and integrator founded in 2001, headquartered in Chorzów with a regional office in Warsaw. The company designs, supplies, installs, and services complete body and paint shop equipment for automotive collision-repair workshops and industrial paint facilities across Poland, acting as the exclusive Polish representative of Italian manufacturer Saima Meccanica (paint booths, preparation zones, industrial booths, paint mixing rooms), US manufacturer Blackhawk (KOREK and POSTLIFT 10 body repair frames, SHARK III ultrasonic measurement), German manufacturer FAN (Proton I+ inverter spot welders, Proton MIG 200/220 welding machines), and French manufacturer GYS, alongside complementary brands (Drester, IRT, Rupes, Sata, Riello). Its core technology stack spans paint booth systems with energy-efficient features (heat recuperators, inverter-controlled fans, endothermic drying panels, LED lighting, Smart Saima Saving Energy System), structural body repair frames with integrated scissor lifts, ultrasonic real-time measurement systems measuring up to 12 points simultaneously, and high-current inverter spot welders (up to 12,000 A DC) for modern high-strength steel bodywork.

FBD's revenue model is built on two streams: (1) hardware sales of paint booths, body frames, welding equipment, measurement systems, preparation zones, and consumables (filtration media) sourced from European manufacturers and resold as turnkey solutions; and (2) installation, commissioning, operator training, and ongoing warranty/post-warranty service. Pricing is quote-based (no public list prices), reflecting the custom-configured nature of each project. Distribution is purely domestic via a direct-sales model run out of the technical-commercial department, supplemented by industry trade show presence (TTM Poznań since 2005), industry association membership (Stowarzyszenie Techniki Motoryzacyjnej since 2009), and content marketing through a knowledge base and social channels. The company has delivered hundreds of installations since 2001, with named reference customers in automotive authorized dealer networks (VW, Mercedes-Benz, Opel, Peugeot, Toyota, Tesla via FAN approvals) and industrial sectors (railway vehicles), and has accumulated multiple product-level awards including the Złoty Medal at Poznań Motor Show and the Queen's Awards for Technological Achievement for the SHARK III system.
