Polish foundry industry goes from strength to strength
On the ranking list of business
tycoons Polish foundry industry
goes from strength to strength.
Top products quality, specialists'
expertise, versatile foundry
capabilities are Poland's foundry
engineering main advantages.
Krakow's Foundry Research
Institute's data show that Poland's
foundry engineering is ranked 16th
in the world and 8th in Europe -
year after year this sector has been
gaining increased importance.
In the European Union Poland
enjoys the 6th position in the
ranking of non-ferrous alloys
castings production. In the ranking
of aluminium alloy castings
production Poland ranks even
higher; its 4th place on the list, just
behind Germany, Italy and Russia
puts Poland among the business
tycoons. - In Poland there are
about 400 foundries which employ
25 thousand people. A vast majority
of casting houses are small and
medium-sized companies; for
several years they have exported
more than 50 percent of "made in
Poland" castings to foreign markets.
The latest figures show that the
export rate has been continually
growing and has reached almost
60 per cent. Polish economy finds
export a great chance. Most of
castings produced in Poland are
used in the business sectors
of automotive, engineering and
construction- says Zbigniew
Ronduda, Foundry Chamber
of Commerce Deputy President and
the President of Board at Odlewnie
Polskie S.A.- Production volumes
have also increased and
accounted to 1,049 million tonnes
in 2013. The 2014's estimated
growth is 5 ÷ 10 percent.
More active and versatile
The industry's another growth area
is the sector of non-ferrous metals
castings, mainly aluminium
products. Poland has also recorded
the increase in high-grade cast iron
production, mainly in ductile cast
iron casts.

- These are the trends Polish foundry
industry should follow. Further development
perspectives for Polish foundry engineering
lie in the so-called processed castings, i.e.
casting components. These are sub-
assemblies ready to use at assembly lines.
Polish casting houses' main advantage is
readiness to a rapid change, adaptation
flexibility; thus they can follow the market's
demands. Many foundries are service
providers; they manufacture small batches
for many different industries. They offer very
short lead-in times. Our industry becomes
more and more versatile - says president
Ronduda.- In the 90's lower price used
to be a competitive advantage for Polish
casting houses in competition with EU-based
manufacturers.20 years later quality is the
greatest asset. No need to discuss it - quality
is already there; if Polish foundries deliver
to the demanding EU markets, they need
to observe world's top standards.
- We more often produce refined-quality
castings for automotive, avionics, home-
appliances, power engineering and wind
generation in particular as well as for the
broadly defined machine industry. - adds
Tadeusz Franaszek, the President of the
Technical Association of Polish Foundrymen,
a member of the Coordination Council for
Polish Foundry.- Export volumes of castings
have been constantly increasing; these are
the most demanding customers which order
the products. This serves as the proof that
Poland's foundry engineering is truly
innovative. We have also gained recognition
as a manufacturers of castings for the
construction and road industry as well
as for municipal infrastructure.
Knowledge and tradition blend - casting
know-how
Many-year tradition is Polish foundry
industry's considerable asset. The casting
houses have been in business for years;
not only are they the asset to accommodate
new, innovative technologies but they also
boast practical and hands-on experience
rubbed down generation to generation.
Management issues also important:
in Poland a casting house is usually run
by a foundryman; not only are the managers
foundry-engineering departments graduates,
but they also possess the necessary
knowledge and practical experience.
Foundry industry know-how and expertise
pave the way to success. - We have never
given up on specialized trainings for foundry
engineers. In Poland there is Europe's only
Foundry Department at the AGH University

Chinese castings manufacturers
- Speaking about Poland's foundry industry's
future prospects we cannot possibly forget about
Chinese castings manufacturers; in the recent
years they have been one of main competitors. In the free market economy however, castings
manufacturers find competition mobilizing.
Nevertheless it is important for the competition to be based on comparable and reliable technical
parameters and cost. Chinese suppliers have not
of Technology in Krakow; thus the industry is
supplied with the adequate number of
engineers. Suitable vocational training is the
result of the University's potentials enhanced
with collaboration with R&D units (including the
Foundry Research Institute in Cracow) - says
prof. Józef S. Suchy, the Dean of the Faculty
of Foundry Engineering at AGH University of
Technology in Krakow, the member of the
Coordination Council for Polish Foundry.- Such
specialists are in great demand with the
foundry engineering. In the recent years the
industry has been a subject to major changes;
this has been aided with the use of European
funds offered within the scope of operational
programs. As the result productivity has
greatly increased; this translates into
enterprises' competitiveness. If you compare
domestic and European foundry production
you will find, that this is two-fold greater than
if you compare the respective GDPs.
This means that this industry's efficiency
is much greater than Poland's national
economy's efficiency in general. This ranks us
among the countries which put foundry
industry on the top list of national economy's
strategic sectors.

observed these rules and thus they used to be a serious competitive threat for Polish and international
foundry industry for quite some time. However, the situation has been changing; many OEMs which use
casting in their products have decided to order in Europe, which means that they have also bought from the
Polish market. I am convinced that there other reasons besides the prices. Still, Chinese casting producers
cannot be ignored. They have been introducing quality assurance systems in foundries, they have been
modernizing machinery stock while offering cheaper raw materials, energy, labour costs. They do not bear
the environment protection associated costs either. On the top of that they are also very active in all areas
of business, they are actively involved in associations - Chinese players position cannot be underplayed.
In more general terms forecasts for Polish foundry's future - I believe that all the Polish casting houses
should invest in innovative technologies and equipment, HR development, cooperation with research and
development institutes. This is the recipe for Polish foundry engineering to be at par with the very active
competition. Competitors have already been going this way.

The bull market
According to the specialists, these will
be good years for investments and
production facilities placement
in Poland; business insiders are also
looking forward to seeing you at 2018
foundry engineering festival in Krakow
and Kielce.
The continuous modernization
tendency observed in the industry provides
excellent prospects for Polish foundry
industry in the coming years. The EU's 2020
horizon financial support will fuel Poland's
casting houses' strive for innovativeness
and technological excellence. The World
Foundry Congress is a unique, global-
scale event; the 2018's Congress is held
in Krakow and accompanied with METAL
Expo in Kielce. Economic development and growth
are expected to continue. In the 2014-2020's
financial perspective the European Union
member-states are to revitalize their
economies; they are supposed to be
innovative and competitive to non-European
economies. - In this perspective the Polish
authorities intend to earmark significant
funds designed to fuel the "smart growth".
Bearing in mind that no modern economy
can do without casts, that virtually all final
products comprise cast-element, foundry
engineering in general and in Poland in
particular are in for the boom. - this is the
forecast offend by the President of the
Technical Association of Polish Foundrymen
Tadeusz Franaszek.
Innovation - on top of priority list - There is a growing demand for complex-
structure castings made of specialised
alloys, tailor-made to designers' increasingly
stringent requirements. This context is a
good herald for Polish foundry engineering -
comments the Dean of the Foundry
Engineering Department of AGH University
of Technology in Krakow. - Wisely used
opportunity accompanied with full utilisation
of Poland's unique scientific infrastructure
and resources may trigger a further
qualitative change in the industry.
The bolder and more innovative investments
and projects in the foundry industry, the
greater the scale of success. It has been
shown that the Polish foundries' main
features are the will for on-going modernisa-
tion and the need for continuous capital
investments. This way leads to innovate
casting production.
- Another tranche of EU money provides
the opportunity to make innovation our
competitive edge, this EU perspective's
funds have been earmarked for research
and development projects. Many casting
houses are about to upgrade their products,
materials, technologies; they will make use
of R & D programmes - says Zbigniew
Ronduda, Foundry Chamber
of Commerce Deputy President and the
President of Board at Odlewnie Polskie
S.A. The Research and Development
Centre for Casting Components was
created in Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship's
city of Starachowice in 2010 by Odlewnie
Polskie [Polish Foundries]. This serves
as a perfect example of innovation-
schemes; the centre has already completed
the three projects approved and supervised
by the National Centre for Research and
Development. It is the only centre
in Poland.The R&D costs account for
3 to 5 percent of Odlewnie Polskie's
revenues - this result is higher than
Europe's average.
Kraków and Kielce 2018 Forecasts
for the Polish industry as well as global-
scale prospects for the years to come
should include the World Foundry
Congress perspective; this will
be held in 2018 in Krakow and enhanced
with the next edition of Kielce's METAL. -This will be a true foundry-engineering
festival; this extremely prestigious event
only confirms Poland's reputation in global
business sector of foundry - says President
Zbigniew Ronduda.- The Congress
provides an excellent opportunity to boast
our knowledge and expertise, technologies
and innovations. Thus the Kielce METAL
expo can become an excellent collabora-
tion platform for foundrymen; a meeting
place for the Western and the East. - I am convinced that EU programs will
generate tangible results then. We can put
on show our cutting-edge foundry industry
enhanced with scientific and educational
facilities of world-class level. This is much
more than taking pride in the engineers'
achievements. It is designed to provide
incentives for enterprises to invest and
establish production facilities in Poland -
argues Professor Suchy. - Not only will
the Congress bring together specialists;
in combination with the International
METAL Expo in Kielce this will also help
to attain the investment objectives through
discussions and business transactions.
Krakow as the host to the Congress is not a
coincidence; Krakow is the home for the AGH
Faculty of Foundry Engineering, the Foundry
Research Institute and the Foundry Chamber
of Commerce as well as numerous casting
houses of outstanding quality. I hope to see the
Congress as the culmination of Polish foundry
engineers' attempts and achievements, this will
also confirm our economy's standing in Europe.

- In each economy sector there are such
events which make one reflect on this
particular business sector's condition
and prospects. The bi-annual world con-
gresses held in various places of the world
and organised by the World Foundry
Organization, exhibitions and international
fairs, including Kielce's METAL, have been
this kind of food-for-thought for foundry
engineering. However, the Düsseldorf GIFA -
the largest trade fair of this kind is of
particular importance for Europe and for the
world. GIFA is the showcase for latest and
most spectacular achievements
of engineers who work in this sector.
Four years ago, at the previous expo edition,
we had the chance to see a whole array of
interesting solutions designed to modernize
the foundry engineering sector. At that time
it was the recovery period after the 2009
deep crisis. This year sees the sector's
dynamic development, we thus expect to see
ample of interesting and ambitious offers. This technology "festival" is owed to the
engineers' creativity; foundry specialists must
demonstrate a true interdisciplinary approach
and universal thinking. You can clearly see
their role for the economy development.

economy. Hence EU has also focussed on
the need to appreciate the engineering-
