Apator is investing in modern machinery and the automation of its production processes

Apator has received a further grant notification under the Pomeranian Special Economic Zone (PSSE). On 9 July this year, Mirosław Kamiński, Chairman of the PSSE, presented the notification to Maciej Wyczesany, Chairman of the Board of Apator SA. The meeting provided an opportunity to take stock of the cooperation to date and to discuss planned investments, the challenges facing domestic industry and the role of industrial policy in strengthening the competitiveness of Polish manufacturers.

Apator SA has been operating within the PSSE’s Łysomice sub-zone (Ostaszewo near Toruń) since 2012. After more than 60 years of operation in Toruń on Żółkiewskiego Street, Apator embarked on a new phase of development and relocated its production and administrative facilities to the newly constructed production and development plant in Ostaszewo, within the PSSE. This was a significant catalyst for development, enabling the company to modernise and expand its machinery, increase production capacity, and create scope for further investment in innovation and the development of new technologies.

Apator shows no signs of slowing down – the company is continuing the automation process in production, expanding its technological infrastructure and consistently making further investments, thereby strengthening its competitiveness both domestically and on international markets. A delegation from the Pomeranian Special Economic Zone (PSSE), comprising members of the Supervisory Board as well as representatives of the PSSE’s Executive Board and management, was able to see for themselves the company’s production potential.

Under the terms of the new decision, the company has committed to making investments totalling PLN 25.7 million and to increasing its workforce. Apator SA already employs almost 1,100 staff across its sites and is one of the largest employers in the region (the Apator Group as a whole employs almost 2,300 people). The planned investments will enable a further increase in production capacity through the expansion of the modern machinery fleet, which includes, amongst other things, additional automated production lines, lines for surface-mount and through-hole assembly of electronics, and the acquisition of technological tools.

Thanks to consistent investment and a long-term development strategy, the Group is well-prepared to meet further technological and market-related challenges associated with the energy transition.
