Companies such as Polbruk, which were established in the early 1990s and continue to operate successfully today, form the backbone of Polish business. – For a quarter of a century, our company has been supplying top-quality materials for road and surface construction, enabling us to create and improve urban spaces and private properties. We are also part of history – over 25 years of operation, Polbruk has transformed from a paver manufacturer not only into a symbol of the industry, but has also become the national leader in premium products,” explains Mariusz Ferenc, Chairman of the Management Board of Polbruk S.A.
Paved success
Since its inception, the company has been growing steadily. Every year, it increases both production and sales.
– We are delighted with the record results we have achieved this year, all the more so as we are celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Polbruk brand. The highest sales in history amount to 14.5 million square metres of pavers, whilst the proportion of premium products has exceeded 30%. This is the result of the hard work and commitment of all our employees,” explains Piotr Gmyrek, Member of the Management Board and Commercial Director of Polbruk S.A.
The company’s strong performance is confirmed by the findings of an independent research agency, Millward Brown. According to the agency, Polbruk is the TOP OF MIND brand that best meets customer expectations, has the most satisfied users and is the brand most frequently recommended to others among all those available on the market.
Exceptional projects
Countless projects have been completed using Polbruk products. In the Tri-City alone, where the company is based (Gdańsk), projects have included: the paving at Gdańsk Wrzeszcz railway station, Kościuszko Square in Gdynia, the Monument to the Defenders of the Coast at Westerplatte, and the paving around the swimming pool at Gdańsk University of Technology and the university’s Nanotechnology Centre. Among the completed projects, it is worth mentioning, for example, the Town Square in Boguchwała, the Lea 251 apartment complex in Kraków, Piotrkowska Street in Łódź with its famous cast-iron plaques bearing residents’ names, and the pedestrian zone surrounding the Tauron Arena Stadium in Kraków.
This diversity of projects demonstrates the versatility of pavers as a finishing material, capable of complementing any type of building. This is further confirmed by the company’s extensive product range. Polbruk’s portfolio currently includes over 400 products: industrial and premium pavers in a wide variety of shapes, colours and sizes, as well as low walls, kerbs, palisades and large-format concrete slabs.
Development and plans
For 25 years, Polbruk has been setting itself increasingly ambitious challenges and achieving them. One of these is the creation of the innovative Lumia Polbruk paver, a design that takes on a magical aura after dark. This spectacular effect is down to the aggregate containing phosphors used in the product’s manufacture. As a result, the pavers glow in the dark. – The history of our company’s development sets out clear goals for the future. We will consolidate our leading position and work towards even greater brand recognition. Our aim is not to follow the market, but to shape it; therefore, we will continue our policy of development and innovation, thanks to which Polbruk S.A. will continue to grow,” adds Mariusz Ferenc, Chairman of the Management Board of Polbruk S.A.
