Polish industrial group Seco/Warwick has successfully completed the acquisition of Retech, a US-based supplier of advanced metallurgy and special technology solutions. The deal, partly financed by the Foreign Expansion Fund 2 managed by PFR TFI, strengthens the group’s foothold in the United States, one of the world’s most important technology markets.
The closing ceremony took place at Retech’s headquarters in Buffalo, New York, with representatives from Seco/Warwick, PFR TFI, the Polish Embassy in Washington, the US Congress, and business partners in attendance. Retech, owned by Seco/Warwick since 2007, provides cutting-edge solutions for industries that demand the highest quality and precision: aerospace, defense, energy, medical devices, and space technologies.
Strategic investment supported by Polish funds
The acquisition was co-financed through a $10 million long-term loan from the Foreign Expansion Fund 2, managed by PFR TFI. The proceeds will be used to develop metal powder production technologies, including the construction and installation of Plasma Gas Atomizer furnaces, as well as the expansion and equipping of Retech’s manufacturing and assembly hall.
– This project is an example of how a Polish industrial group can effectively grow in the American market, invest in advanced technologies, and build an international scale of operations. For Seco/Warwick, this is an important step in strengthening our presence in the US and proof that our competences, experience, and ambitions have a real global dimension – said Slawomir Wozniak, CEO of Seco/Warwick Group.
Participants toured Retech’s laboratories and technology facilities, where the company showcased the processes and solutions developed at the American subsidiary.
Awards and long-term growth prospects
Seco/Warwick was honored with the „Investor Without Borders” award, presented on April 22, 2026, during the European Economic Congress in Katowice. The award recognizes the group’s successful international expansion and its contribution to promoting Polish industry abroad.
– This project has strategic importance for Retech. It allows us to increase our technological capabilities, develop our laboratory facilities, and respond even more effectively to the needs of customers in the most demanding industries. Buffalo is an important point on the US industrial map, and Retech, as part of the Seco/Warwick Group, combines American engineering experience with global organizational potential – said Earl Good, managing director of Retech.
– Polish industrial companies are ready for effective expansion into the most competitive markets in the world. Seco/Warwick is an example of an organization that consistently builds a global position based on technology, specialist competences, and a long-term strategy. This investment confirms that Polish capital and Polish technology have real driving force on the international stage – added Piotr Dmuchowski, CEO of PFR TFI.
The United States remains a key market for Seco/Warwick. Development of Retech and the activities of Seco/Warwick USA are central to the group’s global growth strategy, generating technology development, local client service, and long-term relationships with sectors requiring the highest technological standards.
