Polish industrial group Seco/Warwick has successfully completed the acquisition of Retech, a US-based supplier of advanced metallurgy and special technologies. The investment strengthens the group’s presence in the American market, one of the most important technology hubs in the world.
The closing event took place at Retech’s headquarters in Buffalo, New York, gathering representatives of Seco/Warwick, PFR TFI, the Polish Embassy in Washington, US Congress officials and business partners. Retech, acquired by Seco/Warwick in 2007, provides cutting-edge solutions for sectors such as aerospace, defense, energy, medical and space industries.
The acquisition was co-financed by the Foreign Expansion Fund 2 managed by PFR TFI. Under the agreement, Retech received a long-term loan of $10 million aimed at developing metal powder production technologies, including the construction and installation of Plasma Gas Atomizer furnaces, as well as expansion of production and assembly halls.
Strategic investment in advanced technologies
– 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, but also proof that our competences, experience and ambitions have a real global dimension. Cooperation with PFR was crucial support in implementing our foreign expansion strategy and further development of Retech – said Sławomir Woźniak, CEO of Seco/Warwick.
During the event, participants toured Retech’s laboratories and technological facilities, where processes and solutions developed by the US subsidiary were presented. The company specializes in metallurgy and special technologies, serving clients that require the highest quality, precision and reliability.
Support from Polish Development Fund
– This project is of strategic importance for Retech. It allows us to increase technological capabilities, develop laboratory facilities and respond more effectively to the needs of clients in the most demanding industries. Buffalo is an important point on the US industrial map, and Retech, as part of Seco/Warwick, combines American engineering experience with the global potential of the organization. Completing this investment is not the end, but the beginning of the next stage of development – emphasized Earl Good, Managing Director of Retech.
– Polish industrial companies are ready for effective expansion in the most competitive markets in the world. Seco/Warwick is an example of an organization that consistently builds a global position based on technology, specialized competences and a long-term strategy. We are pleased to have supported an investment that strengthens both the Group’s position in the United States and the recognition of Polish industry abroad. This investment shows how instruments of the PFR Group create real conditions for long-term expansion of Polish companies in the most demanding markets. It is also confirmation that Polish capital and technology have real power on the international stage – added Piotr Dmuchowski, CEO of PFR TFI.
The United States remain a key market for Seco/Warwick. The group’s American subsidiaries are responsible for technology development, local client service and building relationships with sectors where the highest technological and quality standards matter. Seco/Warwick was awarded the „Investor without Borders” distinction on April 22, 2026, during the European Economic Congress in Katowice.
