Seco/Warwick, a Polish industrial group, has finalized the acquisition of Retech, a US-based supplier of advanced metallurgy and specialty technology solutions. The investment strengthens the group’s presence in the United States and opens new opportunities in aerospace, defense, energy, medical, and space sectors. The project was co-financed by the Foreign Expansion Fund 2 managed by PFR TFI.
The completion of the investment was celebrated at Retech’s headquarters in Buffalo, New York, with representatives of Seco/Warwick, PFR TFI, the Polish Embassy in Washington, the US Congress, and business partners in attendance. Retech, which has been part of the Seco/Warwick group since 2007, specializes in providing high-quality solutions for metallurgy and special technologies. The acquisition enhances the group’s ability to serve clients demanding the highest standards of precision and reliability.
Strategic importance for Seco/Warwick
This project demonstrates how a Polish industrial group can effectively expand in the American market, invest in advanced technology, and build an international scale of operations. For Seco/Warwick, this is a crucial step in strengthening its US presence. – This project is an example of how a Polish industrial group can successfully develop in the American market, invest in advanced technologies, and build an international scale of operations. For Seco/Warwick, it is an important stage in strengthening our presence in the US, but also proof that our competences, experience, and ambitions have a real global dimension. Cooperation with PFR in this project was essential support in implementing our foreign expansion strategy and further developing Retech – said Sławomir Woźniak, CEO of Seco/Warwick.
The event included presentations on the group’s development, Retech’s technological potential, and the effects of the investment. Participants also toured Retech’s laboratories and technological facilities, where they saw processes and solutions developed by the company. The project is one example of effectively combining Polish capital, technological know-how, and international experience.
Support from the Polish Development Fund
The Foreign Expansion Fund 2, managed by PFR TFI, provided a $10 million long-term loan to Retech. The funds are allocated for the development of metal powder production technology, including the construction and installation of Plasma Gas Atomizer furnaces, as well as the expansion and equipping of Retech’s production and assembly hall. – This project has strategic significance for Retech. It allows us to increase our technological capabilities, develop our 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 the Seco/Warwick group, 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 – stressed Earl Good, Managing Director of Retech.
Piotr Dmuchowski, CEO of PFR TFI, added: – 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 is an example of how PFR Group instruments create real conditions for long-term expansion of Polish companies in the most demanding markets of the world. It also confirms that Polish capital and Polish technology have real power on the international stage.
