Festo in Poland

Festo Poland, based in Warsaw, has an extremely impressive track record. In the

1960s, Festo began its first training programmes in the country, including courses

in schools and technical universities. In 1975, a small engineering information of-

fice was founded, followed by a sales office in 1985. Festo Sp. z o.o. was officially

founded in December 1989. Today, 130 employees support around 6,500 customers.

The local Regional Engineering Centre (REC) produces and assembles cylinders, con-

trol cabinets and handling systems for the domestic market, various CEECs as well

as for the REC Europe. The automation solutions are primarily aimed at the auto-

motive, food, packaging, water technology, electronics and machinery construction

sectors. Learning systems from Festo Didactic are used in around 600 educational

establishments in Poland. Festo is currently working together with Polish educational

institutions to develop basic and further training programmes for Training 4.0 for

both students and professionals in Poland.

On the border between Poland and Belarus

in Białowieża National Park, Europe’s last

primaeval forest, you can see wisent (Euro-

pean bison) in the wild. Once threatened by

extinction, these impressive animals have

been successfully re-introduced here.
