a representative of an American company for Poland, SECO/ WARWICK, who was seeking partners in Eastern Europe. Jeff Boswell, a co-owner of SECO/WARWICK at the time, developed an interest in the solution offered by the Polish engineers and, after exchanging letters and telegrams, SECO/WARWICK’s representatives visited Europe.
“First, we went to the stable in Wilkowo. We were shocked. What we considered our weakness, the Americans saw as a success. If we were able to construct a vacuum furnace in such basic conditions, then we were really capable of handling great challenges. Next, our future partners invited us to the eastern coast of Meadville and after almost one-year-long negotiations, we got the word that American SECO/WARWICK had chosen us as their joint venture partner. And so on June 1, 1991, SECO/WARWICK Ltd. was established in Świebodzin,” reminisces Andrzej Zawistowski, one of the founders of SECO/WARWICK and the Chairman of the Group’s Supervisory Board.
“As a part of our 30th-anniversary celebrations, we asked our employees to list adjectives that they associate with the company. The most popular answers were: global, innovative, dependable, hard-working and family. This company deserves the name of a family company not just because its founders continue to work with us, and their families remain involved in our work, but because subsequent generations of our employees’ families have worked here for years. The community spirit can be felt and seen in our group efforts. We decided to celebrate this round anniversary and, in the spirit of “SECO is ECO,” leave an eco print behind. As a part of the SECO/ECO program, we planted 30 trees arranged in an avenue within the area of the plant, and even more in the nearby forest. Local and eco-friendly initiatives are an important element of our community involvement. We are connected with this region, it is where our heart started beating 30 years ago and that’s why we will always support it and its residents,” adds Katarzyna Sawka, Vice-President for Marketing of the SECO/WARWICK Group.
