Welcome to
Gummi-Welz Poland

On 12 December 1993, Polytex was founded – a Polish company employing 16 persons. In further activities it was sold and then converted into a German company with the same name. 

In 2008 in connection with a succession plan, Polytex was acquired as the Polish site of the GWU group and was renamed Gummi-Welz Poland (GWP). Since then, the company in Trzcianka in western Poland has been manufacturing fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) components for a range of applications, including construction machinery, agricultural vehicles and rail vehicles.

In 2019, GWP was acquired by the HÜBNER Group, a global system supplier serving the mobility sector, manufacturing industries, life sciences companies and research activities. Headquartered in Kassel, Germany, HÜBNER employs more than 3,500 people around the world. In addition to its headquarters, HÜBNER has established more than 30 locations around the world in recent decades. 

The Polish city of Trzcianka with its 17,000 inhabitants is situated between forests and Lake Sarcz. In the first partition of Poland in the 18th century, it was assigned to Prussia as Schönlanke.  After the end of the Second World War, it was once again placed under Polish administration. 

Trzcianka was earlier one of the largest centers for cloth production in Greater Poland. Due to the abundant forestland, numerous wood-processing companies also were established In Trzcianka, including seven sawmills. 

To this day, the city is known as an industrial and commercial hub. Thanks to its proximity to the nearby lake, it is also a popular tourist destination. The Town Hall on Sikorskiego Street, the Church of St. John the Baptist with its asymmetrical tower, the Weavers' Pantry on Mochnackiego Street, and the museum with its regional collection are all attractions for visitors.  And in the center of the city, there is a magnificent maple-leafed plane tree as an impressive natural landmark.
