Buffalo, New York: The SECO/WARWICK Group has successfully concluded a major strategic investment project at its U.S.-based subsidiary, Retech, reinforcing its position in the American market and expanding its capabilities in advanced metallurgical technologies.
The completion of the project was marked by a ceremony at Retech’s headquarters in Buffalo, attended by representatives from the Polish Development Fund Investment Fund Company (PFR TFI), the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Washington, D.C., members of the U.S. Congress, business partners, and executives from the SECO/WARWICK Group.
The investment initiative was co-financed through the Foreign Expansion Fund 2 FIZ AN, managed by PFR TFI, and represents a significant milestone in the Group’s international growth strategy. Beyond formally closing the project, the event highlighted the success of Polish industrial expansion into one of the world’s most technologically advanced markets.
“This project shows how a Polish industrial group can successfully grow in the U.S. market, invest in advanced technologies, and build an international scale of operations,” said Sławomir Woźniak, CEO of the SECO/WARWICK Group. “Our cooperation with PFR provided important support in executing our international expansion strategy and Retech’s continued growth.”
As part of the project, Retech secured a long-term loan of USD 10 million from the Foreign Expansion Fund. The funding supports the development of metal powder production technologies, including the design and installation of Plasma Gas Atomizer furnaces, as well as the expansion and modernization of Retech’s manufacturing and assembly facilities.
Acquired by SECO/WARWICK in 2007, Retech specializes in advanced metallurgy and special processing technologies serving critical industries such as aerospace, defense, energy, medical technology, and specialty materials production. The investment is expected to strengthen the company’s research infrastructure, laboratory resources, and production capabilities.
“This project is strategically important for Retech,” said Earl Good, Managing Director of Retech. “It enables us to expand our technological capabilities, develop our laboratory resources, and respond even more effectively to the needs of customers operating in the most demanding industries.”
The event featured presentations on the growth of the SECO/WARWICK Group, Retech’s technological capabilities, and the results achieved through the investment. Attendees also toured Retech’s laboratories and production facilities to observe the company’s advanced processes and solutions firsthand.
According to Piotr Dmuchowski, the project demonstrates how Polish capital and technology can successfully compete on the global stage. He noted that the investment strengthens both SECO/WARWICK’s position in the United States and the international visibility of Polish industry.
The participation of representatives from the Polish Embassy and the U.S. Congress further underscored the importance of transatlantic economic cooperation and the growing role of Polish technology companies in the U.S. market.
The United States remains a key market for SECO/WARWICK, with Retech and SECO/WARWICK USA serving as important pillars of the Group’s global strategy. The completion of the Buffalo project marks another step in the company’s efforts to combine Polish engineering expertise with global reach while delivering advanced technologies to high-demand industries worldwide.
