General information

Short Summary
The company was founded in 1990 with a focus on the production of forged steel balls used in the processing plants of eg. copper, zinc, lead, and rock ore extraction industries. In the following years, they started cooperating with processing plants of the construction industry as well as power and cement plants.
Full Description
The company specializes in the production of balls using two methods:

--diameters 60-95 mm are made in the forging process out of the head of the rail

- diameters 30-50 mm are made in the rolling process out of all three parts of the rail

The company produces a single product. The use of cost-effective technologies, developed capacities and years of experience have made the company the leader in the production of milling balls in Poland and a major producer in Central and Eastern Europe. The company aims to strengthen leading position in the manufacturing and distribution of products in mining as well as in heat and power industries on the European market – and beyond.
Advantages and Innovations
In the first quarter of 2023, the company became the only company in the world that is able to fully process used railway rails into a full-fledged product, i.e. steel grinding balls, which are used to grind ores in the construction, energy and power sectors, cement plants as well as in non-ferrous metal mines. The grinding balls the company produces are an alternative to steel balls produced from rods in highly energy-intensive processes. The company is the owner of the technology that not only allows them to produce high-quality balls at competitive prices - thanks to low energy consumption and the use of the recycling method, but also allows to produce them in a fully sustainable manner. The company is the only company in the world that is able to produce grinding balls this way.
