SECO/WARWICK is successfully executing its growth strategy, built on quality, a global customer footprint, and consistent structural simplification. In a demanding market environment, the Group delivered very strong financial results, improved profitability, and continued initiatives strengthening its competitive position in key markets.
Growth Drivers of the SECO/WARWICK Group
In 2025, the SECO/WARWICK Group’s revenue totaled PLN 745.9 million, up 4.6% year over year and the highest result in the Company’s history. At the same time, EBIT increased to PLN 43.1 million (+35.7% y/y), and the EBIT margin rose to 5.8% from 4.5% in 2024. Net profit reached PLN 26.1 million, and EPS rose to PLN 3.82, up 36% y/y—one of the strongest investment signals coming out of this year’s results.
“Behind the Group’s very strong performance is both organic growth and an improved sales mix. A new growth engine has emerged in the Aluminum Process segment, which expanded by more than 38.5% y/y. The Melting Furnaces segment also delivered a very solid result, with revenue of nearly PLN 250 million, up 5.3% y/y. SECO/WARWICK is successfully capturing demand in segments where technological advantage, energy efficiency, and workmanship quality are of critical importance to industrial customers,” commented Sławomir Woźniak, CEO of the SECO/WARWICK Group.
Geographically, the key markets remain Europe, which generated PLN 260 million in revenue, up 13.5% y/y and accounting for 35% of the Group’s sales, and the U.S. (36% of the Group’s sales). The fastest-growing region is Asia (+25.4% y/y), with revenue of PLN 160 million.
One of the most important events of the first half of 2025 was the merger of SECO/WARWICK Corporation and SECO VACUUM TECHNOLOGIES into a single company—SECO/WARWICK USA. This is an important step toward simplifying the organizational structure, reducing administrative costs, and strengthening the Group’s position in the North American market. The U.S. restructuring translates into greater operational efficiency, better resource use, and a clearer operating model for customers and partners.
The 2025 financial results fit well into SECO/WARWICK’s broader development trajectory. The Group consistently strengthens an operating model based on local capabilities, in-house production resources, and customer proximity, responding to global trade shifts, the growing importance of local content, and the need to build more resilient supply chains. At the same time, it is expanding solutions for sectors with high-quality and technology requirements, such as power generation, aerospace, recycling, green steel, and modern industrial processes supported by digitization and automation.
Business Model Built on Local Capabilities
Amid growing protectionism, shorter supply chains, and cost pressure, the Group continues to strengthen its position as an industry partner that provides not only equipment but also operational security, quality, and process predictability. SECO/WARWICK solutions are now operating in more than 70 countries, serving demanding sectors such as aerospace, automotive, medical, and power generation.
“More and more markets are moving away from a fully globalized model toward local production, ‘local content’ requirements, and greater self-sufficiency. SECO/WARWICK is responding to this trend with a strategy developed over the past several years: each company in the Group has its own manufacturing and service capabilities, enabling it to flexibly tailor its offering to customer expectations as well as political, customs, and tender requirements. In practice, this means the ability to deliver solutions manufactured locally in the U.S., Europe, or Asia—depending on market needs. Asia remains a strong pillar of this strategy. For years, SECO/WARWICK has been building its presence in China and India, developing not only sales, but also engineering, assembly, and R&D capabilities there. In India, the Group has evolved from a joint venture to its own company and assembly hall, creating local centers of competence. In China, where price competition is exceptionally aggressive, SECO/WARWICK focuses on the premium segment and demonstrates that it is also possible to win in this market through quality, durability, and repeatable processes. Increasingly, it is customers from China—seeking to move up to a higher level of production and export to demanding markets—who choose SECO/WARWICK technologies,” commented S. Woźniak.
Digital Solutions – Digital Twin
The Group is currently focused on further developing digital tools that support standardization and efficiency. SECO/WARWICK uses digital twin technology to design, test, and deploy equipment more predictably, faster, and with lower risk. These solutions are already being rolled out across the Group’s entities, supporting the harmonization of production standards across markets. This is particularly important for tailor-made solutions, which represent a significant part of the portfolio and naturally carry the highest project risk.
“Since the beginning of its operations, SECO/WARWICK has delivered more than 5,000 systems to its Partners. This year, we are celebrating our 35th anniversary in Poland—a milestone we can be proud of. Our financial results show not only the scale of the business, but also the steadily increasing quality of the business and the effectiveness of the strategy we are executing. Today, SECO/WARWICK employs more than 900 people, whereas at the beginning it was a small group with a vision, expertise, and a willingness to take risks. But today we are not focused on the past. On the contrary, we want to actively help shape the industrial future—not only of Poland, but of the entire world,” added Katarzyna Sawka, Vice President of Marketing at the SECO/WARWICK Group.
“Investor Without Borders” – Prestigious Title for SECO/WARWICK
Excellent financial results are not the only thing the Company can be proud of. SECO/WARWICK was among five Polish companies that received the “Investor Without Borders” title during the gala accompanying the 18th European Economic Congress, for its outstanding activity in expanding business beyond borders. As a global leader in the design and manufacture of advanced technologies for metal heat treatment and vacuum metallurgy, SECO/WARWICK has consistently built its position in international markets by combining Polish engineering expertise, innovation, and a long-term development strategy.
“The story of SECO/WARWICK is a story of investment—in people, technologies, and markets. SECO/WARWICK’s investments literally and figuratively know no borders. This distinction confirms for us that global success can be built on Polish technological thought, the courage to expand, and the trust of customers worldwide,” said K. Sawka while accepting the award.
