From 1 June 2026, Artur Metzler will assume the position of Managing Director of Arburg Polska Sp. z o.o. in Warsaw. The new head of the Polish subsidiary has been with Arburg since 2005 and has gained experience over the years in sales and service. According to the company, he has extensive knowledge of the market and customer requirements. Arburg is one of the leading suppliers of injection moulding machines in Poland and has built a strong position in the domestic plastics market over many years.
Artur Metzler says he will continue the company’s current development path. "I will use the experience I have gained at Arburg Poland and, together with the excellent team there, I will do everything I can to maintain our leading market position and achieve even better results in the future. From standard machines such as the new and very successful Allrounder Trend injection moulding machines to complex production cells with full automation and digital networking, we offer a broad portfolio and comprehensive expertise. Our team supports both small contract moulding companies and large global players. We are there for all our customers," he emphasizes.
Artur Metzler’s entire career to date has been linked with Arburg. In 2005, he began vocational training in Lossburg in the commercial and administrative field. He then held various roles in sales and service, completed a two-year foreign assignment for Arburg in Eastern Europe, and also earned a part-time degree in business administration. Since June 2022, he has headed the sales group responsible for Central and Eastern Europe, gaining broad knowledge of the region and the specifics of local markets. In his new role, he will be supported by a 27-strong team which, according to the company, he has known for many years and which largely consists of experienced long-serving employees.
Offer on the Polish market
Arburg emphasizes that, as a provider of complete solutions, it offers customers in Poland a broad portfolio covering various industries and application requirements. The company has had its own branch in Poland since 1992 and has significantly expanded the scale of its operations since then. As an example of current market trends, it points to the electric Allrounder Trend injection moulding machines, which are intended to provide a fast and cost-effective entry into the production of standard parts by injection moulding.
According to the company, during the initial workshops Polish customers were able to familiarize themselves with the capabilities of the new standard machines, including the speed and ease of their setup, operation and maintenance. The manufacturer also points to the reliability, energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness of part production using this series. Arburg Poland is also developing expertise in automation and turnkey solutions, preparing complex systems in cooperation with the headquarters in Lossburg.
Further development of the company
The company assesses that despite the impact of global crises and the difficult economic situation, Poland remains a relatively resilient market. The statement indicates that thanks to its central location, good infrastructure and high technical standards, the country is developing dynamically and is becoming an increasingly attractive location also for international customers.
The new Managing Director of Arburg Poland points to the potential for further growth in several market segments. "I see great potential both for our Allrounder Trend machines and in the medical and packaging industries, where our high-end machines and automation solutions are in very high demand. We also have a great deal to offer in the field of digitalisation."
