INNOVATION

Wielton is a pioneer in terms of introducing latest production technology in the semi-trailer industry. We have been developing our own technological ideas for years, optimising the production process and introducing technical innovations.

The main direction of the group’s development is primarily about ensuring the highest quality of products, as well as investing in the best specialists and latest processes of automatic and robotics production. In this way we are able to increase not only the quality of manufactured vehicles but also the production capacity of the company. With the extensive construction, automation and robotics capabilities, our company is able to compete with international players in terms of both quality and range of products.

The group employs more than 200 engineers who optimise the production process and introduce innovative design solutions to meet the specific needs of production. Already in the 90s, our production was partly automated, owing to welding robots and cutting lasers in the production hall. The process of improving production is still ongoing – we invest in innovative technologies such as a five-robot production hall, shot blasting plant, paint shop, new production preparation equipment, and automated warehouse.

The company’s strategy and pace of change in the transport industry have initiated cooperation with scientific centres in Poland. Wielton acts as a patron to the new faculty at the Politechnika Śląska (Silesian University of Technology) and to the dedicated class set up in Vocational Schools Centre No. 2 in Wieluń. The area of education is an important part of building the employer branding policy. As part of the innovation development, Wielton launched a remote design office in the Gliwice Science and Technology Park, part of the Wielton S.A. R&D department.
