History

The roots of Fludra Metal Company go back to 1930. The Company's founder and first owner was Jan Fludra. Initially, the strategy was focused on blacksmithing, with utmost attention being paid to high product quality and continuous improvement of personnel skills.

In 1960 the Company was handed over to Edward Fludra – the founder's son. He expanded the range of activity to include fitting services, which necessitated increase of manpower and purchase of new equipment.
