About us Wicborskie Zakady Metalowe "WIZAMOR" (The Wicbork "WIZAMOR" METAL WORKS) is a company limited by guarantee which has successfully been continuing its tradition and experience since 1900. In its current legal form the company has been on the market since 1 May 1997. The initial activity included production of agricultural machines, but it soon embraced other sectors of economy, among others shipbuilding industry. The initial production destined for the industry including flanged joints, joints for ship's piping systems and steel glands for electric conductors goes back to the late 1950's of the 20th century. The continual enlargement of the production assortment offered by our company and systematic modernization of the currently manufactured products enables us to supply joints for any ship's or other industrial piping systems, as well as any hydraulic installations. The following years saw an intensive development of the company, which resulted in the recognized position of our company among our customers representing shipbuilding industry, agricultural and building machines industry, coal and copper mining. Broad production capacities based on our machinery (a dozen or so multi-spindle auto-lathes, single-spindle auto-lathes, numerically and conventionally controlled auto-lathes and millers, and other machines and equipment) combined with the knowledge and experience of the company personnel make it possible to manufacture a very wide range of products. The production includes among others the following items: - pipe connections for hydraulic drives and control,
- clenching elements for hydraulic pipes,
- metal glands for electric conductors,
- shock absorbers for mounting generating sets and compressors,
- connections for ship's piping systems and bulkhead transitions.
Fully satisfied customers are our most valuable assets. To accomplish this we undertake all the necessary procedures to ensure the highest quality of our products at reasonable prices. Being the holder of the certificates issued by Polish Register of Shipping, Germanisher Lloyd or Central Mining Institute as well as performing our activities on the basis of ISO 9001:2000 Quality Management System we do ensure credibility and reliability of our services.
