TMA Automation invests in a new plant in Poland

The Engel Group subsidiary, TMA Automation, has begun construction of a modern office and production building in the immediate vicinity of Gdansk Airport in Poland. This new location underlines Engel’s commitment to growth and innovation in the automation of injection moulding processes.

The strategically favourable location offers an excellent access to various educational and training institutions, including technical universities in the region. This supports the long-term recruitment of highly qualified specialists and strengthens the Engel Group’s position in the field of highly integrated and automated production solutions.

The background to the new building is the planned growth of TMA Automation: the workforce is to be doubled in the medium term, creating new jobs and enabling the company to expand its capacities. This in turn will benefit our customers, particularly in Poland and Eastern Europe, as TMA Automation prefers to manufacture customised automation solutions for these regions.

Engel acquired a majority stake in TMA Automation in 2022, which remains active on the market as an independent brand. The new building in Gdansk will intensify the collaboration between the two companies. While the founders Marek Łangowski and Piotr Orlikowski will continue to manage the business, Walter Aumayr will supplement the local management team and strengthen the connection to the Engel Group.

TMA Automation specialises in the development and implementation of innovative and customer-specific automation solutions, particularly in the areas of in-mould labelling (IML), side-entry robots, palletising systems and stand-alone assembly systems. In the new building, TMA will continue to develop customised solutions to meet customers’ growing requirements and ensure maximum flexibility.

The new building, which is scheduled for completion by autumn 2025, will further strengthen the collaboration between Engel and TMA to meet the increasing demand for sustainable and high-performance automation solutions.
