Industry Findings: Poland’s manufacturing surge—especially in EV components, white goods, and logistics—is backed by continued EU structural funding, which rewards modernization of mid-sized factories. Plants are investing in automation cells that can incrementally scale rather than full-line overhauls. Integrators capable of blending EU-compliant safety validation with compact, low-downtime retrofits win contracts as Polish firms aim to match Western European production standards without overextending capex cycles.
Industry Progression: Poland’s manufacturing expansion—especially in EV components and white-goods assembly—is being fuelled by EU structural funds and capacity relocations, generating robot-deployment windows for integrators: factories are increasingly acquiring compact, retrofit-friendly automation solutions that meet EU-compliance and local language support, accelerating the penetration of robot-ecosystem players in Poland.
Industry Player Insights: Among the many players in this market, a few include KUKA, ABB Robotics, FANUC, Comau, UR (Teradyne), ASI Automation (regional integrator), and F&P Poland (local integrator). Poland’s factories are investing in retrofitable automation to support EV supply-chain growth and SME modernisation; for example, multiple EU-backed capacity projects in Poland during 2024–25 expanded demand for collaborative and gantry systems in EV component lines. That shift rewards suppliers who provide compact, easy-retrofit robot cells, clear safety validation packages and financeable rollout plans adapted to mid-sized Polish manufacturers.
