About us
The LAVASTER brand was established in 2012 in Kraków. It all started with the opening of a sole tarder called LAVASTER Marcin Wach, whose main task was to provide management services for companies related to the steel industry. At the end of 2015, LAVASTER Sp. z o.o. was established, which started assembly and production business. We now have a steel structure factory with an area of 2,800 m2 in the premises of the former Huta im. Sendzimira (now ArcelorMittal Poland). A large industrial space allows us to perform contracts whose elements often have oversize dimensions and weights. Since 2016, we have been the holder of the Factory Production Control Certificate pursuant to PN EN 1090-2 (to EXC-3) and the PN EN ISO 3834-2 Welding Certificate. We have an experienced engineering staff consisting of: Factory Production Control (FPC) Manager, Welder, Technology Department staff, and Quality Control Department staff. With their experience and commitment, our products are made in compliance with all applicable quality standards.
The factory has two overhead travelling cranes (Q8t) and one overhead crane (Q12.5 / Q5) on the outer structure. The following equipment is used for production: sheet metalcoil building machines, CNC thermal cutting machine, band saws, shearing machines, drills, welding devices, and others. We plan to extend and upgrade our machinery. In addition to prefabrication, we also perform assembly tasks, which is very important to our customers and it allows us to do jobs as a General Contractor in the “design and build” system more often.
The rapid development and systematically gained trust of our customers allows us to win and do domestic jobs for some of the largest Investors and General Contractors in Poland as well as smaller projects for international customers.
Our main activities include:
- DESIGNING – we specialize in designing steel stacks and vibration dampers
- PRODUCTION – steel structures, industrial stacks, vibration dampers, ducts and tanks, machine elements and many others.
- SERVICES – rolling, bending, shaping of sheet metal, cutting, welding, etc.
- ASSEMBLY – assembly and dismantling works of own and third-party steel structures.
- INSTALLATIONS – construction and maintenance of pipelines.
You are welcome to cooperate with us

PRECISION AND EXPERIENCE
Main scope of activities
LAVASTER employs about 40 people and due to the implementation of increasingly larger contracts this number is growing each year. Our team consists of people experienced in design, engineering, technology and management as well as production and assembly personnel. As part of our services, we can offer to build steel structures, including design and assembly. In addition to large construction and building projects, we provide maintenance, welding and consulting services, as well as repair and dismantling of steel structures, stacks and pipelines. We operate in such sectors of the economy as: energy, metallurgy, industrial and general construction, cement industry, mining, railways, environmental protection … where we produce, in particular, steel stacks, Tuned Liquid Dampers for stacks, tanks, silos, ducts, pipelines, halls, environmental protection systems, footbridges and smaller bridges, public utility facilities, engineering facilities, machine components and many others.
We specialize in designing steel stacks and Tuned Liquid Dampers
We manufacture industrial stacks, Tuned Liquid Dampers, steel structures, tanks, silos, ducts, halls, machine elements and many others.
We provide assembly and dismantling works in the steel industry along with welding works.
We cut elements from sheet metal using:
- programmable, plasma-gas CNC cutting machine with 3D head
- gas shears for sheet metal and profiles
- oxy-acetylene hand torch
- mechanical and hydraulic cutting machine
We can provide:
- rolling
- bending
- mechanical cutting
- mechanical and thermal chamfering
- drilling and threading
- punching and pressing
- grinding of sheet metal and profiles.
We weld carbon and alloy steels, including stainless steels, using the following methods:
- 111 – coated electrode arc welding
- 121 – submerged arc welding
- 131 – inert gas shielded consumable electrode welding (MIG)
- 135 – active gas shielded consumable electrode welding (MAG)
- 136/138 – active gas shielded flux cored arc welding
- 141 – argon shielded non-consumable electrode welding (TIG)
We have three sheet metal coil building machines, which enable us to make cargs and pipes with a diameter from 100 mm to 4000 mm, depending on the steel grade, thickness and length of the rolled sheet metal.
We can weld longitudinally on a copper pad of a pipe with a length of up to 3 m and a diameter of up to 1000 mm using an automatic machine built according to our original design.
In order to provide comprehensive services, we can perform paint coatings in accordance with the requirements of PN EN ISO 12944.
