Winkelmann Automotive Poland Sp. z o.o. (Poland)

Winkelmann Automotive Poland Sp. z o.o. is a Poland-based automotive components manufacturer forming part of the Winkelmann Group Automotive Division, with industrial operations linked to the groups powertrain and fuel-module component portfolio. The business is positioned in the development and manufacture of rotationally symmetrical engine and transmission components as well as components for fuel modules, integrating metal forming with bonding and coating, plastics-related processes and elastomer/viscose-based damping solutions. Core product families within the division include pulleys and timing belt pulleys produced using the in-house WIN:DUR thermosetting technology combining steel and lightweight high-resilience plastic elements, fuel distribution systems for gasoline engines (including high- and low-pressure distribution systems and fuel and oil spray lines), and torsional vibration dampers designed to reduce rotational vibration in crankshafts, camshafts and auxiliary units, covering assembled and vulcanized dampers, dampers with decoupled pulley wheels and viscose dampers. The Polish manufacturing footprint is anchored in Legnica as part of a broader production network led from Ahlen, Germany, supporting deliveries to well-known vehicle manufacturers through automotive supplier relationships. Key assets include the Legnica production site, specialized forming and joining technologies (deep drawing, stamping, roll forming, flow forming, injection stamping, welding/soldering, and vulcanization), and in-house testing and process monitoring capabilities used to validate durability and series-production reproducibility. Strategic focus centers on high-precision, resource-conserving manufacturing, intensive pre-development and R&D collaboration with universities and industry partners, simultaneous engineering with customers, and readiness for rapid scale-up into mass production aligned with emissions reduction, efficiency and alternative-drive system trends.
