Contact UsThe described international collaboration with the Polish headquarters involved the evaluation of expertise, existing products, solutions, and unique capabilities suitable for international expansion with customers and partners abroad. During this period, numerous pilot projects were successfully executed in various countries, and efforts were made to establish diverse partnerships. Additionally, cooperation and coaching were provided to project, product, and service managers, offering valuable insights to management over time.
A notable achievement during this period was the development of the gasLUX product family, specializing in Information, Simulation, and Optimization.

AUDI Brussels: Car production factory located in Belgium
Synthos Dwory: Chemical production plant located in Poland
