History

In 1996 the BARTEC corporation opened a joint-venture company “CARBO-BARTEC” in Poland with its headquarters in Tychy. Since its inception, the company specialises in the manufacture and sale of intrinsically safe equipment, electrical and power electronic systems for power supply, power distribution, industrial automation and communication intended for use in explosion hazard areas, in environments where hazardous substances such as flammable components, vapours, mists or dusts are present. The company also introduces technologically advanced products for underground mining to the Polish market.

In addition to its own solutions in this area, the company is the exclusive Polish distributor of Bartec products \www.bartec.de\, a global leader in explosion protection meeting the requirements of the Atex Directive for explosive atmospheres.

Growing share of sales on the Polish market encourages the management of BARTEC GmbH to transform in 2004 the existing joint-venture company into a company under the name of BARTEC Polska Spółka z ograniczoną odpowiedzialnością in which 100% of shares are held by BARTEC GmbH of Bad Mergentheim (DE).
