Las year was exceptionally successful for the Bytów company.

Not only did the company launch one of the most modern powder paint shop in Europe, but is also started the construction of a new office building and the high-storage warehouse. It increased its own transport fleet to over 400 vehicles, and it continues the process of production automation and robotization. It is worth pointing out that during the pandemic that affected numerous Polish companies, Drutex increased the workforce by 550 persons, as one of the biggest and most valued employers in the Pomerania. Plans for this year are also very ambitious. The company will start the construction of the biggest production hall covering ca 7.5 hectares. In total, the Bytów producer of windows, doors and roller shutters is planning to allocate over PLN 350 million to investment.
