Founded in 1948, BISON-BIAL is the largest manufacturer of technological tooling for machining in Poland and has been an industry world leader for many decades. At its inception, the company manufactured both bench vices and machine vices and, in 1950, launched the production of lathe chucks.
In the sixties and seventies, BISON-BIAL developed its existing manufacturing halls and established new plants in Bielsk Podlaski, Kolno and Bialystok. The company began focusing on exports and product quality became first-class. In 1972, the company was one of the first to introduce Computer Management Systems in Poland and computerization quickly became a cornerstone in all spheres of its activity. During this time, half of BISON-BIAL export production was devoted to the Soviet Union, its biggest customer, and the breach of relations in 1990 caused a crisis in the factory. The company overcame the crisis on its own and became a Joint Stock Company in 1991 and was privatized in 1997.
Today, BISON products are sold in more than 50 countries around the world.
The product line of FPiU BISON-BIAL SA includes:
- Manual self-centering lathe chucks and independent lathe chucks
