In recent years, the international context has changed significantly. Geopolitical tensions have led to a substantial increase in investments in the defense and security sectors. In this scenario, collaboration between companies is becoming increasingly important in order to operate effectively in a complex European market.

“Individual companies, on their own, often do not have the strength to effectively position themselves in such a specific market as the military sector. Together we are stronger, more credible, and more competitive,” explains Fabrizio Cottura, CEO of SIRIT Poland.

For this reason, the company decided, supported by Bosetti Global Consulting, to join the cluster, with the goal of expanding its network of industrial relationships and developing new opportunities for collaboration.

SIRIT Poland already collaborates with major brands in the industrial vehicle sector that have developed dedicated lines for military use. However, joining the Lower Silesian Aviation Cluster will also allow the company to connect with firms that operate directly and in a specialized way in production for the defense sector.

Within the cluster, there are companies that develop technologies and components specifically intended for the military industry, creating a collaborative environment focused on innovation and industrial development.

Thanks to its manufacturing experience, SIRIT Poland is able to respond to highly specific technical requirements. Through the fittings manufacturer TOSI, the company can develop customized solutions, adapting production processes and testing procedures to meet clients’ needs.

SIRIT Poland already collaborates with companies in the military sector in Germany, Poland, and the Czech Republic, operating according to high standards of quality, strict data confidentiality, and the specific procedures required in both industrial and military environments.

“The cluster represents an important step forward for us. It is a sector that will become increasingly relevant over the next 5–10 years, and one that we want to observe and develop with great attention,” concludes Cottura.

Joining the Lower Silesian Aviation Cluster therefore represents a strategic choice for the future and an opportunity to strengthen SIRIT Poland’s presence in a rapidly evolving industrial environment.

Headquartered with a dedicated team of 25 employees, AF Baeder currently serves 14 countries, including Austria, Croatia, Romania, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic, among others. The company’s extensive product portfolio includes: fast-available spare parts, advanced original equipment solutions, vehicle lighting systems, brake & clutch hydraulics, trailer fittings, air tanks, tail lifts, and others.

Through this collaboration, SIRIT aims to strengthen its position in multiple European markets by offering tailored and reliable solutions to meet the diverse needs of commercial vehicle operators.

“This partnership represents a significant step forward in our mission to deliver innovative and efficient solutions across Europe. With AF Baeder’s established network and expertise, we can better serve our customers and expand our reach,” says Fabrizio Cottura, CEO of SIRIT Poland.

The partnership underscores both companies’ commitment to efficiency, quality, and customer-focused service, ensuring faster access to parts and solutions for fleets and businesses across the continent.

We are pleased to announce that since May 2025, Sirit Poland has taken over responsibility for the German and Austrian markets, which were previously managed by Sirit Germany.

Over the past months, we have carefully implemented new procedures to ensure a smooth transition. This integration allows us to serve our German-speaking customers with even greater consistency and reliability. By centralizing operations in Poland, we have simplified processes across markets and enhanced the efficiency of our logistics and sales. Orders are now processed and shipped faster, directly from our warehouse in Poland.

“With this integration, we are bringing our German and Austrian clients closer to the heart of Sirit’s operations. Centralizing management in Poland enables us to maintain the same high standards across all markets, while improving speed, efficiency, and customer satisfaction.”
— Fabrizio Cottura, CEO of Sirit

This step not only strengthens Sirit’s position in Europe but also reflects our ongoing commitment to providing our partners with the highest level of service and support.

To our German and Austrian customers: please be assured that your needs remain our priority. The transition ensures you will continue to receive the same trusted service — now with the added benefits of faster deliveries, unified support, and streamlined communication through our Polish headquarters. We thank you for your continued trust and look forward to growing together.

Langendorf, whose motto is “Technology on wheels”, is a German family company with over 70 years of experience in the production of trailers, which is currently part of the Wielton Group. Its Polish branch was established in October 2020, cooperation with SIRIT Poland has been ongoing since mid-2021, and as part of deliveries digitized in the kanban system – since April 2023

SIRIT fittings are synonymous with high quality, but their competitive advantage is influenced by the method of their delivery, audit of the customer’s production and technical advice on assembly.

– Our philosophy is closely related to the concepts of lean and just-in-time. We only deliver when there is a demand for materials. Our software constantly monitors customers’ inventory levels and when the minimum stock level is reached, we send a load. – explains Fabrizio Cottura, CEO of SIRIT Poland.

Langendorf offers a range of commercial vehicles, including specialized semi-trailers for transporting glass. It also produces tipper semi-trailers, vertical prefabricated transporters, low-bed semi-trailers and two-level semi-trailers, thus expanding the Wielton Group’s portfolio. It is natural that the company took over the know-how used by Wielton, including the IT solution from SIRIT Poland, which, based on the Kanban system, ensures that the deliveries of connectors for pneumatic braking systems are carried out in a rational and economical way.

How does the kanban system generate savings for the company?
Before the introduction of a digitized delivery system, the level of minimum quantity required in a warehouse to avoid line downtime was not a known fact. The above situation resulted in urgent, unplanned orders and slowdowns in production processes. Statistical monitoring carried out by SIRIT Poland over the period of time necessary to collect a real sample of data and cross it with the order processing time necessary to deliver to the customer allowed us to identify: the minimum required quantity of goods that Langendorf must have in stock for each product code and the quantity of goods that SIRIT Poland must automatically deliver when the customer falls below the minimum threshold in the warehouse. In this way, an automatic mechanism is activated, thanks to which the customer, when entering the “reserve”, does not have to worry about material shortages, because SIRIT Poland already provides him with the necessary components, even without his knowledge.

How does this happen in practice? Data regarding inventory volumes are obtained thanks to barcodes placed on boxes with connectors. These codes are scanned both when shipping connectors to customers and when products are received in the warehouse. Additionally, every month, the sales volume from the previous period is analyzed and, on this basis, requirements for the desired inventory level are developed.

Scale of savings for a medium-sized company
Demand forecasting leads to many organizational benefits for customers, including supply stability, elimination of material surpluses, and high-frequency monitoring based on sales trends. The economic effects related to savings in supply costs (at the level of 3-8%) are also important. SIRIT Poland provides its customers with free access to barcoded containers. Customers also use SIRIT software for free, which is maintained by the company. This allows you to achieve cost and time savings, because creating your own kanban program is a significant investment. Measurable benefits also apply to the inventory level monitoring procedure itself. Thanks to real-time registration of material collections, daily monitoring of customer warehouses by SIRIT Poland and automatic updating of the warehouse situation, it is possible to save another 18 hours a month for the purchasing office and the warehouse.
The system used by SIRIT Poland may cause concerns related to the introduction of changes in the production process and computerization of the warehouse. However, statistics clearly show that it translates into specific savings, which, in the case of a medium-sized company, amount to approximately 7%. on the value of the delivery per year. In the case of Langendorf Polska, we are talking about savings of PLN 35,065 per year, and after 5 years the forecast is PLN 137,245. We eliminate expenses related to unnecessary staff work and excess material in the warehouse. This affects both cost reduction and, above all, actual financial liquidity, as there is no longer a need to have large amounts of “frozen” material in the warehouse. Deliveries to Langendorf Polska currently take place twice a week.

Before introducing the kanban system, the SIRIT Poland team conducted an audit at assembly stations and provided technical advice aimed at optimizing assembly.

–By improving the ergonomics of assembly, we reduce product purchase costs, assembly time and create dedicated technical solutions for the customer. Reducing the number of connectors used also translates into a reduction in the trailer’s weight, resulting in a further reduction in vehicle operating costs. – says Fabrizio Cottura, CEO of SIRIT Poland.
Cooperation between SIRIT Poland and Langendorf Polska leads to measurable benefits. The customer does not have to inform the supplier about the increase in production, because the SIRIT Poland warehouse is stocked 2-3 months in advance, which eliminates the risk of downtime and reduces the delivery time to a few days, and even in special situations to a few hours.

–Automation of production processes is currently extremely important. We cannot afford downtime and delays in the execution of orders. Thanks to cooperation with SIRIT Poland and implementation of the kanban system and constant monitoring of the number of connectors in warehouses and automation of orders, we are able not only to save the time needed to place them, but also to improve the efficiency of the production process. – sums up Tomasz Wypchło, COO Langendorf Polska.

–We started joint activities with SIRIT Poland this year. Support for the renovation of the children’s kitchen and help in organizing a holiday vacation are invaluable to us. Traveling together is a special time when the energy of our children materializes, and the time spent together strengthens our educational activities. We are glad that we found in Mr. Fabrizio and SIRIT a reliable, responsible and kind partner who, with inventiveness and real commitment, supports us in meeting the needs of children, the weakest, often excluded and with dramatic experiences. The support of donors shows our pupils that “no one is so weak that he cannot help another”, reassure them that you can count on other people, and this is a very important lesson. – says Paweł Wołko, director of the facility.

After talking to Mr. Paweł and thoroughly learning about the needs of children and educational staff, we prepared a long-term support package for the facility and the kids.
We divided the help into categories:
a. Needs – we provide quarterly financial support for the purchase of the most necessary clothing, footwear and hygiene items.
b. Space – we equipped the kids’ club room with furniture, thanks to which the tutors conjured up a cozy space for shared fun and entertainment. We provided financial support for the renovation of the kitchen, thanks to which this “heart of the house” will be friendlier and safer.
c. Experiences – together with our friends and partners, we co-financed a real holiday by the sea, so that every child from the House could take advantage of an unforgettable summer vacation and, above all, get closer to the social context similar to their peers.

–Our company has been in Poland for many years, during which we have experienced economic development and growth. For me personally, this growth was professional and human. It allowed me to gain life experience, improve myself as a manager and as a human being. Poland has given us so much that the right time has come to give back some of this economic, human and emotional well-being. I hope that a small gesture can improve or help the most vulnerable part of society that hosts us. – comments Fabrizio Cottura, CEO of SIRIT Poland.

We would like to thank our partners and friends who have joined us for their support: Mr. Carlo Toro from Torauto, Mr. Maurizio Prandina from Copra S.R.L. and Ms Manuela Azzolin of Sellmat. We encourage you to build an even better life for children from Bierutów. Please contact us if you would like to join our charity project.

It doesn’t take much. Please contact us if you want to make a small gesture in their favour. We will be happy to tell you about the functioning of the House or organize a meeting so that you can see for yourself, how much our help is needed to give a second chance to those who, through no fault of their own, could not take advantage of the first.

The conference reflected the company’s efforts to develop and implement innovative products that meet customer needs. EMTECH, in cooperation with the Wrocław University of Technology, develops innovations in the production technology of trailers and semi-trailers. The company has recently launched its carpentry, and in the future it also plans to create a powder coating laboratory.

– We are aware of the importance of complete safety and quality of solutions for our sector. We attach great importance to certification. We have introduced ISO 9001: 2015, ISO 3834-2: 2021 standards, as well as full vehicle approval and certification of manufactured parts. We focus on technical solutions that eliminate metallurgical elements. We create more and more highly advanced semi-trailers that make it easier for the driver to transport non-standard dimensions. – says Marcelina Kaczmarek-Pięta, marketing specialist at EMTECH.

The culmination of the work of the design and engineering departments is always confronting solutions with users. The best opportunity for this are industry meetings, during which representatives of the sector can discuss technological innovations in a relaxed atmosphere.
We are glad that we could participate in the meeting and we look forward to more opportunities to strengthen our cooperation.
