We are delighted to announce that this week H+K has fully acquired our manufacturing partner in Poland - TKMet International. This acquisition expands our total global manufacturing facilities to five fully H+K owned and operated locations to strategically support our future growth plans. It was evident that now was the right time for this strategic acquisition. TKMet is located just an hour’s drive from our new Distribution Centre in Wroclaw that we opened last year and this continued expansion of our manufacturing footprint will allow H+K to further compete across Europe.
TKMet was formed in 2011 by two former H+K Europe employees, Tomasz Pec and Karol Trawinski, who alongside all the team at TKMet have now joined the H+K family as part of the H+K Europe division. Tomasz and Karol will continue to lead the facility with the same pride and dedication, which fully aligns with our own core values at H+K.
This is the next step in our continued investment in the global H+K business, as we grow our manufacturing capacity alongside the recent investments in our global distribution centers.
We strive to be the global leader in providing distinctive value through Integrated Equipment and Service Solutions to the restaurant and retail industry that enables our customers, partners and employees to succeed.
Based on our customers’ increased needs we are utilizing the Integrated Project Management model to actively develop new competencies in areas of field data collection and in the creation of architectural engineering drawings. This in turn translates into site execution while monitoring suppliers manufacturing schedules and influencing their inventory management. This extended role is particularly valuable in more mature markets with significant numbers of rebuilds and relocations.
