Many high-tech applications, such as laser cooling, require reliable and exact temperature control. Standard products often do not fit, especially when requirements are highly specialized and production volumes are low. Additionally, OEMs in high-mix low-volume markets increasingly look for subcontracting partners within Europe.
Since 2015, AMS Technologies has been delivering custom thermal solutions through its branch in the Kraków region of Poland. This December, our teams in Kraków celebrated not only their tenth anniversary, but also the opening of a new state-of-the-art facility. What began with a very small engineering team focused on specialized cooling solutions has grown into a technology center with dedicated teams for engineering, production, as well as local quality, project, and supply chain management.
Today, the Kraków technology center focuses on developing and producing customized thermal management solutions and electronics, along with advanced contract manufacturing for electronics, optomechanics, and thermal systems. By bringing these capabilities together, AMS Technologies is strengthening its position as a trusted partner in European high-mix low-volume markets and providing flexible, high-quality solutions that address the evolving needs of its customers.
In the new building, engineering and production teams now work side by side for closer collaboration, which enables faster development of tailored solutions for applications in medical and aesthetics, analytics, and defense. The expanded shop floor supports the increasing demand from our growing customer base in Europe.
We were honored to welcome German General Consul Holger Mahnicke to our opening ceremony and to host Jeremy Picot-Clemente from EPIC Photonics for a keynote on the system approach that AMS Technologies brings to the industry.
After the official program, we invited our guests to tour the facility and learn more about our company, and we challenged them to try brazing, soldering, optical alignment, and fiber optics assembly hands-on. A sincere thank-you to our guests for celebrating with us, and a special appreciation to the colleagues who helped prepare the new building, shaped the work environment, and supported the organization of the opening event. We look forward to a successful new chapter in Kraków.
