Key Integrated Services, headquartered in Lymm, has established a base in Katowice, Poland, as part of its plans to grow across the continent.

The new European hub aims to strengthen support for existing clients and expand the business across multiple markets, including France, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, and Sweden.

Mark Poulton, CEO of Key Integrated Services, said: “We’ve been serving customers across Europe for a number of years, and given our expansion plans, we felt now was the ideal time to establish a fulltime presence.

“Poland, located in Central Europe, is the perfect location to expand our operations across the continent.

“The new office will initially tap into the expertise and resources of the UK business with a view to the local operation building their own team in the future as the business grows.”

The Katowice office will deliver the company’s full range of mechanical and electrical services, including HVAC systems, decarbonisation, high- and low-voltage installations, and process engineering.

It will serve clients in established sectors such as food and beverage, and health and life sciences, as well as targeting automotive, manufacturing, and paper and packaging industries.

The Polish operation will be led by Adrian Cios, an experienced market entry and growth specialist with decades in engineering, with most of his time spent at Beck & Pollitzer.

Mr Cios brings a track record of establishing new business units across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.

Mr Cios, director – Europe, said: “Key Integrated Services has an excellent business model – one that I can see being successful in Europe.

“Mark has built the business around what works best for the customer – bringing people, products and services together to meet specific client challenges.

“As well as identifying opportunities within Key Integrated Services’ existing client base, I’m looking forward to leveraging my own contacts as well as working with the wider leadership team to introduce new services to further expand our customer offer.”
