Polish industry has been collaborating with CERN for years and has been very successful in various technical domains, such as cryogenics, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and IT. The contracts and orders entrusted to Polish companies have been carried out with good quality. Polish companies proves that they are solid business partners and demonstrate a high level of specialisation.
Industrial supplies for CERN were provided by KrioSystem in Wrocław and Turbotech in Płock, CHEMAR in Kielce and RAFAKO in Racibórz. CERN also operates devices manufactured by the ZPAS company in Wolibórz, while Polish company ZEC Service has been awarded CMS Gold awards for the delivery and assembly of cooling installations. Creotech Instruments – a company established by a physicist and two engineers who met at CERN – is a regular manufacturer of electronics for CERN and enjoys a strong collaboration with CERN’s engineering teams. Polish companies also transfer technology from CERN to industry, such as TECHTRA in Wrocław, which obtained a license from CERN for the production and commercialisation of GEM (Gas Electron Multiplier) foil. Deliveries to CERN are also carried out, inter alia, by FORMAT, Softcom or Zakład Produkcji Doświadczalnej CEBEA from Bochnia. FIBRAIN, a manufacturer in the photonics and fiber optics sector, supplied CERN with launchers, which are used during measurement work in the CERN Tunnel.
These are just a few examples of companies from Poland that are successfully supplying products to CERN and other Big Science centers.
Among the scientific institutes, the National Center for Nuclear Research in Otwock near Warsaw and the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Krakow are particularly active.

Find new business contacts
The Świerk Science and Technology Park, at the National Center for Nuclear Research is the point of contact with Big Science centers for Polish industry and houses an ILO office for CERN, ITER and XFEL.
If you are looking for partners from Poland, in the area of R&D, come to us. We will help you establish valuable business contacts.
Support in research
If you need support in the area of materials research, computer science, or dosimetry measurements our labs stand open. Our scientists will help you improve your offer.
The Materials Research Laboratory at the National Center for Nuclear Research conducts scientific research, rheatesting and diagnostics of structural materials using destructive and non-destructive methods.
Non-irradiated and irradiated materials are tested in the following laboratories:
• Laboratory of Structural, Chemical and Corrosion;
• Laboratory of Mechanical Testing;
• Non-Destructive Testing Laboratory;
• Hot Cell Laboratory.
The Materials Research Laboratory has been recognised as an accredited testing laboratory granted by the Polish Center for Accreditation.
Świerk IT Center provides the highest quality modern IT services to entities involved in the development of the nuclear sector in the territory of the Republic of Poland, state administration units and scientific research institutions.
A supercomputer with the necessary accompanying infrastructure, it is one of several high-power computers in Poland. It ensures effective processing of large data sets (including for the Large Hadron Collider at CERN).
Companies from Poland and abroad successfully cooperate with us.
