Hydro-Vacuum S.A. a brand built over the years


Read how the Hydro-Vacuum S.A. pump and pump systems factory in Grudziadz operates and what it has to offer for job seekers. Attention technical students, we have a contest for you, more details coming soon. Follow our website and social media.



Hydro-Vacuum S.A. is one of the largest manufacturers of pumps and pumping systems in Poland and also one of the largest employers in Grudziadz. The factory has been in operation since 1862, and has been strongly developing design solutions for new products for several decades. This is made possible by pursuing a strategy of building innovative types of pumps and complex pumping systems, which makes it possible to conquer new markets around the world. The main competition for the company are Western manufacturers, with whom we have been successfully competing for years on many levels. The implementation of the Company's strategy has been so successful that even in these times of pandemic, the company has recorded an increase in revenue.

The development and smooth operation of the factory would not be possible without highly qualified engineering and production staff. Employees of our company at every level have been working for its success for the most part for several decades of their careers. Among our staff, the longest current length of service is 48 years. Hydro-Vacuum S.A. gives its employees a sense of security and the opportunity to develop their skills and advance. Over the years, we have positive examples of progression through the ranks from production to management positions. The most important thing for us is the competence and skills of people who are committed and want to change our factory for the better.



An additional advantage of working at Hydro-Vacuum S.A. is the opportunity to gain expertise in various areas through a number of training courses and thematic courses, as well as the use of modern technology and software. In our structure, we have a Research and Development Department, implementing innovative projects that successfully obtain European Union funding, a Technical Advisory Department, consisting of employees with many years of experience in selecting equipment for the most difficult installations, Domestic and Export Sales Departments and regional sales engineers, taking care of regular and profitable contracts for the Company. In terms of production, we have our own Foundry Department, which allows us to flexibly produce castings from even the most technologically difficult construction materials, and a Pump Production Department responsible for machining and final assembly of products. The company is equipping itself with more and more modern equipment (flow simulation software, robots working with CNC machines, etc.), which is related to the annual increase in production and increasingly higher quality requirements. Order fulfillment could also not take place without logistics, quality control and maintenance services, sales without service and marketing support, and company service without warehouse, IT, accounting, human resources and administration departments. Our company is a team of interconnected vessels, functioning efficiently and thus enabling us to achieve success.

Hydro-Vacuum S.A.'s products go to Polish water and sewage companies and individual consumers, as well as to markets around the world, supplying water to, among others, a large part of Vietnam's capital city of Hanoi. Few people are aware that without pumps and pump sets, it would be impossible to have water on tap and to transport wastewater to treatment plants. Pumps are also an important part of the work of many food and chemical plants, where various kinds of substances are transported. In our production, we are aware of the responsibility for our product.



The technical nature of our production, makes the recruitment of employees particularly concerned with specialists in a particular field of technology, electrical, mechanical or machining. In order to improve the quality of production, and in connection with generational replacement and retirements, we continuously and uninterruptedly recruit employees for various lower and higher level positions. We post all information and on our website www.hv.com and in specialized portals.

The company is also continuously investing in replacing machinery and upgrading production, as well as robotization. All of this is happening thanks to the commitment of our employees and new ideas emerging regarding opportunities to improve the company's operations. "All this is happening in spite of austerity, pandemics and a difficult time for many employees related to health, childcare and family. We would like to thank all our employees for the fact that together we managed to end the last year of 2020 on a positive note." - said Wojciech Grabowski - CEO.

Our company employs workers from the local labor market. We also support the Mechanical School Complex, where a patronage class has been established with a major in "Cutting Machine Operator." We also cooperate with the Technical School Complex and the Economic School Complex in the field of apprenticeships.



We would also like to encourage students of technical studies to apply to our company. We also have contests lined up for students in our district for an engineering paper on a given technical topic. Details will appear next week on our website and social media. In this way we want to prove that work in our city can be just as interesting as in large agglomerations.

„The most important qualities of an employee that have emerged in the past year are an understanding of the situation and flexibility. As a manufacturing company, we are still hiring, but there is a constant shortage of people with qualifications in technical professions (lathe operator, CNC operator, metrologist, automation or electrician), and this is where we should look for job opportunities in our region. In our 2020 strategy, the most important thing was to maintain business continuity with the continuous physical presence of the majority of employees in the factory, and this has yielded a positive result. The investment in production automation means that production employees spend less and less time on tedious multi-batch work and are directed in particular to unit work, which on the one hand requires special accuracy and high skills, but also provides the opportunity for continuous competence growth and access to specialized training and new technologies." - Ewelina Janczak - Head of Department of Administrative Services and Management Office.
