History
Kolzam was part of the Zakłady Naprawcze Taboru Kolejowego, which was a network of railway factories in Poland, which was based close by to the Racibórz railway station in 1858.[3] From 1895 the factory was taken over by the Directory of Railway in Katowice. After the Second World War, the company introduced sheet metal, forging, welding and machinery repair to their products.[4] In 1973 the company introduced machinery for railways and rolling stock, and in 1984 the company had produced mini buses and railcars. The products have been exported across Europe and Asia.[5]
