Mikrostyk in 2024: Achievements amidst the challenges of the metal stamping market

Market challenges and process optimization

The year 2024 was a challenging period for Mikrostyk, marked by inflation, rising wages, and a decline in orders from the automotive sector, which faced a global crisis. Additionally, price pressure from Asian competitors compelled the company to remain competitive in difficult market conditions. Despite these obstacles, Mikrostyk focused on optimizing processes and digitization. A key achievement was the integration of production processes within the ERP system, significantly improving the efficiency of metal stamping in Poland and streamlining data management. Simplifying administration through modern accounting solutions and customer communication systems also contributed to the company’s enhanced operations.

Expanding the Product Range and Production Infrastructure

In the past year, Mikrostyk secured two new clients, showcasing its ability to offer competitive metal stamping solutions in Poland, even against Chinese competitors. The company expanded its portfolio to include laser marking and advanced CNC technologies, enabling even greater precision in manufacturing stamped metal components. A crucial milestone was the focus on optimizing the Tooling Department, both digitally and technologically. Investments in wire EDM machines ensured that the entire tooling machine park now belongs to the GF Machining Solutions family. This standardization allows for more efficient resource utilization and the development of team expertise. Factory modernization, including layout optimization and the expansion of workspace for future assembly departments, has prepared the company for further growth and increased production capacity. The introduction of solutions to improve workplace comfort and safety highlights Mikrostyk’s dedication to the well-being of its employees and the long-term growth of the organization.
