History of the Company

Since the time the company was started, asynchronous three-phase medium-power motors have been CELMA's main products. Looking at the history of the factory from the perspective of 3/4 of a century and following its stages of development as well as the role it played in the turning points of Polish history, one cannot overestimate its contribution to the development of the country's industry after World War I, and especially after World War II. It is also difficult to estimate the influence of the firm, which was the biggest factory in the Cieszyn Region , on the cultural and social growth of this area.
