History


The history of ABM SOLID dates back to 1991 when "EXBUD-20" company was set up. It was a member of the EXBUD SA Capital Group. At the beginning, the Company was primarily involved in trading operations and in 1993 it began construction activity as a substitute investor and sub-contractor. The present management of the Company, headed by Mr. Marek Pawlik, CEO and the major shareholder in ABM SOLID SA, purchased the shares in the company from EXBUD S.A. in 1998. Since that time, the Company has been operating as an independent entity called ABM SOLID.

ABM SOLID SA has been involved in gradually larger and more complex construction contracts, from standard warehouses in the field of industrial structures to complex technological facilities in the area of environmental protection and power generation as well as construction of industrial plants with assembly of technological lines.

The Company started to expand its operations into new areas of the construction market by way of acquiring interest or setting up companies, such as EXBUD Dębno in 1994 and HYDRO SOLID in 1999, which now function as autonomous divisions of ABM SOLID SA. In 2000 ABM SOLID  SA acquired Agromex, which subsequently changed its name into BIO SOLID Ltd.. Since 2003 ABM SOLID SA has been a shareholder in RESBUD SA.
