Autosan

At the beginning of its activity, the factory produced devices and equipment for the oil mining, distillery and brewing industries.

It later added transportation to its range and by 1894 it had become Poland's most important manufacturer of rail coaches and freight cars, tramcars and other high-capacity vehicles, while continuing to produce their initial output of boilers and other related devices.

A few days later Sobiesław Zasada Group, which owned the company, sold a package of shares in Autosan to Gregory Tarnawa for one Polish zloty.

Trade unionists from the factory picketed in front of the former owner, Sobiesław Zasada Group, in Kraków, demanding payment of arrears of salary for several months.

Since 2001, the company has developed and produced components for rail vehicles, especially the bodies of railcars and trams.
