Mariusz - life on the run

Mariusz

On a daily basis, he deals with the operation of machines intended for processing details of our products. On specialized machining centers, he prepares elements of products, such as WE and WEH spool valves (in the CETOP plate version), IWE intrinsically safe valves, USAB and USEB proportional valves and others.

It is worth noting here that the plant in Wadowice offers a whole range of services using the latest CNC technologies. The modern production hall has a number of machine tools of various levels of advancement, well-known and respected manufacturers, e.g. Makino, DMG, Mas, Studer, Mitsubishi. The machine park where Mariusz works is complemented by conventional machines - e.g. milling machines, lathes, boring machines and grinding machines. The equipment of the machine park allows for serial production, but at the same time it is flexible, adapted to the construction requirements of a given detail or element.

The elements prepared by Mariusz, which are part of the finished products (e.g. manifolds, valves, blocks) are subjected to a quality control process so that the final product meets all standards and the customer receives the highest quality product. Products made in the Plant in Wadowice are also used in hydraulic systems (aggregates, power packs, lubrication systems) produced by the Plant in Łaziska Górne.

Most people associate Mariusz standing still, at the control panel of the machine - and they don't know how fast this man runs! Yes, Mariusz's great passion is running! He often takes part in competitions, taking high places, winning prizes and distinctions.

When asked about his passion, he says:

“I've been involved in sports since I was a child, e.g. football, bike, swimming, gym, crossfit, calisthenics. The disciplines were changing - to finally allow me to find the one that absorbed me completely. And so 12 years ago I got a taste of mountain running and this adventure continues to this day. My first starts were on local hills and short distances. Leskowiec, Żar Mountain, Babia Góra. However, my appetite grew as I climbed more peaks and after a few years I was already taking part in mountain ultramarathons.”

Which jobs were the hardest?

"The most demanding competition in which I took part was undoubtedly the ultra run 'Grania Tatr' over a distance of 71 km. The difficulties of the route were compensated by the fabulous mountain landscapes and the amazing atmosphere on the route. Other difficult competitions in which I took part where: "TheWinter Ultramarathon Karkonoski", "Bieg 7. Dolin" over a distance of 100 km or "Chudy Wawrzyniec" in Beskid Żywiecki. I successfully completed "Beskidzka 160 in installments", then I won over a distance of 50 km. Further successes that gave me incredible satisfaction is the 3rd place in the team "Run 7. Valleys" in Krynica over a distance of 100 km and the 3rd place in the "Beskidzki Topor" over a distance of 104 km and 73 km"

Why did you choose this particular sport?

"For me, mountain running is the quintessence of an ideal activity. Thanks to this discipline, you can develop great condition and endurance while admiring the wonderful mountain nature! :)"
