Explore the history of Lenze Poland
It all began with the founding of Rotiw Sp. z o.o. on October 1, 1995, by Jerzy Witor. Thanks to his vision and determination, the company launched its operations and gradually evolved into the official representative of the Lenze Group in Poland. Today, we are proud to be among the leading providers of drive technology in the country.
Over the years, the company has undergone various changes – in both name and organizational structure. Each transformation marked a step forward in strengthening our market position and expanding our product portfolio. Our collaboration with the Lenze Group has enabled us to introduce cutting-edge drive and control technologies to the Polish market. The trust of our customers has been key to our growth and to the successful projects we’ve delivered together.

The first employees
At the very beginning of Lenze Polska (then known as Rotiw), the company had only five employees. Over the years, the company steadily increased its turnover and gradually expanded its team. Today, 37 people work at Lenze Polska. Many of them have been with the company for many years, bringing valuable experience and continuity.
The spirit of sports
At Lenze’s Katowice office, there’s a ping-pong table available for employees. During breaks, they can enjoy a quick match — a great way to get the body and mind moving, and to boost the mood (especially if you win!). Our team members are also passionate about other sports disciplines.
Retiring with Lenze
Lenze Polska is a company where job stability is a daily reality. Over the past 30+ years, many employees have stayed with us for the long term — some for more than two decades! During this time, five team members have already moved on to a well-deserved retirement, after many years of dedication and contribution to the company’s growth.
