The factory began as a boilermaker’s plant making equipment for the oil, distilling and brewing industries. Transport came later, and by 1894 it was Poland’s most important maker of rail coaches, freight cars and tramcars, while it also built cisterns, cranes, dredgers, road rollers, steel lifeboats and bridges.
Today Autosan builds buses and coaches and sells them across Europe, Africa and Asia. Since 2022 it has been a branch of the Huta Stalowa Wola company.
