Seargin sp. z o.o. from Gdańsk – a provider of engineering and IT services – is opening a research and development unit in Słupsk. The unit will develop technological innovations for the industrial sector.
Polish company Seargin specialises in the development of customised control and monitoring systems, machine vision systems, digital twins, cyber security, big data, systems for the use of artificial intelligence and digital transformation, and SAP consulting. It is one of Europe’s fastest growing providers of engineering and IT services, recognised three times by the Financial Times (FT-1000). It provides services to clients from various sectors and regions of the world.
Success also requires putting a desk together
Seargin was founded in 2014 by three people. The company’s first headquarters was a flat combined with a garage. It was there that they worked to develop the start-up, solicit the first clients and recruit IT specialists. At the same time, the founders did a number of other activities necessary for the young company’s operation – assembling furniture, cleaning, shoveling snow or setting up equipment. Passion and commitment bore fruit and by 2017 the company already had its first branches outside the country. Today, Seargin has 700 employees in 8 locations: Poland, Switzerland, UK, USA, Malaysia, Spain, Germany and Hungary. 2023 records the opening of the second branch in the Pomeranian Voivodeship, in Słupsk.
– Although we started in a garage without an investor, through hard work we have achieved our current success. We are very excited about the opening of our R&D Engineering branch in Słupsk. Poland has great engineers and talented specialists. Our presence in Słupsk will enable us to better serve our customers by providing innovative engineering solutions of the highest quality – says Jakub Wojewski, CEO of Seargin.
Słupsk as an attractive point on the business map
With the opening of further branches abroad, Seargin continues to recognise the economic potential of the region. The opening of the R&D Engineering unit in Słupsk confirms this. The city authorities attach great importance to creating convenient business infrastructure and conditions for technological development. At the “Direction Slupsk” conference, organised by the Pomeranian Regional Development Agency and Invest in Pomerania and held in February 2023, local stakeholders presented a number of specific measures to attract business and support the local community.
– The appearance of another high-tech investor in Słupsk a is proof that the chosen direction of the voivodeship’s development is the right one. Seargin carries out very advanced projects and needs high-class specialists. The presence of such companies is a chance for development and interesting work for residents of the region who have education and competencies in the area of modern technologies – says Mieczysław Struk, Marshal of the Pomeranian voivodeship.
Seargin has chosen the Słupsk Technology Incubator, managed by the Pomeranian Regional Development Agency, for its new headquarters. The company plans to employ several dozen people in the Słupsk branch over the next year, including programmers, software engineers and data analysts.
Global experience for a new quality of local education
Sergin has built a highly qualified team and amassed a wealth of international experience. It brings this capital to the collaboration with the Pomeranian University. The university plays an important role in supplying specialists to the local labour market. The cooperation between the school and business is constantly developing and producing tangible results. Seargin is involved in teaching students and creating internship programmes, creating practical topics for engineering work. In addition, the company plans to be actively involved in the construction of the Pomeranian University’s innovation centre.
