Progress Engineering · since 1995

From first structures to technology for farms across Europe

We didn't build the company on a short marketing campaign — we built it on relationships with farmers, deadlines, and making sure the installation would still be predictable years later. Ventra is the natural extension of that same philosophy: industrial reliability, care for bird welfare and a partner who stays with the investor after commissioning.

Where we come from and where we're going

Progress Engineering is a family company that has been growing in Bralin for over 25 years — with competencies that grew alongside client expectations. In the beginning it was about solid execution: accurate design, material that withstands rain and sun, and installation without 'surprises' on site.

Over time we added more layers: our own production facilities, surface treatment (including diffusion galvanising with Distek technology), plasma cutting, shot blasting and painting. These are not slogans — they are tools that let us maintain quality from the first beam to the last bolt.

Ventra was born from investors who want to combine production scale with responsible, modern husbandry. We design, manufacture and install in-house — because on a farm every detail counts.

What this means for the investor

It means one technology partner instead of five subcontractors. It also means operational peace of mind: we know the shed, the chicken house, the aviary — and we can integrate them so the whole makes productive sense.

  • Turnkey delivery: concept, documentation, production, installation, commissioning and training.
  • Scalability — from family farms to facilities with tens of thousands of layers.
  • Service and emergency response — because egg continuity is your business.
  • Export experience and work with distributor networks in Western Europe.

Company history

Milestones

1995–2000

Beginnings

Under the brand Progress Leszek Sawicki — light steel structures, first sheds and the conviction that 'cheap' without 'durable' makes no sense.

Technology

Technology development

Entry into mobile, foundation-free halls, poly tunnels and a broad metal processing park.

Quramo

Quramo & chicken houses

A line of modern mobile and stationary chicken houses under the Quramo brand — from small units to large flocks.

Today

One engineering organism

Over 220 employees, two factories in Poland, tunnel and hall brands alongside Ventra — one engineering organism.

Brand ecosystem

One group, many doors to the market

Ventra doesn't exist in a vacuum. We draw on the experience of sister brands: Quramo chicken houses, Progress Tunnels poly tunnels and Hale na Bale arch halls.

The common denominator is steel, tarpaulin and film manufactured with seasonality, wind and daily farm work in mind — not a one-time promotion.

Quramo — chicken houses that travel the world

Under the Quramo brand we offer Polish, family-owned mobile and stationary chicken houses for layers, chicks, broilers and other poultry species. The range includes seven types of units — from the smallest for family farms to large systems and individual projects for farms with up to around 100,000 birds.

Progress Tunnels — tunnels that extend the season

Progress Tunnels brings over two decades of experience in poly tunnels. We employ around 220 people and run two factories in Poland. We produce poly tunnels at a scale of up to approximately 10 hectares of floor space per month.

Engineering

Own design and technology department and hundreds of completed facilities — we know what works in the Polish climate and construction logistics.

Production

Large throughput capacity and machinery that allows maintaining investment pace without sacrificing precision.

Installation

Our own crews in the field — we don't outsource to 'an outside crew from a job portal', because the commissioning and warranty are our face.
