Szybex acquires Euro-Glas and strengthens its presence in southern Poland

0 Comments/

Szybex has signed an agreement to acquire Euro-Glas, a family-owned company from southern Poland operating in the vehicle glass repair and replacement. Szybex is one of the leading VGRR specialist in Poland and was acquired by Cary Group at the end of 2025. 

Szybex acquisition of Euro-Glas includes four service locations: two in Kraków, one in Tarnów and one in Rzeszów. Upon completion of the acquisition, the number of Szybex’s owned branches will increase from 15 to 19. Together with a network of over 200 partner locations, this provides full nationwide operational coverage and strengthens Szybex’s presence in southern Poland. 

Both Euro-Glas and Szybex were founded in 1992 and have spent over three decades building their operations on a similar model, local service points, quality workmanship, and direct customer relationships. 

“Euro-Glas is a company with very similar DNA, a family business built on quality and customer relationships. Integration within Szybex means we can combine their experience with more unified operational and quality standards, while maintaining high service quality. The acquisition also means that Szybex strengthens its nationwide coverage” says Wojciech Ossoliński, Deputy CEO at Szybex. 

“The decision to join Szybex was a natural step towards further development. We see this integration as a way to maintain the standards we have built over the years, while also opening up new opportunities for our team and our customers” says Robert Noga, owner of Euro-Glas. 

Euro-Glas will be integrated to the same operational model of Szybex with standardized service processes, quality control, and readiness to handle increasingly complex jobs, including ADAS calibration.  

The acquisition of Euro-Glas is another step in building a Polish nationwide, integrated service network operating under unified standards.

Cary Group commits to the SBTi Net-Zero Standard

0 Comments/

Cary Group aims to be an industry leader in climate action. The company is now taking the next step by committing to the SBTi Net-Zero Standard and setting a long-term ambition to achieve net-zero emissions across the value chain by 2050. 

 In 2023, Cary Group had its emission target for 2030 validated and approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) demonstrating that Cary Group’s planned emissions reductions align with the 1.5 °C pathway. Building on this foundation, it was a natural step to commit to the SBTi Net-Zero target.

 

“We are very pleased to take this step in reinforcing our commitment to reducing emissions. Since 2023, our near-term targets for 2030 have already been validated by the SBTi. Committing to Net-Zero sends a critical message to our customers, partners, and employees”, says Helene Gustafsson, Director Corporate Communications of Cary Group.

Working towards net zero under the SBTi framework means: 

  • Combining near-term targets with a long-term trajectory, ensuring continued progress towards 2030 while setting a clear direction towards 2050. 
  • Achieving substantial emission reductions across the entire value chain, with at least 90% of the total emissions to be reduced by 2050. 
  • Prioritising actual reduction, using carbon removals for only those emissions that cannot be further reduced. 
  • Including Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3, covering all emissions across operations and the value chain 

By adopting the Net-Zero Standard, Cary Group strengthens its long-term climate ambition and its work to reduce climate impact across the business.
