Zych - Zakłady Organowe
History...

The company was set up in 1967 by Jan Zych ( born 1935 ), who has made his first steps in organmaster in 1958. In 1967 he started workFirst organs by himself in a very small newly built works of 24 m². At first he performed organparts for other companies, first of all inflatable playtables. The company developed very slowly. In 1975 constructed the first new organ, with 10 voices. In moderation of receiving new orders, the works became to small. To prevent the tightness in the middle seventies was bulit a new, modest room of 10 m². In 1982 Dariusz Zych, electronic by profession started his work in the company with the help of his father. The old inflatable tracture was changed into electric. The company still developed and again was running of the workshop area. In 1984 was built a new room of 35 m² and in the In organssame time the company got a very big order for the organ with 38 voices. The reception oh this instrument was made one year later by Prof. Feliks R?czkowski. The record listed then bacame a card for the company, which earlier has made 12 instruments. In the big number of orders in 1989 the workshop made also the magnification and modernization of the organ in the cathedral in ?owicz. Almost immediatelly after works, the investor of which was the bishop of ?owicz, Józef Zawitkowski, were finished, started the International Organ Festival with the name of Jan Sebastian Bach. The organ concerts in the cathedral in ?owicz became famous and it was connected with the next big order for the organ with 44 voices for the St. Joseph catholicBuilding of the company churche in Kielce. The work was finished in 1990. The increasing number of orders and employement were the cause of the decision to do the third redevelopment of the company, to 130 m². At the time company performed many big instruments. The political and economic changes in the beginning of nineties helped us to get hold of the western comapnies. As a result of this cooperation we implemented a new mechanic tractur according to the best examples. In 1995, in the case of lack of the possibility of further redevelopment of the existing workshop Prospectwe decided to bulit an organ plant in the Lipi?ska Str.110 in Wo?omin. The work was finished in November 1996. A breakthrough in our trade was the introduction of the mechnical tracture. Nowadays we have 12 employees and a big numer of collaborators in the coutry and abroad. The high quality of the instruments, what is confirmed by the written opinions of virtuoses of organ play and musucians, has opened for us the foreign trades. On the commision of the cardinal Kazimierz Swi?tek we worked in Belorussian and in 2001 we made a 27 voices organ for the catholic cathedral in Taegu ( South Corea ). Our work is also the 65 voices organ in the All Saints Churche in Warsaw. Nowadays we are working on the biggest polish organ with 156 voices in the Basilic in Liche? close to Konin. We are also working on the biggest instrument, with 71 voices, in Warsaw, in the Church Bl.
