Innovator & CEO
PHU SADDAR
SADDAR is a family-owned company operating successfully for over 30 years on the Polish and international markets. In
2004, the founder of the company, Mr. Dariusz Sadowiński, developed and implemented into
production an original project on a global scale – the SADDAR composite
Eco-anchors system based on a proprietary design and an innovative idea of using the glass fibre reinforced PET
composite in the production process. The product had not just set new directions of the company’s business
development, but above all it became the industry star, gaining recognition among customers all over
the world.
.
The basic raw material – PET plastics – used for production comes from the recycling of plastic bottles, thus placing the production process of SADDAR Eco-anchors and the company among organizations that are highly committed to respecting the natural
environment and operating according to the principles of a circular economy. The system
solutions offered by SADDAR are widely used, among others as mounting components of
fencing systems, in wooden garden architecture, photo voltaic farm systems or in the civil construction industry. The anchors may be driven, screwed-in and screwed-down to almost
any type of ground or surface. They are widely used in the EU and the USA. Installation is quick and environmentally friendly: with no cement or the need to adapt the ground using heavy equipment. If necessary, the systems may simply be moved to another location without any damage to the environment.
The hegemony of steel anchor manufacturers and suppliers that was the case hitherto has been successfully broken by the original solution of the Polish company
PHU SADDAR Dariusz Sadowiński – conquering Western Europe and the United States.
Our goal is to provide an ideal eco-friendly product that will make a significant
contribution to the environment protection. With a production rate
of 1.5 million units per year and a consumption of 20 bottles per Eco-
anchor, we can recycle as many as 30 million plastic bottles.
