History

It was established in 1938 in the Second Polish Republic. It was a part of a series of investments made by the Polish government from 1936–1939 to create the Central Industrial Region. This was to be a group of factories built in the middle of the country, away from the borders with Germany and the USSR. It was designed to provide a reasonably secure location for the production of armaments and high technology goods.

The mill manufactured high alloy steels and weaponsШаблон:Snd artillery and heavy machine gunsШаблон:Snd in 1937. A city grew around the mill, and took its name from the town of Stalowa Wola.

In the 1960s and 1970s the company started production of heavy construction machinery, and in the 1980s, it was one of the major centers of resistance to the government (see 1988 Polish strikes). In 1991 Huta Stalowa Wola became a joint stock company.

It is the town's major employer.

On 1 February 2012, HSW SA sold its civilian construction machinery division to Guangxi Liugong Machinery.

In 2012, HSW bought Jelcz-Komponenty Sp. z OO.
