A family run company from eastern Poland has become a world leader in spare parts for a bedazzling list of producers including Ferrari, Aston Martin and Lamborghini.

ECPS, from Włodawa, a small town near the Belarusian and Ukrainian border, has gained international clientele and a strong reputation in the prestige motor industry for their hand-made carbon fibre parts. Initially established in 1990 as Auto-West by Mariusz Pastryk, who was then joined in the company by his wife Renata, it is now run by their son Michał and his wife Irmina.

The firm has had orders for parts from America, Brazil, Italy, Singapore, South Africa and UAE to name a few.ECPS/Instagram

“At the beginning, our company sold parts for ordinary cars but our dreams have always revolved around premium brands,” Renata Pastryk, co-owner of ECPS, told the newspaper Dziennik Wschodni. “When we told our friends in Włodawa that we would repair Lamborghini, Maserati, Ferrari, Bentley, Aston Martins and produce spare carbon parts for such cars, they advised us not to. They said it was impossible and would end in a flop.”

Not only did the gamble not end in a flop, the small team of less than 15 have gone on to get customers from around the world. The firm has had orders for parts from America, Brazil, Italy, Singapore, South Africa and UAE to name a few. The company even boasts on their website: “We have introduced and developed production technology of carbon elements of the highest quality materials available on the market, so we produce items that are of a higher quality than the original Ferrari, Maserati or Aston Martin.”

“When you need original parts and they can be hard to find because there are few such cars around the world,” Mariusz Pastryk said, referring to the world’s most expensive car, the Ferrari 250 GTO. It was produced between 1962 and 1964 with a version from 1963 being sold for $70 million in 2018. “We managed to create an impressive collection of parts because at one point we decided to take over the inventory of such parts from those who were retiring from our industry. The news about our acquisitions spread quickly among the community, increasing our prestige. Those who were looking for such parts knew that they should look for them with us.”

In 2018 the company made it onto the list for the top ranking firms from Lubelszczyzna, their region in Poland. The company’s income for 2018 was reported to be PLN 2.3 million PLN, a growth of about half a million on the previous year. The company is going from strength to strength and it is something the owners put down to their unique vision.

“Today, our company is recognised worldwide,” said Pastryk. “Every day we send goods to several continents. After all, we are the third largest company in Europe in terms of the inventory of automotive parts. Over the years we have developed very good contacts in the automotive world and have some of the best prices for new parts. Thanks to the knowledge and experience of our crew, we professionally repair cars, rebuild them, create carbon elements as additional equipment, which gives cars even greater prestige. Carbon is a luxury good in the automotive industry and significantly increases the value of the car, while giving it character, originality and uniqueness.”

The company is not stopping there though, and is looking into making carbon fibre furniture inspired by the cars they repair but there are no solid dates about when these products will reach the market.
