PRESS RELEASE

On February 23 2026, Pyrotek acquired assets related to the acoustic & thermal division of MAAD Sp. z.o.o., based in Poland, further strengthening the position of Pyrotek in the European market for advanced noise control and insulation solutions.

The acquisition represents an important step in strengthening Pyrotek acoustic & thermal capabilities and expanding its presence in key markets across Europe and globally. It further reinforces Pyrotek’s position as a provider of advanced acoustic and thermal solutions for the transport, construction, HVAC, and industrial sectors.

MAAD developed recognised expertise in hydrophobic melamine foam technology engineered to meet stringent fire performance requirements, including EN 45545-2, while maintaining the thermal and acoustic performance characteristics associated with traditional melamine foam. These capabilities remain highly relevant to both the transport and HVAC industries and further strengthen the existing acoustic & thermal offering.

In addition to expanding Pyrotek portfolio and manufacturing capabilities, the acquisition brings valuable customer relationships, particularly within transport sector. Pyrotek has already begun supporting these customers through its integrated operations, ensuring continuity of supply, technical support, and service. As part of the acquisition, key expertise and know-how associated with the business have been retained within Pyrotek, supporting a seamless transition for customers and business partners. The integration of technologies, manufacturing capabilities, and customer support functions has been carefully managed to ensure continuity of supply, consistent product quality, stable lead times, and uninterrupted technical and customer support.

“This acquisition strengthens our acoustic & thermal portfolio, expands our customer base, and brings valuable technologies and expertise into Pyrotek,” says Jiří Kurečka, Operations & Business Manager for Pyrotek Acoustic and Thermal Europe. “It reinforces our position in the European transportation market while enhancing our ability to serve customers globally through Pyrotek’s engineering, manufacturing, and technical support network.”

With more than 50 years of experience in advanced Acoustic & Thermal solutions, operations in more than 35 countries, and over 3,000 employees worldwide, Pyrotek remains committed to delivering innovative solutions and long-term value to customers around the world.
