Bison Manual Lathe Chucks

About Bison

Founded in 1948, BISON is the largest manufacturer of technological tooling for machining in Poland and has been an industry world leader for many decades.

At its inception, the company manufactured both bench vices and machine vices and, in 1950, launched the production of lathe chucks. In the 60s and 70s, BISON-BIAL developed its existing manufacturing halls and established new plants in Bielsk Podlaski, Kolno and Bialystok. The company began focusing on exports and product quality became first-class. In 1972, the company was one of the first to introduce Computer Management Systems in Poland and computerization quickly became a cornerstone in all spheres of its activity.

During this time, half of BISON’s export production was devoted to the Soviet Union, its biggest customer, and the breach of relations in 1990 caused a crisis in the factory. The company overcame the crisis on its own and became a Joint Stock Company in 1991 and was privatized in 1997.
