The INTAP company is a producer of high quality seats designed for buses, minibuses and special vehicles (ambulance, police, fire brigade).
We started in 1980 and we were developing step by step and it is still our goal. We want to improve in every aspect of our business, so that our car seats: buses, microbuses and special vehicles, eg ambulances; meet the expectations of users.

When the “wind of changes” started blowing, people began to makes a trips. Travel comfort started to be important in cars like:
– Polski Fiat 126p
– Skoda 105 L
– Dacia 1310
In that time Krzysztof Tobik made utility model for reclinable mechanism for seats these cars.
Story of our company began in October 1980, when Krzysztof Tobik made decision about starting his own company. First headquarter was in small garage- 24m2.
Before that Krzysztof Tobik achieved master’s license of locksmithing, so he could teach new apprentices.
Beginnig of the 80s was very hard due to historical and political difficulties. Problems with availability of raw materials and tools to run produce. Despite these problems, he decided to produce a “grzybek” stove and so-called “Trociniak”, which become a hit of these “strange” months. Next step was the production of tools for agriculture and artistic blacksmithing.
