With deep regret we inform you that on September 6, 2024, the founder of VANSTAR Mr. Leszek Szostak passed away. He will always remain in our memory as a wonderful Man, Teacher and Friend.

His passing is an irreparable loss for us. More than 30 years ago he launched a company producing exhaust systems for vehicles of the native STAR brand and VANSTAR was born. The company for him was a second home. He gave it the right shape and direction and later entrusted the reins to the current owner - his son Paul, putting a huge amount of knowledge and trust in him.
Mr. Leszek as Chief was not only a man who provided jobs for us but was a man respected and valued for his respect for the company and its employees. He was interested in the fate of his employees and showed support whenever they needed it. With his wit, he knew how to improve humour, break the ice and unite generations. He always aimed high and thanks to him the Company became so strong. He was present at VANSTAR even after it was handed over to his successor.
Outside the Company he was a man of many passions, a devoted Husband, a wonderful Father, an unforgettable Grandfather, an extraordinary Friend.
He will always remain in our hearts and memory.

Mister Leszek! Rest in peace!
