Family businesses are a pillar of the economy, not only in Poland. Let's have a look at our mighty neighbour, Germany who is often put up like a model to be followed. In Germany, the 1000 largest family businesses generate EUR 1.73 trillion in turnover (data for 2017) and offer 7.2 million jobs. In Austria, almost 80% of companies are family businesses.
Why do family businesses have such potential to succeed? Because, as they say about themselves, they are super flexible. The highly competitive market of small and medium-sized companies is constantly teaching us how to act quickly and adapt to customer needs! So, a family business is a reliable, trustworthy and flexible partner.
In 2015, our company took part in a large-scale EU-funded project for the development and integration of Polish family businesses. Thanks to this project, we have had a chance to get to know other Polish family businesses, their problems and challenges, as well as to develop a vision and strategy for the future. Consequently, our company has changed its legal form in the meantime.

Our in-house team is composed not only of family members. Even without blood ties we strive to treat every employee as a family member. Employees are our greatest asset! We can be proud of a very tightly-knit team, playing to one goal, a team of hard-working, reliable, loyal and cultural people helping one another. This team is our strength!
