Attractive investment opportunity in the manufacturing sector of the wood industry. The company specializes in processing hardwood, mainly oak and ash. It is a family business, present on the market for over 40 years. Over four decades, the enterprise has grown by investing in expanding production capacity and adapting its offer to market expectations.
Location: Southwestern Poland. This location allows efficient sourcing of raw material from a wood-rich area within a 250 km radius and guarantees easy and quick access to major European transport routes and Baltic Sea ports in Poland and Germany.
Business Profile
Company activities
The company produces advanced semi-finished products from hardwood, mainly for the furniture industry. A secondary activity is the sale of lumber and oak friezes. The company primarily processes oak and ash wood. Production is based on a complete raw material processing chain: from independent purchase of roundwood, through sawing and drying, to final processing.
Key products:
- solid wood furniture panels;
- finger-jointed panels;
- glued elements for furniture manufacturing;
- blanks for turning;
- profiled furniture components.
Scale of operations and geography
Current production volumes:
- roundwood sawing: 300–400 m³ of hardwood per month;
- lumber production: 200–250 m³ per month;
- solid wood panel production: 40–60 m³ per month (thickness 18–30 mm);
- finger-jointed panel production: 20–40 m³ per month (thickness 18–30 mm);
- frieze production: 10–20 m³ per month.
Geographic reach:
- Poland — furniture and solid wood component manufacturers (approx. 60% of sales);
- EU countries — mainly large companies (approx. 40% of sales).
Market and Customer Base
The company operates in the premium segment of furniture and solid wood component manufacturers. This is a stable and promising sector with a well-developed customer base in the EU. The company is well recognized in the market, holds strong positions, and maintains long-term relationships with key clients.
Key customers: furniture manufacturers in Poland and EU countries, wholesalers of materials for furniture production, manufacturers of solid wood components, carpentry workshops, and contractors.
The existing machine layout and plant design are universal, allowing for the production of a wide range of solid wood products. Both hardwood and softwood can be processed and further transformed in many possible configurations. Small investments can significantly expand the current production spectrum.
Investment Advantages
Production capacity and efficiency: Current capacities are not fully utilized. Increasing production volumes is possible without significant capital expenditures on fixed assets.
Experienced workforce: The team consists mainly of long-tenured, highly experienced employees. Staff turnover is low. The management and administrative team has been with the company for many years and possesses deep industry expertise. Production mainly operates in a single shift, with two departments operating in two shifts.
Raw material supply: The company has a diversified raw material supply system and is not dependent on a single source. Raw materials are supplied by state and private forestry enterprises in Poland and abroad. The segment of purchasing ready-made semi-finished products is also being developed.
Growth potential is based on two areas:
- unused production capacity within the current structure;
- expansion of the product portfolio through relatively small investments.
There is available electrical capacity and free production space. Drying capacity can also be increased without upgrading the heat source, which has sufficient reserve capacity.
