What LAKMA does

LAKMA is a Polish chemical manufacturer, founded in 1988/1989 and headquartered in Cieszyn, that produces household cleaning chemicals, professional B2B cleaning chemicals, and construction chemicals through two operating subsidiaries — Lakma Strefa (Warszowice, household and professional B2B chemicals) and Lakma SAT (Cieszyn, B2B construction chemicals and insulation systems) — alongside a private-label / contract manufacturing business serving retailers' own brands. The portfolio is structured as a multi-brand ecosystem: SIDOLUX (flagship household cleaning brand on the Polish market since 1993, fully rebranded in 2022), Perlux (laundry and stain-removal), Silux (economic household), Lakma Pro (professional B2B lines for facilities, gastronomy, hotels, and disinfection), FGuardi (construction chemicals) and LakmaTerm (thermal insulation systems).

The company's underlying technical platform combines a modern production machinery park, an in-house R&D laboratory for formulation, and a fully automated high-bay warehouse with WMS-based logistics in Warszowice (4,500 m², 16,000+ logistics units, 99.8% on-time fulfillment, 0.002% picking errors). LAKMA monetizes through three revenue streams: branded consumer chemicals sold via retail and own e-commerce (sklep-sidolux.pl, sklep.fguardi.com.pl), B2B field sales of professional cleaning and construction chemicals through regional technical-commercial advisors covering Polish voivodeships, and contract manufacturing of retailer own-brand household chemicals via Lakma Strefa.

LAKMA is privately held with no disclosed external investors or ownership changes, operates wholly-owned market entities in Czech Republic (Prague), Slovakia (Žilina), and Germany (Bremen), and an exclusive representative in Ukraine (Orfey Company Ltd, Stryy), serving household consumers, professional cleaning buyers (hospitality, food service, healthcare, facility management), construction industry contractors, and retail chains requiring private-label production across Central Europe.
