Andrewex

What Andrewex does

Andrewex sp. z o.o. is a Polish family-owned wood processing group headquartered in Tuliszków, operating 3 sawmills with combined annual round-wood capacity of 900,000 m³ and 5 specialized processing plants across Poland, plus a Swedish subsidiary (Andrewex Tvärslog Timber AB) acquired in 2016. Revenue is generated primarily through B2B sales of mass-produced wooden indoor and outdoor furniture, garden and DIY articles, and large-dimension structural timber — glued laminated BSH and constructive solid KVH elements up to 40 m in length — supplied to tier-1 international retailers including IKEA, Kingfisher group (Castorama, B&Q, Brico Depot), OBI, BAUHAUS, and ARGOS, as well as to construction companies for projects including modular housing, sports halls, bridges, and industrial facilities. The technology base relies on 3-, 5-, and 12-axis CNC machining, CAD/CAM-integrated programming, multi-method surface finishing (UV, hydrodynamic spray, flowcoating, Airmix), and certified glulam production under EN-14080:2013 with cyclical expert control from the Otto Graf Institute at Stuttgart University, plus SEDEX ethical-trade membership that supports retailer vendor onboarding.

The group operates three product programs: a Furniture Program serving major retailers with CNC-finished solid-wood and mixed-material (metal, plastic) indoor and outdoor furniture; a Garden and DIY Program of dried-wood fencing, planters, and DIY articles sold through wholesale and an in-house e-commerce storefront (sklep.andrewex.com.pl) with Polish and German customer service; and a Construction Program delivering KVH/BSH structural timber plus the proprietary MODUL ONE wooden residential module technology co-developed with TEC Architecture and Arup Deutschland GmbH. Pricing is conducted via direct B2B negotiation with major retail and construction buyers, not through public pricing; raw-material access is anchored by an exclusive supply partnership with Lasy Państwowe (Polish State Forests), and the business carries out environmental initiatives including 200 kWp of in-house photovoltaic generation and reported 25,000 tons/month of CO₂ sequestration.

Revenue is not publicly disclosed and there is no external institutional ownership, no funding rounds, and no IPO. The company is controlled by the Opłatek family (Andrzej Opłatek and Andrzej Opłatek Jr. signed on behalf of the group in 2022), operates across Poland, Sweden, and selected European markets, and has signalled forward expansion into German residential development via the MODUL ONE / Schwäbisch Gmünd project partnered with Thallos AG and Lakeward Management AG.
