Werbau (legal name: Werbau Werema Sp. k.) is a privately held Polish building materials distributor established in 2005, headquartered in Suchy Las near Poznań.

Distribution agreements are held with major manufacturers including Rockwool, Lafarge (Holcim), Knauf, Sika, Soprema, Protan, Gor-stal, Pozbud, Botament, Alpol, and Termoorganika.

Werbau monetizes through distribution markups on direct manufacturer-to-customer deliveries, with no disclosed subscription or licensing component. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales, organized into 12 regional commercial departments across Poland plus a Germany division led by Carlos Bobbert, with specialized sales units for industrial investments, energy-efficient construction, prefabricated construction, and biofuels. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Named enterprise customers include Panattoni, Goldbeck, Rex-Bud, Trasko, Atlas Ward, Gestamp, TZMO, Waimea Holding, Action, and BMW/Jaguar/Land Rover. The company holds recognition including Gazele Biznesu 2022 (second consecutive year) and Diamenty Forbesa 2023, and is a member of SEDG (Stowarzyszenie Energooszczędne Domy Gotowe) since April 2023.
