What Pph Ewa-bis Sp. Z O.o. does

PPH Ewa-Bis Sp. z o.o. (trading as EwaBis) is a privately held Polish production-and-trading company founded in 1987 in Warsaw by Marek Marzec, specializing in the wholesale export of fresh fruits and vegetables. The company sources from a network of more than 120 Polish growers concentrated in the Mazovia region — particularly Grójec County, the heart of Polish apple production — and supplies tier-1 European retail chains including Kaufland, REWE Group, Carrefour, Lidl, Auchan, SPAR, Biedronka (Jerónimo Martins), and DINO, as well as importers, distributors, processors, and HORECA buyers across more than 70 countries in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, South America, and Canada. Core product lines are apples (over 20 varieties including Gala, Idared, Jonagold, Golden Delicious, Red Delicious, Mutsu — over 70,000 tonnes exported annually), pears (year-round via controlled-atmosphere storage), seasonal berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, plums), and a broad fresh vegetable assortment; both conventional and organic (Bioekspert-certified) streams are offered.

The operating model is built around an industrial substrate of modern packing lines (capable of punnet, carton, bag, tray, and bulk formats with multi-truck-per-day throughput), controlled-atmosphere storage chambers, batch-level traceability from orchard to end customer, and multi-modal refrigerated logistics (road, sea, air). Compliance with IFS Broker, GLOBALG.A.P., GRASP, and ISO 9001:2015 provides the audit posture needed to access stringent European retail tender processes. Sales is conducted by a multilingual direct sales team (English, Russian, German, Arabic), supported by an export department handling documentation, customs coordination, and customer service. Trade fair participation at Fruit Logistica (Berlin) and Fruit Attraction (Madrid) is the primary relationship-building channel, supplemented by a bilingual website, LinkedIn, and Facebook presence.

Commercially, EwaBis generates transaction-based wholesale revenue priced per order against volume, product, variety, packaging format, and destination market; both conventional and organic streams are sold through the same channel, with organics commanding a pricing premium. In June 2025, long-tenured Key Account Director Paweł Napiórkowski (joined 2013, from a multi-generational Warka fruit-growing family) was elevated to Partner and Member of the Management Board, consistent with a generational handover alongside founder Marek Marzec. The EWA-BIS Group of Companies extends the parent into Ukraine and Canada, though the bulk of operations and disclosed scale sit in Poland.
