For companies looking to enter the CEE region through packing or manufacturing locally, we can manage the entire process of sourcing CoMan partners, production trials, negotiations and contracting. We can subsequently provide export management services in CEE and international markets.

Marek SCHEJBAL

Managing Director

Following an international career Marek arrived in Poland in 1994 to set up a division of a regional advertising network. After heading up GKK Direct (Mullen/Lowe) and then Ogilvy & Mather in Poland, he set up his own consultancy helping foreign companies enter the CEE region. This extended to sourcing and managing suppliers for B&Q, Castorama, Asda and Wal-Mart. Marek’s experience as delivery partner for the Department of International Trade (via British Polish Chamber of Commerce) 2014-2018 – helping British food/drink producers enter the Polish market – provided invaluable insights and contacts in the market.   Since then he has been exporting British products to the CEE region from UK; and managing international sales, marketing and contract manufacturing projects via a subsidiary in Poland. Marek and his team are best placed to service your needs.
