Who we are

Tradition and experience

125 YEARS
OF WORKING WITH WOOD

is not only a source of pride for us, but above all a commitment to our customers and business partners.

Formerly in a carpenter’s workshop, later in a sawmill and roof truss plant, and today also providing comprehensive solutions for prefabricated timber frame houses – wood in various forms has always been a basic building material for us, which we have learned to treat properly. We know that it can be capricious when wet and doesn’t protest when you cut it unskillfully. Many years of experience allow us to handle this difficult material with mastery, bringing out the best of it. It is this knowledge and competence that allows us to achieve an unrivalled quality that cannot be achieved with only state-of-the-art technological infrastructure, and without capital of people

OUR VISION

We are an expert and partner in the market of prefabricated timber constructions. Our employees and partners co-create the company’s competence and value. We aim to change people’s thinking about wood, appreciating and choosing it as a material that is a more attractive, healthier and environmentally friendly alternative to masonry technologies. We dream of a Poland made of wood: more durable than of stone, healthier than of concrete and more modern than of glass.

OUR MISSION

In 125 years of working with wood, we have gained an unwavering confidence that wood is a solid, durable and unique building material,
that can solve many of the challenges faced by developers or private investors today.
Therefore, every day we provide comprehensive solutions in the field of prefabricated timber structures in construction.
We respond to the needs of our customers and business partners based on partnership and trust. We share knowledge and best practices, which allows us to develop and improve the quality of the services and solutions we provide.

OUR VALUES

These three values are embedded in the DNA of our company and are the foundations on which we base our business. They are closely interlinked, as they take into account the needs of our customers and business partners as much as those of our employees.

DEVELOPMENT

we focus on improving our knowledge and competence, which allows us to meet the needs of our business partners and achieve our own goals.

COMPETENCE

means communicating transparently with customers, sharing knowledge, experience
and ideas with them, and dispelling with honesty and integrity any doubts about wood as a sustainable and ecological building material.

PARTNERSHIP

we build relationships based on cooperation, mutual trust and respect. We actively listen, support, provide knowledge and motivate to develop.

OUR GREATEST
AND MOST UNIQUE ASSET ARE PEOPLE

Their competencies, skills, knowledge and experience are the source of enormous potential that must not only be exploited, but above all – appreciated. That is why values such as inspiring others with passion, motivating the team, searching for new ways, better approaches, opportunities and possibilities are important to us in our everyday work. We know that excellence is a process, in which you cannot stop. It involves all spheres of the company’s activity, i.e. increasing competence and acquiring knowledge, investing in machinery and technology, expanding the product offer and taking care of good and sustainable relations with business partners.

History

History

125 YEARS

To recall the beginnings of our company, you have to go back more than 125 years. In 1895 Stanisław Burkietowicz with his own hands built a carpenter’s workshop in Odolanów at Kaliska street, and it was here that the first chapter of the history was written, which is now being continued by the fourth generation of Burkietowicz family.

However, the tradition of carpentry in the family goes back even further, as Stanisław’s father, Adam, was also a carpenter, who passed on his passion and knowledge to his son. As a dignified successor to his father, Stanisław was an active and respected craftsman, and continuing the generational traditions, he also passed on the love of carpentry to his children. His son Józef passed his journeyman’s exam in 1937 and began working in his father’s workshop in Odolanów.

During the war, the workshop was taken over by the Germans, and after the war the communist authorities nationalised it – only in 1956, after many efforts made by Józef Burkietowicz, it was won back. Over the next 39 years Józef, who was continuously at the head of the company, trained 49 apprentices and, like his father before him, focused strongly on development, upgrading machinery park and improving production.

In 1970 Józef’s son Marek started working in the family business, gaining carpentry knowledge both under his father’s tutelage and at the Wood Industry Technical School in Jarocin. He received his journeyman’s diploma in 1983 and at the same time began working in the timber industry. Until the symbolic year 1989, the sawmill was run by the owner alone and was mainly used as a carpenter’s workshop, but in times of change the needs also changed. From being a service business, the sawmill changed to a production business, which involved hiring new employees and investing in equipment.

While he was still studying at the Faculty of Wood Technology, Marek’s son Bartosz also joined the company, followed by his brother Marcin. In the meantime, the company’s development has gathered pace: in 2002 the production of roof trusses was launched, and four years later the new sawmill in Tarchały was put into operation.

Today, the company is managed by Marcin Burkietowicz and Bartosz Burkietowicz, and is located at Kaliska street in Odolanów, in the same place where their ancestor Stanisław opened his small carpenter’s workshop years ago.

Who we support

Who we support

CARING FOR ORGANISATIONAL CULTURE

for us means not only high standards of conduct towards our business partners – customers and employees. It is also about social commitment and active involvement in various charity initiatives and support for local projects. We know that only a business that is socially committed allows the company to become deeply rooted and to function smoothly and without conflict within the community. In this respect, we are active in various areas.

NOBLE GIFT ("SZLACHETNA PACZKA")

For several years now, we have been actively participating in the activities of the Noble Gift, which is one of the most recognisable voluntary programmes in Poland. We support families in need who have found themselves in a difficult situation for various reasons, as well as seniors or people with disabilities.

LOCAL SPORTS TEAMS

A significant part of our voluntary activities is focused on supporting local initiatives. We regularly provide financial assistance to our sports teams, including footballers from MLKS Odolanovia, table tennis players from LKS Tajfun or kickboxers from the “Center-Team” Combat Sports Association.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

For us, running a business that practice corporate social responsibility means taking into account many aspects of the company’s activities. In addition to our involvement in various social initiatives, the application of fair market practices and a high corporate culture, we also attach great importance to caring for the environment. What does this mean in practice?

WE USE ONLY CERTIFIED RAW MATERIAL

from State Forests, thus supporting sustainable forest management in our country. At the same time, by eliminating the need for long-distance transport, we reduce the carbon footprint.

WE USE EVERY LOG TO THE LAST WOODCHIP

From start to finish, we participate in the entire product development cycle. From each log we produce timber, structural timber, planks and battens. Some of the bark, woodchips and sawdust we use for our own purposes (e.g. heating the timber drying kiln) and resell the rest, where it is processed into valuable biomass. In this way, every ‘by-product’ of production is utilised. Advanced machine park and investment in equipment to optimise the wood cutting and sawing processes mean that we keep wood losses to a minimum, thus not only increasing the profitability of our own production, but also contributing to the protection of the environment.

ZERO WASTE POLICY

Corporate social responsibility is also about implementing solutions that, at first sight, may look like small and insignificant steps. In order to reduce the amount of waste generated on our premises, we have replaced plastic bottles with water dispensers and bidons for employees. We also promote recycling and provide regular training for our staff in this area to raise awareness of the impact our decisions have on the environment. We are also investing in the infrastructure at our plant – one example being the photovoltaic panels mounted on the roof, which allow us to generate electricity from a clean and inexhaustible source such as the sun.
