The people who created Erkado
-
Owner, Chairman of the Management Board
Zbigniew Kozłowski
He has been involved in the carpentry industry all his life, writing another page in the history of the family tradition. Undoubtedly, he is an unrivalled Authority and Leader in the practical application of knowledge about doors and the broadly understood joinery.
A man with vision! Bravely develops the company, personally overseeing the investments made.
A person with a charismatic personality, surrounded by a group of friends, colleagues and business partners, locally and globally. Always warm and sensitive, he equates the good and success of the Company with respect for the employee and his needs.
He says of himself: ‘Manufacturing doors is my mission in life and not a business’. This is true.

Vice-President, Managing Director
Mateusz Kozłowski
He successfully implements his Father’s vision, dynamically and consistently increasing the Company’s potential.
He is an advocate of innovative solutions, which he designs with a view to improving the offer. He actively supports the improvement of production processes and the implementation of modern methods and systems of work organisation.
Inspired by passion, he often travels, talks, discovers and acquires invaluable industry knowledge. In the Company’s management strategy, he avoids stagnation, believing that “every goal can be achieved”.
While demanding from others, he demands the most from himself.

Sales Director
Andrzej Szychowski
He joined the team in 2010, fitting in perfectly with Erkado’s new growth strategy. Since the beginning, he has been consistently building the structure of the Commercial Division, supporting the activities of Distributors and Authorised Points of Sale (APS). Andrzej’s professionalism, knowledge and experience have helped build lasting relationships with Customers.
His unconventional personality, diligence and commitment mean that even the most difficult tasks are crowned with success and, as he says, “the best is yet to come”. His well-considered and concrete decisions always benefit the wider cooperation.
A great Coach, Expert and Manager in one person.
-
Director of Exports
Radosław Bartochowski
He successfully negotiates in linguistically and culturally distinct markets using interpersonal skills and scientific knowledge. He communicates fluently in Polish, English, Russian and, as he emphasises, in human language.
Privately, he holds a PhD in social sciences in the field of political science and has been affiliated with the Rzeszów University of Technology for many years.
He constantly surprises, impresses with his commitment and enjoys the affection of his customers. His professionalism, iron discipline and cheerful disposition are reflected in Erkado’s expansion and in the fantastic atmosphere of cooperation with foreign partners.
Radek’s presence in the Erkado team is a great privilege.
