About Us
ERKADO is one of the largest door manufacturers in Poland and Europe, employing nearly 1,000 people across three modern production facilities located in Gościeradów, Radom, and Chwałowice. The company, which will celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2026, achieved an impressive annual output of over 890,000 doors in 2024.
Welcome to the world of Erkado, where since 1976 we have been passionately producing doors that not only separate spaces, but above all define and enhance them. We are a proud Polish family-owned company headquartered on the border of the Lublin and Podkarpacie regions, delivering innovative and aesthetically refined interior and exterior doors to homes and buildings around the world.
Our history spans more than forty years of growth, an unwavering pursuit of perfection, and a deep understanding of our customers’ needs. From humble beginnings to becoming one of the leading door manufacturers, Erkado has consistently focused on combining traditional craftsmanship with modern production methods. We are proud that these efforts have made us one of the largest door manufacturers in Poland and Europe.

Automation and precision in door manufacturing

Automated production lines and precise machining systems guarantee repeatability, consistency and the highest quality of workmanship for each component.
Automation allows us to produce over 80,000 doors per month, while maintaining full control over the process and eliminating factors that could negatively affect the final result. Thanks to automation, we can offer products that meet the highest standards in terms of both technical and aesthetic qualities.

He constantly surprises, impresses with his commitment and enjoys the sympathy of his audience. His professionalism, iron discipline and cheerful disposition translate into the expansion of Erkado and a fantastic atmosphere of cooperation with foreign partners.
Radek’s presence in the Erkado team is a great privilege.
Our annual production now exceeds 890,000 doors, making us one of the largest employers in the region with nearly 1,000 employees in three modern production plants. What is more, by investing PLN 160 million in recent years, we are able to meet the highest market standards and customer expectations.
Record sales results
Our financial results clearly confirm our success. Revenues increased from PLN 362.7 million in 2022 to PLN 431.7 million in 2023. In 2024, we achieved a record PLN 527.8 million. This more than 45% increase in just two years is the result of consistent investment in quality, innovation and expansion into foreign markets. As a leading door manufacturer, the ERKADO group has production plants in Gościeradów, Radom and Chwałowice. As a well-known door manufacturer, the company has gained the trust of customers in many markets. The result is even more impressive, reaching a record level of PLN 669,407,715. This is undoubtedly confirmation of the brand’s strong position and the effectiveness of its business strategy.
Exports and global presence
The development of our business outside the country is a fundamental pillar of our company’s growth strategy. The unique and distinctive design of our door solutions is gaining acceptance among buyers on the global stage, while our position on foreign markets is steadily strengthening.
Our international expansion began in the Czech Republic, and today our products are sold in dozens of locations around the world. It is our position as a leading door manufacturer that allows us to achieve success in global markets. European markets generate the largest share of our revenue, but customers in North America are increasingly turning to our solutions. We consistently monitor consumer behaviour in all markets, systematically participating in global industry events, including UK Construction Week in London and trade fairs organised by the GEDICOOP group, one of France’s leading distributors of building materials in Bordeaux.
