Sebastian Paradowski - CEO Andrewex
The Andrewex Group consists of private, value-integrated entities that have been operating in the wood processing industry. With Polish roots, we operate internationally and pride ourselves in providing high-quality sawn timber, solid wood indoor and outdoor products, wooden construction prefabricated elements and related services to the Europe’s largest clients. The scope of the Group’s competence includes the production of solid wood furniture, do-it-yourself wooden components and garden decorations, large-size GLULAM structures, KVH timber, strength-graded sawn timber and prefabricated wooden modular buildings.
Andrewex was founded at the end of 80’s (almost 40 years ago) in Poland. In 1996, we were entered on the list of IKEA suppliers, and in 1997 became the leading player on the Polish market for large-size GLULAM structures market.
Grzegorz Lis - Director of planning and development
Our partner in optimizing management through ERP is InfoConsulting, who help us to increase efficiency by using IFS Applications. All companies of our Group constantly cooperate for the most effective management of raw materials and optimization of logistics processes, thanks to which we minimize operating costs and negative environmental impacts. Through effective knowledge management, we identify and take advantage of opportunities in target markets better and faster, which increases the pace of our development.
Direct deliveries of wood from Polish and Swedish forests to our 3 sawmills with a capacity of 430,000 m3. / year give us a solid raw material base for further development of our business. Over 1,200 qualified staff in 5 production plants, and a rich portfolio of investments support our strategic vision of development.
Environmental responsibility is essential for us. We obtain heating energy for production in 100% of our own low-emission sources using biomass. By 2026, over 1/3 of our total electricity needs will be covered by indoor PV installations.
InfoConsulting’s experts have comprehensive knowledge of the processes in our industry and have supported us in optimizing processes in the most important areas of the company, not only in production but also in logistics and finance.
The production process of the Andrewex Group is vertically integrated and value-oriented, which allows full use of the processed wood raw material. We use all wood waste and biomass to produce heat using internal installations with a negligible negative impact on the environment.
Mariusz Janowski - Director of operations
Decision-making managers need a comprehensive system for flexible and efficient decision-making in a dynamic market. That’s why we decided to implement the IFS system and use InfoConsulting’s advisory, implementation and maintenance services. Flexible production set-up was key for us. Andrewex’s advantages are experience, high quality, short time-to-market and profits from the scale of operations. It is the use of the IFS system that enables us to comprehensively manage our most important processes and achieve the best price-value ratio
The system we use provides us with the ability to manage operation centers located in several countries. This is important for us as we pursue our next steps on the path of international expansion.

Andrewex is not only our customer, but above all a partner with whom we develop tailor-made solutions perfectly suited to the company.

The IFS system primarily allows Andrewex to reduce costs, reduce human error, shorten decision-making processes, and speed up order processing.
Grzegorz Musiał - Vicepresident of InfoConsulting
InfoConsulting is a company that operates globally but also understands the importance of local conditions. We know what difficulties companies like Andrewex face as they gradually scale up their operations. Managing a family business in one country versus managing a multinational group with global aspirations required a major change in the approach to management and system development. Thanks to our experienced consultants, the system is constantly evolving, adapting to the client’s needs. It is very important to us that at Andrewex, business is strongly linked to environmental responsibility.
And we help make the most of such an environmentally valuable raw material as wood. Andrewex has developed its product offering far beyond wood furniture and is constantly looking for new prospective areas. I am sure that projects such as Prefabricated Wooden Modular Buildings and overseas acquisitions will be the next milestones in Andrewex’s development. I can assure you that we will continue to support this dynamic process with strong commitment.
