OKNOPLAST

Today, headed by Mikołaj Placek, son of the Group's founder, OKNOPLAST has succeeded in becoming a solid and recognized brand in its 22 years of existence, ranking among the leaders in the joinery sector in Europe. " We respond to market needs and invest heavily in state-of-the-art production tools, " explains Mikołaj Placek.

A global player, OKNOPLAST is present in 15 countries on the European continent (Austria, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Switzerland, Italy, Scandinavia, etc.) and is continuing its internationalization policy with new locations to come in America, Australia, the Maghreb, Portugal, Spain, etc. The export share currently represents 72%. 

With 1,5 million windows produced each year, the manufacturer has equipped the equivalent of the population of a city like Barcelona over the last six years.

Product quality at the heart of strategic thinking

Innovation and product quality are at the heart of OKNOPLAST's strategy. The company continually invests in R&D and cutting-edge facilities. The manufacturer has four production sites in Europe, covering a total area of 4 m². They are equipped with state-of-the-art machinery and high-performance manufacturing processes.

High-end, OKNOPLAST products meet the EN14351 standard and benefit from CE marking and Cerkal certification.

To meet growing demand and increased orders, the Group has invested in a new 20 m000 logistics center in Krakow, which will automate delivery preparation, and plans to double its production capacity by 2.

France, the group's leading export country

Established in Rennes since 2009, OKNOPLAST has experienced incredible growth in France with a turnover increasing from 2 million in 2010 to 40 million in 2016. The manufacturer has become a key player in France with an innovative, tailor-made and competitive offering. 

«France represents a real challenge for OKNOPLAST. We are making great strides to become the number one renovation company for individuals by 2018." explains Grégoire CAUVIN, CEO France.

OKNOPLAST is continuing its expansion across France, particularly in the Greater West region along the Caen/Toulouse axis. Furthermore, to support its growth and welcome new teams, OKNOPLAST has moved into new, larger premises in Cesson-Sévigné, Brittany. The French office represents a real challenge and a significant asset for continued growth throughout the country. In Rennes, nearly 40 people work daily with the brand's customers. A design office, technicians, a sales administration department, a marketing and communications team, and an ever-present sales force contribute to the company's development in France.

Tailor-made support for clients

Over the years, OKNOPLAST has developed a strong presence in the region with a structured and organized network of more than 750 business partners.

Highly committed to its customers, OKNOPLAST offers them unique, customized solutions to foster their growth. Throughout March, the manufacturer organized roadshows in Caen, Lille, Lyon, Marseille, Paris, and Strasbourg. These events aimed to support OKNOPLAST partners, present the technical aspects of new products, train them on all the brand's strengths, and introduce them to the sales support tools available to them.
