Marcin
Vice President of the Management Board, Commercial Director
with the company since 1999
I’ve been with the company since the… nineties! I started as regional sales manager responsible for the Poznań region (International Paper) in 1999, and already then I knew that I would stay “for longer”. Five years later, it was time for change – I moved to Warsaw and took up the position of Business Development Manager under the company’s ownership by Kimberly Clark. This was an interesting challenge linked to searching for market niches and business development opportunities. My next step was the post of Customer Business Manager (CBM): new products, new customers, and new experiences.
With the onset of 2010, I was tasked with a new mission and became responsible for the entire traditional market in Poland. In 2013, when Velvet CARE was established, I became Sales Director and Member of the Management Board. Today, I’m responsible for the commercial side of Velvet CARE: sales, marketing, as well as the category development department in Poland and in export markets. Although I’ve spent half my life working for the company and I know it “inside out”, I feel like I’m always developing. In Velvet CARE, I meet not only great professionals but above all exceptional and authentic people, who have always been the greatest value of this company, and for me personally a real inspiration (and sometimes also a real challenge).
Ewelina
Senior HR and Payroll Specialist,
with the company since 2018
My adventure with Velvet CARE started in July 2018. Before I joined our company, I was handling HR payroll in a large state administration company for several years. The HR and Payroll Division of Velvet CARE was the place where I started to work as a Junior HR and Payroll Specialist. I greatly value teamwork and I knew, from the very beginning, that the team I joined and have the pleasure of working with to this day, consists of excellent specialists in their respective fields and holds a great atmosphere.
The following years brought more changes in my career: first promotion to the position of Specialist and then Senior HR and Payroll Specialist. The work at Velvet CARE is not only an opportunity for ongoing development, but also for contacts, cooperation with other people and new experiences. All of this happens in the constant company of digits.
I am very happy that I can do the things I like within the structures of our company.
Grzegorz
Process Engineer,
with the company since 2019
I have been working at the Klucze paper mill since 2019, developing professionally within the Production Department (i.e. the company’s department that deals with tissue production on paper machines). I started as the 2nd Layer Operator, then a Beaterman, and then became a Paper Machine Attendant – Shift Supervisor. Papermaking interested me so much that I decided to expand my knowledge in this field by studying at the Łódź University of Technology. After graduating, I became a Process Engineer.
Before I came to Velvet CARE, I worked, among others, in a community center and in a production and service company when coating glass. But here, at Velvet CARE, I realized that tissue paper production is what my future involves. It’s really fascinating!
I combine my work at Velvet CARE with my interests – taking photos, cycling, running, paragliding and playing the guitar! I travel long distances with a camera in hand or a drone, and the effects can be admired on my SilverSky fanpage on Facebook.
It can be done! Good organization makes everything possible!
Łukasz
Technologist,
with the company since 2008
I started my adventure in paper mill in Klucze in the last year of my studies, and it was women’s day in 2008. I started from the position of 2nd operator on the folding lines, where I was later promoted to 1st operator. I also worked on other folding lines and occasional rewinding lines gathering further experience. During the 11 years I worked on the line, I was involved in many modernisations, training of other employees or creation of new formats and many optimisations. During this time, I was also Deputy Shift Leader in the converting department.
It may be strange for some, but “paper” is interesting to the extend that I decided to develop myself in this subject and in 2019 I completed a postgraduate degree at the Institute of Papermaking and Printing at the Technical University of Lodz. After a few months, I moved to the Technology Department as a Junior Technologist and then as a Technologist. I joined a great team, bringing my experience from the converting department and studies, and together we form a great team with broad competences.
