- Koszalinskie Przedsiebiorstwo Przemyslu Drzewnego Spólka Akcyjna (KPPD) is a Poland-based company specializing in the wood processing industry, primarily engaged in the production and sale of sawn timber and wood products. It operates nine softwood sawmills producing approximately 250,000 cubic meters of pine timber annually and two hardwood sawmills producing about 30,000 cubic meters of beech and oak timber. The company manufactures value-added products including dried pine timber, softwood terrace boards (pine, larch), glued hardwood boards (beech, oak), cladding boards, rounded softwood timber, carpentry products, and timber for garden and railway infrastructure. KPPD serves a diverse domestic market (approximately 70% of sales), supplying building carpentry, furniture manufacturing, commercial warehouses, gardening program producers, glued timber suppliers, joineries, and surface impregnation clients. The remaining 30% of sales are exports mainly to European Union countries and Asia. The company operates its production facilities in the West Pomerania region of Poland, including sites in Szczecinek, Czaplinek, Drawsko Pomorskie, Kołacz, Wierzchowo, and Białogard. Founded in 1945 and headquartered in Szczecinek, Poland, KPPD is a significant European producer of processed timber for construction, furniture, and export markets.
In the last 1-2 years, KPPD has focused on modernizing its processing capabilities, emphasizing drying, planing, gluing, steaming, and pressure impregnation technologies to produce high-quality timber products. Notably, the company restructured certain operational units, including the liquidation of a warehouse division in Szczecinek in 2014, and has recently signed an insurance agreement with TUiR Warta S.A. in 2025 to protect its assets. KPPD's latest financial reports disclose a revenue stream of approximately 326 million PLN in 2024 with ongoing efforts to optimize cost and operational efficiency amid market challenges. The company has not reported major acquisitions or new product launches but continues to consolidate its market position through enhancing production technology and expanding export capabilities. KPPD maintains a workforce of about 825 employees and operates strategically within Poland and in key foreign markets to sustain growth in the timber manufacturing and distribution sector.
