This was announced by Garant – Möbel Holding International board member, Franz Hampel and GPKM President Andrzej Rybacki at the side line of the IMM Cologne. GPKM has 40 outlets in Poland.
Together, the joint venture will develop a concept that is Polish oriented and will help the association gain 120 members within next two years. “We are here to impose not an existing concept, but to look very carefully what is best for the Polish market ” said Franz Hampel . According to Andrzej Rybacki, GPKM has chosen GMHI as a partner because after numerous conversations, both have similar approaches in business.
