1990-2000
Mariusz and Anna Kurczewski, still students at the Lodz University od Technology, opened a knitting shop. Initially, they operated out of their children’s room and later moved to a garage on Grunwaldzka Street in Lodz. On the fence, they hung a board with a proud inscription: “MACHINE KNITTING”.
They handled the production themselves using manual machines. After a few months, electric machines and the first employees appeared.
In the following years, they changed the location several times due to the constantly increasing demand for space for the constantly growing plant.To meet the enormous demand of the 1990s, the company continually bought new machines and increased the number of employees. „…We buy machines from bankrupt cooperatives and production plants left over from the previous system. We hire professionals from those factories, learn knitting and business…” – they jointly recall the beginnings.
