Inter Cars does not chase companies from Western Europe. It sets the pace and the direction in which it is going. Today is the fifth in Europe and tenth in the world distributor of automotive spare parts. One of the biggest Polish companies with unfailing development potential.

Each era has its heroes. And history is formed by those who can find their place in history and take advantage of the chance given. Political changes in Poland, which we have experienced 25 years ago, opened our country for the world. They created unprecedented opportunities for development. Thanks to them, Inter Cars - the company which was founded as a small shop with automotive spare parts in the late 70s, today has become a world leader in automotive parts distribution. Its annual sales revenues reach up to PLN 3.5 billion. And with the latest investments in Logistic Centre in Zakroczym it is planning to double the result very soon.

Reality wizard

Inter Cars is almost 6 thousand people in different areas of Europe. What links them? - Political changes gave Poles great opportunities, but also caused many fears. This is obvious, every change is a source of concern. We managed to transform this concern into a commercial success. We were not fighting against reality. We decided to co-create it. And in this way, year by year, we have been building our presence in each of the markets" - says with pride Robert Kierzek, CEO of the Company.

Important investments

Inter cars, Stock Exchange Company of the Year 2013, is developing very fast. It is now building in Zakroczym the most modern in Europe logistic centre in automotive industry. Technological giant will allow the company to take the leading position of even larger part of the automotive spare parts distribution market. By sending 0.5 million goods daily, the Company shall double its financial income and open to new markets, and investments in the e-commerce area are already bring better and better results.

Chain leader

Inter Cars Group wants to become an aftermarket leader in automotive sector in Europe. There is still a huge market area to be taken, which is occupied by the thousands small entities. Skilfully executed development strategy, potential and competitiveness of the Company will certainly help to achieve this goal, and modern It and Logistic technologies without a doubt will serve its purpose. As today Inter Cars is operating on the Internet with really good efficiency.

Partnership and business relationships

- Our success is not just being the market leader" - says Krzysztof Oleksowicz, founder and Member of the Board of Inter Cars. - Our real success are excellent business relationships, which Inter Cars built with suppliers and customers. The idea of partnership and desire to learn new things that we have made a real business advantage made us a market leader - adds Oleksowicz.

Truly common company

Inter Cars is a fairly unusual structure. Employees cannot be accused of corporate stiffness nor lack of business flexibility. What do they think about themselves? Where do they find source of success and good forecasts for the future? - Employees of Inter Cars form a corporate DNA, bearer of company values and chain of links that are revolving around a common aim" - says Robert Kierzek. - This is Inter Cars Group. Truly common. Equally developed and oriented on a common objective as DNA chain - he says.

Remembering the roots

We have not forgotten about our most important partners and customers - i.e. Inter Cars branch owners and cooperating with them thousands of servicing garages. - Inter Cars would have never appeared on the first place of Polish and European ranks of automotive industry leaders, if it weren't for them and the trust we got from them - and we have done our best not to fail this trust - emphasizes Krzysztof Oleksowicz. The company therefore constantly, in thousands of conversations and meetings, collects valuable information, to prepare solutions, making this exceptional business relationship even more effective and advantageous for both parties. - We would like to make an automotive mechanic and his role to be seen seen as the experts. People appreciating their work and being appreciated by their customers, just like they deserve it - stressed the founder of Inter Cars.

Young experts

Being able to operate on the market, however, is not just the ability to respond to current events. It is also perspective planning of the future. Inter Cars approaches this task very seriously. With the motto "Young HR", in cooperation with business partners, IC has developed a program of training future automotive industry employees. Schools supported by the company gained the equipment and training programs worth more than PLN 1.5 million. And the market will soon obtain thousands of highly prepared experts.

Business with education

- The "Young HR" combines the world of business with the area of vocational education - informs President of Inter Cars. - Students receive help in gaining knowledge thanks to which they will effectively find their place on modern labour market. Schools receive professional garage equipment and technical support, which in standard mode would be beyond the reach of their financial capacity. The suppliers deliver trainings, providing knowledge of servicing technology and specificity of their products. This is a form of responsible cooperation.

Real responsibility

The Company following its social responsibility is focused on a very wide range of areas. One of the forms of creative impact on reality are programs related to road safety. Co-created by the Company, employers' organization MOVEO is committed to protecting the interests of automotive market, realized inter alia through the promotion of systematic technical checks (today not regular enough) and caring for the quality standard of repair services.

Forecast for tomorrow?

- "In planning, we design the future" - this slogan may appear to be a typical marketing message - until looking at financial results company in the context of its activity and responding to the needs of the market - emphasised Robert Kierzek. - In the course of less than 25 years of existence we managed to transform seemingly unrealistic vision into a tangible result. Often better than forecast at the beginning. So we think that we have really reasonable basis also to look now into the future with a real optimism - summarized Kierzek.
