In 2002, the journey of Bogdan Artur Panknin began with nothing more than a toolbox and big ambitions.
As a trained carpenter and native of Upper Silesia, he set the first milestone of his career in a small garage, which can be seen in this picture. This is where it all began.
With dedication, craftsmanship skills, and a clear vision, Bogdan set out to make a name for himself in the world of craftsmanship.
This modest workshop was the starting point from which he realized his dream and laid a solid foundation for future successes.
In 2003, Bogdan's toolbox moved to a new underground garage and was joined by the first machine tools, a panel saw, and an edge banding machine.
With these new capabilities, our first furniture pieces and building elements were created.
A particularly important milestone was the production of our company's first staircase. This phase marked the beginning of our craft expansion and was an important step in the development of our company.
Even as a child, Patrick was often at his father's side and helped with various tasks.
He developed an early interest in craftsmanship and learned the basics of carpentry from his father. In the workshop, Patrick acquired practical skills and gained his first experiences.
As the junior of the company, he supported his father in numerous projects and thus contributed to the development of the company.
In September 2004, our company took another significant step: the purchase of our own workshop hall. Initially, the hall was nothing but rubble, as can be seen in the picture.
But we saw the potential and set about transforming it into our new workshop. After intensive construction work, we were able to move in with our carpentry.
This step opened up new opportunities for us and marked an important milestone on our path.
From 2005 to 2018, our family business specialized in furniture making and old building renovation.
During this time, we carried out numerous different projects and were able to continuously expand our craftsmanship skills. Our strong family team was a decisive factor in our success.
Particularly noteworthy is the role of my mother. She supported us from the beginning both mentally and physically and was always there when help was needed.
Her commitment and support were the backbone of our company, especially in difficult times. Our company was built on her tireless dedication and care.
The year 2019 marked the most significant turning point in our company.
In this year, we decided to focus entirely on staircase construction as our main business, while furniture making was continued only as a secondary business.
This decision was closely linked to an important investment: the acquisition of our first CNC machine. This state-of-the-art machine opened up new possibilities in the production and precise processing of staircases. At the same time, this investment posed a major challenge for us, as it meant considerable financial expenditure and required a restructuring of our production processes.
Despite these challenges, this step has proven to be pioneering and has led our company into a new era.
Today, we proudly build high-quality staircases for our customers.
Our CNC machine enables us to produce custom-made staircases with the highest precision and quality. Each staircase is carefully planned and manufactured to meet the individual needs and wishes of our customers.
This phase marks a new era for our company, in which we can fully develop our expertise in staircase construction. Our passion and our craftsmanship skills are reflected in every project we implement. Through continuous development and the use of state-of-the-art technology, we offer our customers unique and durable solutions in staircase construction.
Today we stand as a team, father and son, united by our shared passion for craftsmanship.

Together, we focus on quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction to successfully lead our company into the future.
