Has the pandemic influenced the approach of companies to purchasing processes?  What has changed?

Since we have been operating on the market for 20 years,  we have already witnessed crises. We have gone through various phases of economic development and each time we’ve observed certain recurring trends in the behavior of current or potential customers. The pandemic will certainly change their approach to more digital transformation and accelerate many decisions, focusing on modern tools and the Internet. Looking at it analytically, services such as ours, i.e. optimizing processes,  should be invested calmly, when you have appropriate resources, and preferably if you do not act under the pressure of time. We can see, however, that when the madness of a crisis begins, for example at the time of pandemic that we have experienced since last  March, many companies  act a bit too impulsively. They more often make decisions that may be accurate, but solve problems  in the short term only. We also observing it when communicating customer needs. They are only temporary, solving their problems here and now. On the other hand, when we refer to history, to what companies did when they were emerging  from  crises, then the way of looking at these services or “arming oneself” with new electronic tools was more rationalized. Many companies suddenly started turning to  digital transformation, and one has to be very well prepared for this. Now we are observing a great deal of interest in our offer, both in the area of improvement of ​​purchasing as well as in searching for solutions in the financial area (automation of settlements, electronic communication with suppliers). The number of inquiries about our services is growing significantly. However, the pandemic situation in the coming quarters will certainly affect the pace of their consumption.

And what does it look like in the long term perspective?

We can see that the importance of automation and digitization processes is increasing. These are all areas in which we as a company are present. Our purchasing tools enable the transition to the  100% paperless services. This is also reflected in the design of our product range – we offer companies the transition to electronic tools and processes. We provide them with optimization of procurement, billing, invoice and purchasing processes. It is basically about the entire process , starting from planning purchases, announcing inquiries and auctions to suppliers, selecting them, through signing a contract, placing orders, and then sending these orders to suppliers, and finally collecting them and issuing  invoices. In short, we give it all in one electronic tool. Therefore, its application can handle many different tasks , supporting ERP systems.

Why do companies want to use this type of platform? What exactly are the benefits?

Companies use platforms of this type for two main reasons in fact: quick gaining of financial  results and process automation. The tools we offer have been known on the market for over 20 years. Basically, the same functionalities have been available  for those nearly 20 years. Now, it is more about the market’s readiness to consume them. And this potential is there because many companies have not yet switched to electronic workflow, which  became more evident during the pandemic. The sudden increase in interest in solutions such as electronic signature, digital document flow or automation of financial services is now obvious. In addition to the platform itself, we are also advanced in building a supplier cloud  that we can offer to virtually any company, providing communication with suppliers in an easy, online form. What’s more, as part of the cloud, we offer a whole range of additional services, such as e‑signature, OCR, i.e. image recognition from invoices or other documents and, finally, financial services.

What financial services are we talking about?

We are currently in cooperation with Faktoria, in the phase of implementing a product that allows our clients to use electronic factoring. Many corporations, including those from outside Poland, have very long payment terms as part of their corporate standards for their suppliers, to which they send orders of not necessarily high costs – these are sometimes very large amounts of low‑value orders, e.g. with a value from 2,000 up to 10,000 PLN, with payment terms, e.g. 90 or 120 days. In such cases, the buyers themselves ask us if we have a factoring service that they could connect to shorten their suppliers’ waiting time for payment, so that they would meet the corporate requirements and their contractors could get the money for a small fee, even after a few days. When it comes to accelerating the pace of money circulation for companies relying on large volumes of low amounts, acceleration is critical. Therefore, we are now entering the space of modern services, also when the supplier needs financing.

 Can you observe any specific trend on the Marketplanet platform itself in recent months?

The increase in inquiries for access to the supplier database is clearly visible. This is also related to the fact that the current system of cooperation with suppliers has been slightly reevaluated. Organizations are looking for alternatives to increase security. Thanks to contracts with multiple suppliers, they are more certain that orders will be processed on time and  that ordered goods will be produced and delivered on time. Unfortunately, the crisis related to COVID has raised the transaction risk significantly and companies have very consciously started  searching for new sources of supply. This could be perhaps even greater value than seeking the lowest possible price. The other trend is the constant conversion of these analogue buyer‑supplier relationships into an electronic formula using the supplier cloud itself.

What exactly is the support provided to buyers and suppliers on the platform?

How does the platform combine the needs and requirements of both parties of a transaction?

It depends on the scale of the buyer’s business. We currently have a group of very large clients – for example, PGE Capital Group, mBank, Orange, Tauron Group, NBP, Veolia – these are large structures that have developed a model with their suppliers in which there is no other method of submitting offers than the electronic path. This is a very important thing that has happened in the last few years. Suppliers have learned to sell online, not only on Allegro platforms, and to appear on price comparison websites. They have to manage access to large organizations directly, because these large companies digitize their purchases en masse by implementing their own tools. Since we transfer the process to the electronic zone, the supplier receives a whole chain of benefits , i.e. an electronic order and in the same way can determine the manner of executing this transaction, not only in the purchasing process, but also in the settlement process. It is also much easier for this large entity to distribute or settle such an e‑invoice later. As I mentioned before, you have to remember to take into consideration the scale because a large company may have, for example, over 20,000 active suppliers. In this case, it is much easier for them to handle all these processes in one electronic channel, and then send out e.g. 40,000 orders monthly and receive the same number of invoices. In turn, for small buyers, the value is access to a significant number of suppliers and the ability to negotiate prices, thanks to which they buy cheaper and more efficiently.

What type of IT solutions are becoming more popular in this area? Is there any clear trend visible?

Over the perspective of those 20 years, technology has become quite common and easily available. Our experiences with customers and with the product show that the most important thing is the customer’s need and responding to it.  A clear vision of what the client wants to achieve with these tools is important. Our technology must be scalable, so that when we launch our products, we can scale them in terms of the number of users, transactions and suppliers. What is extremely important, the technology must be safe, because we work with confidential customer data in planning, tender and transaction processes. In each case as that , the user interface is extremely important and of course the ability to work on mobile devices.

And what will the further development of the company look like?

While cooperating with the largest clients, whose names I have already mentioned, we will continue to help optimize processes, deliver new modules, applications, etc. Today we have very advanced software to support P2P (purchase to pay) processes as we have consistently aimed to cover the entire P2P process with electronic tools. On the other hand, the biggest changes in the company’s strategy consist in moving the product offer to the cloud. We have already undergone the transformation of the entire organization from a design model to a product model in the subscription formula. We have created a “customer journey” characteristic of our customers and our products. The cloud offer is sold in a subscription and we have set up all mechanisms related to modern marketing and solutions supporting sales, e.g. CRM and call center systems. A very important part of our strategy is the expansion of the supplier cloud – a space in which we have approximately 70 thousand companies that actively cooperate with our buyers every day. This allows us, based on the API, to easily add external services, such as the aforementioned OCR, financial services or e‑signature.

How important for your company is public procurement? What are the characteristics of this segment of your business?

The area of ​​public procurement is very important to us. All analyses indicate that this market is the location of a very large volume of money (the value of contracts awarded in 2019 based on the provisions of the Act in Poland amounted to PLN 198 billion). It is practically in every country in the world that public procurement constitutes a significant value of the market purchases. We have been operating on the public procurement market from the very beginning, offering modern solutions supporting tender procedures. Also in this area, we focused on our cloud tool and we already have about 1000 entities there, which has happened in less than 1.5 years, and we still observe an increase in the customer base.

Has the pandemic influenced the approach of companies to purchasing processes?  What has changed?

Since we have been operating on the market for 20 years,  we have already witnessed crises. We have gone through various phases of economic development and each time we’ve observed certain recurring trends in the behavior of current or potential customers.

    25 Years of Avallon MBO: A Unique Anniversary in Exceptional Company

    A quarter of a century in business means hundreds of projects and transactions and the growth of many companies, but above all, relationships built over the years. That is why we wanted to celebrate Avallon’s 25th anniversary together with the people who have been, and continue to be, part of our story.

    Nearly 250 guests joined us at Manuarte, in Łódź’s Manufaktura complex: entrepreneurs, investors, business partners, representatives of our portfolio companies, colleagues and friends of Avallon.

    The anniversary evening was hosted by Tomasz Stamirowski, and the gala was presented by Marcin Dobrowolski. We opened the official programme with a look back at 25 years of Avallon, from our very first transaction to our fourth fund. This was followed by discussions that offered a chance to share memories and take stock, as well as to talk about the future, the challenges ahead and our plans.

    After the official part, guests enjoyed dinner, networking and more informal conversations. Agustin Egurrola and his dancers gave the evening a truly special atmosphere, and the celebrations continued late into the night.

    Above all, however, the evening was about people. We would like to thank everyone who accepted our invitation and joined us in Łódź, as well as everyone who, over the past 25 years, has placed their trust in Avallon, shared their experience with us and built companies alongside us.

    It was an evening celebrating 25 years of shared history. Thank you for allowing us to experience it together.

    And the next chapter is just beginning.

  • Avallon launches its largest fund to date. EUR 171.5 million to invest with managers – with a stronger focus on technology

    Avallon MBO has completed the first closing of its new fund, Avallon MBO IV, raising EUR 171.5 million in the first closing. The fund’s target size may increase to EUR 260 million. The fundraising process will continue, and in the next stage larger Polish family foundations will also be able to invest in the fund. The capital raised will be allocated to investments in companies from Poland and the Central and Eastern European region. 

    Avallon MBO Fund IV is the fourth fund managed by Avallon MBO, one of the pioneers of the management buyout market in Poland. The recently announced investment in Inglot is the first transaction of this fund. Avallon MBO Fund IV will continue its existing strategy of investing alongside managers and the founders of family businesses, targeting the companies with turnover of EUR 20–100 million. 

    – The launch of Avallon MBO Fund IV is an important step in the development of our team and a confirmation of investors’ confidence in our team and in the market position we have been consistently building for 25 years. Over that period, we have become the leader in management buyouts and a top local private equity fund, with an impressive base of contacts and experience gathered from our projects so far – says Tomasz Stamirowski, Managing Partner at Avallon MBO.

    A key element of the Avallon MBO Fund IV strategy will be the greater use of technology as a driver of company growth. This applies both to technology companies and to businesses in more traditional sectors which, through digitalisation, automation, the use of software and data analytics, can improve their efficiency, scalability and competitiveness. At the same time, the fund will continue to invest in industries in which Avallon has many years of experience, including consumer brands, B2B services, e-commerce and manufacturing companies, as well as in promising companies requiring support in succession, professionalisation and consolidation processes. 

    As Tomasz Stamirowski emphasises, the current market environment favours investors who know the local market well and are able to execute transactions smoothly with company owners and managers. A number of Polish companies are today undergoing generational change. We are seeing growing interest in succession transactions and management buyouts. For many owners, what matters today is not only achieving an attractive valuation, but also finding a partner who understands the specific nature of the company, its organisational culture and the role of its management board. The MBO model responds very well to these needs, as it allows capital, the fund’s experience and the commitment of managers who know the business from the inside to be combined – adds Tomasz Stamirowski.

    Over its more than 25 years of activity, Avallon has invested more than PLN 1 billion in Polish companies. The new fund will operate at a larger scale than Avallon’s previous investment vehicles. Each successive fund has been larger than the one before. Avallon’s first fund amounted to EUR 50 million, the next was more than twice as large (EUR 109 million), and Avallon MBO III, closed in 2021, raised EUR 137 million and invested in eight companies. The third fund’s portfolio now includes: Clovin with the Purox and Dr.Prakti brands, Norlys, Letniskowo, MPPK Group with the Wiejska Zagroda and Pan Mięsko brands, SAT – owner of the S’portofino store chain, Globema and the Czech company TES Vsetin. These investments are currently being developed, although some of the companies are attracting strong investor interest. 

    Alongside the launch of Avallon MBO Fund IV, the fund is also strengthening its team. Mateusz Kacprzak is joining the partner group and will be responsible for sourcing new investment projects and for developing the fund in the area of technology adoption and digitalisation in portfolio companies. In parallel, Avallon is expanding its investment, analytical and operational teams in order to increase its capacity to run a larger number of projects. 

    – A fund of this scale will allow us to carry out larger transactions and, at the same time, to pursue more projects in parallel. We see significant potential in companies outside the technology sector, for which digitalisation and automation enable faster growth. This is an area in which we want to actively support companies after investment – says Mateusz Kacprzak, Partner at Avallon MBO.

    Avallon MBO Fund IV addresses its offering both to institutional and private investors, including domestic ones family offices and family foundations, which are increasingly seeking long-term exposure to the private equity market.

  • Krzysztof Kuźbik in Portal Spożywczy on Maspex’s Latest Acquisition in Ukraine

    Maspex’s acquisition of a majority stake in Ukrainian company Carpathian Mineral Waters is a transaction that should be viewed through a much broader lens than that of a single industry. It also sends an important signal to Polish companies considering expansion across the Central and Eastern European region.

    Speaking to Portal Spożywczy, Krzysztof Kuźbik, Partner at Avallon MBO, noted that Polish companies currently have a unique opportunity, but also a limited window of time to act. If Polish entrepreneurs fail to seize this opportunity, investors and businesses from other countries will.

    Ukraine is set to become one of the key markets in the region, and those who begin building their presence early will be best positioned to benefit. For many Polish companies, Ukraine could become a natural direction for expansion—geographically close, economically complementary, and strategically important for the entire Central and Eastern European region.

    “Understanding the local market is essential—its rules, relationships, consumer behaviour and the way public administration operates. It is simply not possible to successfully run a business in Ukraine solely from Warsaw or Kraków. This is why experienced professionals with in-depth knowledge of the market—Polish, Ukrainian and international managers alike—will play a crucial role. Such expertise will be a major asset for companies looking to enter Ukraine through acquisitions,” commented Krzysztof Kuźbik, Partner at Avallon MBO.

  • Avallon MBO and Inglot Join Forces to Accelerate the Global Expansion of a Leading Beauty Brand

    Avallon MBO, a private equity company specialising in management buyouts, has invested in Inglot, one of Poland’s most recognized beauty brands with a significant international presence.

    The transaction involves the acquisition of a majority stake and reflects Avallon MBO’s strong belief in the potential of Polish brands to build and strengthen their global position. Avallon brings extensive experience in supporting family-business succession, organisational transformation, and long-term value creation alongside founders, owners, and management teams.

    Under the leadership of the next generation of the founding family, supported by Avallon MBO’s expertise, Inglot will continue to build on the same foundations that have shaped its global success: Polish heritage, in-house manufacturing, creative independence, and uncompromising quality.

    Inglot is among a select group of Polish brands that have successfully established a global presence and strong brand recognition. Built over more than 40 years, the company now operates across international markets, leveraging a business model based on proprietary manufacturing, product innovation, creative independence, and a strong brand position.

    The partnership with Avallon MBO is intended to support the next phase of business scaling, including further international expansion, organic growth, and investments in organisational capabilities, technology, and operational platform development. Inglot’s growth strategy focuses on international expansion, broadening its product portfolio, and strengthening e-commerce and omnichannel capabilities. Poland will remain one of the company’s key growth markets.

    “This transaction is designed to support the continued scaling of the business, further professionalisation of the organisation, and the development of capabilities required to drive growth in international markets. For our business partners, it means continuity of cooperation within the existing operating model, combined with new opportunities to grow alongside the brand. Planned investments in product development, sales enablement tools, and competitive capabilities are intended to support revenue growth and further expansion across all channels,” said Agnieszka Pakulska, Partner at Avallon MBO and the lead on the transaction.

    “This marks another important milestone in our development journey. Bringing on board a partner such as Avallon enables us to accelerate the execution of our strategic objectives and scale the business more rapidly across international markets. We gain access to valuable operational expertise and know-how that will support the continued professionalisation of the organisation. Operationally, we are not planning any revolution. Our focus remains on consistently developing each area of the business, strengthening sales channels, and capturing new growth opportunities. I believe this partnership will help Inglot enter the next stage of professionalisation and development—an ambition I have pursued for many years,” said Grzegorz Inglot, CEO of Inglot.

    The transaction aligns with Avallon MBO’s strategy of partnering with companies that have strong market positions, recognised brands, and significant growth potential, working closely with founders, owners, and management teams to unlock long-term value.

    “I will remain actively involved in the management of the company and will continue to contribute to its development as CEO and shareholder,” added Grzegorz Inglot. “The family will also remain an important part of the company’s ownership and governance structure. My sister, Milena Inglot, will continue serving on the Management Board, while our father, Zbigniew Inglot, will represent the family on the Supervisory Board. Existing family shareholders, Elżbieta Inglot and Barbara Inglot, will also remain involved both as shareholders and in expert roles within the organisation.”

    Industry forecasts project the global beauty market to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of between 3.4% and 7% through 2030, with total market value expected to exceed USD 800 billion. In Poland, the beauty market is forecast to grow at a CAGR of approximately 6–7%.

    Consumers are increasingly focused on product quality and ingredient transparency, seeking not only makeup products but also skincare-oriented solutions that support skin health and overall condition. Demand continues to rise for science-led products backed by proven formulations and research-based efficacy.

    Closing of the transaction is subject to customary regulatory approvals and is expected following the summer holiday period.
