Marek Woźniak

From the production floor to consulting

Marek didn't start his work in an air-conditioned office. For 14 years, he worked directly at machine operation and shift management in plants near Radom. In 2016, he founded Orzeł Strategii Group because he was tired of watching Polish companies lose money due to paperwork clutter and raw material waste. He knows the smell of grease and knows that profit is made at the bottom, not just in Excel tables.

In his work, he sticks to floor specifics. If he says you can save 4,200 PLN a month on electricity, it means he checked it with a meter at a specific machine. He doesn't promise miracles. He says straight out that repairing profitability is often tedious work that requires counting every penny. Marek has personally supervised 83 audits over the last 7 years.

Honestly, Marek doesn't like suits and you'll rarely see him in one. He prefers a work shirt and comfortable shoes because he spends most of the day walking between production lines at clients' sites. In 2023, he spent 154 days directly with plant owners, looking for where capital was escaping. Without fluff, he explains to presidents why their margin is falling even though orders are increasing.

Specific results, not theories

Under his eye, one company in Siedlce reduced steel waste by 17% in just 4 months. They didn't need expensive IT systems for this. Marek simply switched work planning to two shifts and changed the way sheets were cut. Such simple steps give the fastest return.

• Fixed cost analysis in 3 business days.
• Identifying savings at the level of 8-12% of the annual budget.
• Support in negotiations with energy and gas suppliers.

Heads-up: Marek can be stubborn. If he sees that a company owner doesn't want to implement changes, but only looks for confirmation of his wrong decisions, Marek knows how to say thank you for the cooperation. What matters is the effect and real profit that stays in the pocket of the Polish entrepreneur. He may not be the cheapest advisor on the market, but he is the only one who takes responsibility for the numbers he shows in the report.
