​Our History

Our fascinating journey began in 2004, when we entered the dynamic hairdressing cosmetics market with passion and enthusiasm. Our first store in the bustling Jagiellońska Street in Szczecin was not only a place of sale, but also a symbol of innovation. We then introduced an innovative concept of wholesale sales of products from renowned brands such as Schwarzkopf and L'Oréal, which set a new direction in the industry.

Two years later, in 2006, we boldly introduced the Italian brand Itely to the Polish market. Although this cooperation turned out to be less fruitful than expected, it was a valuable stage of learning and experience for us.

 

In 2008, another significant moment came - we started importing and distributing the prestigious British brand Affinage, which strengthened our position as exclusive distributors in Poland. ​

 

2010 was a breakthrough year - we created the EKF distribution network, which changed our operations. An innovative approach to distribution and training allowed us to develop quickly, conquering the market with unprecedented momentum.

 

In 2012, we achieved our first million zlotys in sales, which was proof of our success and unwavering determination. ​ Unfortunately, in 2014 we had to face the challenge of the breakup and division of the Affinage brand into two smaller companies - ASP and Leyton House, owned by former Affinage partners. They began to compete directly with each other and this prompted us to redefine our strategy and end the distribution of two lower quality Italian brands. ​ Without waiting, in 2015 we established a unique cooperation with the German premium brand: Glynt, opening a new chapter in our history. This initiative resulted in the introduction of a turquoise management system in 2019, which revolutionized our approach to business, emphasizing that people are the heart of the company.

After the COVID-19 pandemic, our main instructor, Dawid Malczyk, gained international recognition, which allowed us to expand our educational activities throughout Europe. In 2022, we were honored as the best Glynt distributor in the world, which was confirmation of our world class. The brand's development was so rapid that by the end of 2023 we doubled the number of employees and started the construction of the EKF international logistics center. ​

 

In 2024, with courage and a vision for the future, we decided to rebrand and expand into new markets in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, opening a new chapter of our multinational distribution platform. Our new mission and vision, which we will unveil soon, are sure to inspire generations to come. ​

 

Our company history is also a story of constant passion, perseverance, innovation and determination in pursuit of perfection. We never give up!
