Pisz, Poland, 3 April 2025 – PAGED Plywood S.A., one of the largest plywood manufacturers in Europe, is undergoing significant changes. As of 1st of April 2025, Marek Janke, previously Vice President of the Management Board responsible for commercial affairs and transformation, has taken over as President of the Management Board and CEO. Janke is an experienced executive with a strong track record in building global brands and leading strategic transformations in the industrial sector.
Joining the Board is also Jarosław Wasiuk, who has been with the company for 18 years — starting as a packer and most recently serving as International Sales Director. He now takes on full responsibility for sales and marketing across the organisation.
The previous President, Jarosław Michniuk, who led the company through a dynamic period of change and market challenges over the past six years, has assumed the role of Vice-Chairman of the Supervisory Board of PAGED Plywood S.A.
Also effective from 1st of April, the role of Export Sales Director has been taken up by Stanislav Podlucky, who has been with the company for seven years and was previously responsible for sales in key European markets.
The new leadership is not a change of course, but the continuation of a development strategy defined in 2024: “We are building our future on solid foundations – nearly 100 years of manufacturing expertise, breakthrough technologies developed at Paged LabTech, and plywood as a sustainable material of the future. We believe the future belongs to products with the highest technical parameters, intelligent solutions, and a conscious approach to the environment,” emphasises Marek Janke.
Thanks to the long-term vision of innovation-driven growth championed by President Michniuk, the company has built and continues to expand one of the most advanced research and development centres in Europe and globally – Paged LabTech. It is here that two globally promising innovations have recently been developed and launched: the fire- and water-resistant plywood DryGuard FR and the ultra-durable RockPly®, which is twice as much stronger as birch plywood. Both products were unveiled at the BAU trade fair in Munich and have attracted considerable interest from customers worldwide.
“PAGED has no intention of competing on price alone. The company focuses on value – developing specialised, high-margin products for the construction, transport, interior design, furniture and industrial engineering sectors. Plans include new product systems and continued international expansion – including the development of operations in USA,” adds Marek Janke.
The personnel changes also bring with them a shift in the company’s identity. As of 1st of April, the company operates under a new name – PAGED Plywood S.A. – which clearly reflects its area of specialisation and enhances brand recognition in international markets.
