When Roman Tulwin started in 1986, the biggest challenge was the lack of raw materials and machinery. Today, celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Recman brand, it faces completely different realities: rising labor costs and the need for digital communication with customers. See how the family company survived the political transformation, built a network of almost 80 showrooms and why it still relies on its own sewing factory in Poland.
In an interview with Bankier.pl, Roman Tulwin talks about whether this business is profitable, about the beginnings of the business, key moments in the history of the Recman company, mistakes made, about why in the era of globalization it is the reaction speed of the Polish sewing factory that allows it to beat the competition, and why in a long-term business the team is more important than short-term profit.
