1996

Tesko, a wholesaler of steel mill products, was established in 1996 in Knurów. The initial goal of the company was the purchase and sale of receivables, however, along with new experience and a highly-developed sense of orientation within the environment, the company took in the trade of steel mill products. Development our own work tactics based on the principle of partnership, and understood by us as a reliable and professional service rendered to contractors, had a significant impact on the company’s rapid development.

1998

After two years of operation, Tesko launched - in Rybnik at Żorska Street - a warehouse which allowed to maintain a high level of current inventory. In the same year, the company signed numerous dealership agreements with Czech and Slovak companies for the import of steel products in the following range: black square and rectangular profiles, black pipes and galvanized seamed pipes, hot-rolled sections and hot-rolled metal sheets. Import products constitute the backbone of the trade assortment maintained at the level of 80%. At the same time, Tesko worked with a number of national partners and sought to ensure a full range of steel products from different manufacturers.

1999

In 1999, we were awarded with title of “Fair Play Business” which proves that we follow the rules of business ethics and fair play. That same year, in August, we joined the Polish Union of Steel Distributors after obtaining reliability references from other member companies.

2002

In 2002, the company’s headquarters was moved to Rybnik along with the sales department. Aferwards, the new warehouse was opened at Brzezińska Street. As a result of the organizational changes, the company established a logistics center effectively supported by a transport base (10 vehicles with a capacity of 25 tons each). Assortment under continuous sale reaches a value of 10-13 million PLN, thanks to which Tesko ensures short delivery times and order fulfillment. It is also worth mentioning that prices of import products are at a level lower than their national counterparts.
