Following the completion of Sławomir Czarnecki’s three-year term as President of the Muszkieterowie Group in Poland, the position will be taken over by Marek Sawa, the current President of Bricomarché Poland.
The official handover of responsibilities is scheduled for December 2026. It will be preceded by a carefully planned succession process designed to ensure the continuity of the Group’s development strategy in Poland.
At the same time, Marcin Bałdys, currently a member of the Bricomarché Management Board, will become the new President of the home improvement retail chain.
Continuation of the Muszkieterowie Group’s development strategy
The planned leadership changes are part of the Muszkieterowie Group’s consistently implemented growth strategy in Poland.
The newly appointed leaders are experienced entrepreneurs who have been associated with the organisation since 2008 and 2013 respectively. They combine practical experience in managing Bricomarché stores with extensive knowledge of the Muszkieterowie business model and the Group’s management structures.
Their appointments also demonstrate the importance of a model in which independent entrepreneurs actively participate in shaping the direction of the entire organisation.
“Taking on the role of President of the Muszkieterowie Group in Poland is a great honour and responsibility. My task will be to ensure a smooth transition and continue implementing the development strategy established in recent years,” said Marek Sawa, the future President of the Muszkieterowie Group in Poland.
“Our priorities remain strengthening the Group’s position on the Polish market, developing the Intermarché food retail chain and the Bricomarché home and garden network, and supporting entrepreneurs in the day-to-day management of their businesses. We want to continue building a modern and efficient organisation that responds to the changing needs of customers and the market,” he added.
Marek Sawa to assume responsibility for the Group in Poland
Marek Sawa has been associated with the Muszkieterowie Group since 2008. Together with his wife, Violetta, he operates Bricomarché stores in Głogów, Lubań and Lubin.
Under the Group’s business model, he has actively participated in the organisation’s development and held a number of positions within its structures.
Among other responsibilities, he served as a member of the Muszkieterowie Union team, which is responsible for recruiting and training future entrepreneurs. In 2020, he became head of the department before taking responsibility for corporate communications.
In February 2024, he joined the Management Board of the Muszkieterowie Group in Poland. Since August 2024, as President of Bricomarché Poland, he has been responsible for developing and implementing the chain’s nationwide commercial strategy.
At the end of 2026, he will assume the position of President of the Muszkieterowie Group in Poland.
Marek Sawa is also a shareholder in the Muszkieterowie Group and participates in the annual General Meeting of Shareholders held in France.
Marcin Bałdys to become President of Bricomarché
Marcin Bałdys joined the Muszkieterowie Group in 2013. Together with his wife, Aneta, he operates a Bricomarché store in Pruszcz Gdański.
Within the Group’s management structures, he has held positions related to commercial policy. Between 2019 and 2023, he managed the Northern Region, and in April 2023 he became a member of the Management Board of Bricomarché Poland.
In 2026, he joined the group of shareholders of the Muszkieterowie Group in Europe. At the end of the year, Marcin Bałdys will take over as President of Bricomarché Poland.
“Bricomarché has enormous growth potential, which we intend to fully utilise in the coming years. Our goal is to strengthen our position among Poland’s leading DIY retail chains through expansion, development of our product range and continuous improvement of standards in line with customer expectations,” said Marcin Bałdys.
“This new role gives me a great sense of satisfaction, but it is also a challenge that I will do my best to meet,” he added.
Stability and continuity of management
Sławomir Czarnecki has led the Muszkieterowie Group in Poland since September 2023. His term will end in December 2026.
His presidency has been a period of important organisational decisions, implementation of strategic projects and strengthening the position of the Intermarché and Bricomarché brands both on the Polish market and within the wider Group.
During this period, the organisation exceeded 400 stores in Poland, developed its cooperation model with independent entrepreneurs and continued the expansion of both retail chains.
Important projects supporting further growth included investments in logistics, the opening of two distribution centres, the signing of a purchasing alliance with Auchan, the implementation of an ERP system at Bricomarché and the development of digital sales channels.
The coming months will be devoted to a smooth transfer of responsibilities to Marek Sawa and Marcin Bałdys. They will assume their new roles in an organisation with an established scale of operations and a clearly defined development strategy.
After completing his term, Sławomir Czarnecki will remain associated with the Group as an entrepreneur. He will also prepare to open another Bricomarché store as part of a major investment in the commercial property in which the outlet will operate.
“At the end of the year, my term as President of the Management Board of the Muszkieterowie Group in Poland will come to an end. It has been a very intensive period marked by changes, the implementation of numerous strategic projects and, above all, the strengthening of Bricomarché and Intermarché on the Polish market,” said Sławomir Czarnecki.
“I therefore decided that this was the best moment to hand over leadership in Poland to successors who will continue the Group’s development and introduce initiatives that will increase its value on the domestic retail market,” he added.
The changes in the management structure are expected to ensure the continuation of the current strategy and further strengthen the Muszkieterowie Group’s position as one of Poland’s largest organisations bringing together independent entrepreneurs.
