PORTA - 32 years
of experience

32 years ago, the first door factory was established in Bolszewo near Wejherowo. In 1992, a team of several people began producing the first door leaves.

The following years saw extremely dynamic development of the company. The construction of specialised plants in Ełk, Suwałki and Romania, up to the opening of the modern PORTA STEEL machine park.

From the very beginning, PORTA KMI POLAND has been managed by Jacek Sarnowski.

PORTA QUALITY

We know the importance of durability, good design and a positive feeling from the daily use of our products. The doors we buy accompany us for many years and we touch them several times a day.

For this reason, we have ensured that the finish and construction of all our doors are highly resistant to impacts, abrasion and scratches, even under intensive use.

TRUSTED BRAND

PORTA DOORS is a trusted brand whose 30-year experience in door production is appreciated by more than half a million Poles every year. This experience has allowed us to perfect two of the most important elements: good design and durability.

Abroad, you will find us from the Czech Republic, through Romania to Vietnam - we are in 43 countries and in the homes of almost one million customers worldwide.

PORTA DESIGN

Beauty and functionality. Doors are not only an element that separates interiors, they are above all an element that gives character to an interior, emphasising its style. Attractive and varied design combined with attention to detail is something that, next to durability, is a priority for us at PORTA.

Our Design and Product Development team follows current furniture trends by participating in international fairs and looks for new solutions so that the products created are functional and respond to current global trends.

Wide range

PORTA's wide range of products is our pride. We will tailor each door to your needs so that it will serve you for years to come. What's more, at PORTA you have a real influence on the appearance of the product - starting with the handle and ending with the skirting boards matching your door.

near Wejherowo, where our head office is still located today. Since then, we have been committed to systematic development,
as evidenced, among other things, by our financial results showing the good condition of the company – in 2016 our sales
exceeded PLN 314 million. We currently employ over 1,800 people and have five factories.
Our latest investment is the PORTA STEEL production plant in Ełk, for the construction of which we have earmarked PLN 70 million for its construction.
