A Year with Elverdal in the Buglo Family

The First Year of Collaboration

It’s hard to believe how quickly a year has passed since Elverdal joined Buglo. The beginnings of such collaborations are always a significant challenge, especially as we come from different countries. From the very start, however, we shared a common vision: designing playgrounds that not only entertain but also foster development.

Elverdal is a Danish company that designs unique wooden and steel playgrounds. Their process begins during conversations with the client – designers immediately sketch the first ideas, creating a story rooted in the location where the playground will be built. The result is projects that delight both in form and design.

Learning Communication and Understanding

The first challenge in our collaboration was, of course, communication. To better understand Danish culture, we organised workshops for Buglo employees, led by Leif Christiansen – a Dane living in Poland who specialises in intercultural communication. We learned more about the Danish work style and the ways they communicate professionally and privately. This experience greatly facilitated building mutual understanding.

The Birth of the Nordic Unit

The past year also brought changes in our approach to the market. At the beginning of 2025, another company joined the Buglo group: Finnish Leikkiset. In response to this development, we created the Nordic Unit – a team dedicated to the Nordic and Baltic markets.

The team is led by Marcin Girzejowski, Business Unit Manager. Patrycja Romankiewicz, Team Leader, coordinates sales and, together with Agata Zelek-Pruszyńska, Senior Export Specialist, supports clients at every stage of collaboration. Robert Mural is responsible for 3D visualisations and concept designs, while Michał Hajman and Marcin Chatys take care of the engineering and technical aspects.

“Nordic Unit operates like a well-oiled machine. Each of us has a clearly defined role, and together we complement each other’s skills,” says Marcin Girzejowski.. “This allows us to approach the Nordic and Baltic markets comprehensively: from discussing completed projects, through design and visualisation, to refining technical details.”

Buglo Gala – Celebrating Together

We invited our partners to the annual Buglo Gala – a tradition we uphold during the carnival season. During the event, we award the Buglo-Player statuettes to employees who particularly embody our values. The Danish and Finnish teams also presented their own awards. Afterwards, with music from both countries, we celebrated together and spent a long time sharing the tracks played that evening.

International Sales Meeting in Copenhagen

The next gathering took place in Copenhagen, where we organised the International Sales Meeting. This year’s edition was themed Let’s Elverdal. We wanted our partners to get to know the company and, like us, be captivated by its projects. Conversations during visits to Elverdal playgrounds confirmed that our goal had been achieved.

Elverdal Poland – A New Chapter

Another milestone was the opening of Elverdal’s Polish branch. The Polish team will support our Danish colleagues in developing custom playgrounds. Already, we are receiving initial information about projects that will soon be realised. We know it will take some time to see the results – after all, these are bespoke projects – but we are eagerly awaiting their launch.

A Shared Vision for the Future

The past year has brought many changes and shared successes. Through our collaboration, Buglo’s offering has been enriched with Scandinavian-designed equipment that complements our existing solutions perfectly. The combination of experience and a shared vision for the future makes us look forward to the coming years with great optimism.
