When you can't be in Poland yourself, I can — verifying, documenting, and representing your interests on the ground, so you can make informed decisions with confidence.
Tomasz Szumski Consulting helps foreign companies entering or operating in Poland gain a trusted local presence. Whether you need to verify a supplier, assess a manufacturing facility, attend meetings on your behalf, document industrial processes, or support commercial negotiations, I provide independent, on-the-ground expertise — backed by decades of international business and technology experience across Canada, Poland, and the Gulf region.
Verification is one way I represent a client's interests. Documentation is another. Negotiation support and factory assessment are others — all grounded in the same on-the-ground presence and judgment.
This isn't just local knowledge — it's the ability to assess what you're actually looking at, technically, commercially, and culturally, and represent your interests accordingly, drawing on a background spanning manufacturing, AI/technology, engineering, and cross-cultural negotiation across four continents.
I work alongside a trusted network of local partners — lawyers, accountants, and technical providers — to handle legal, accounting, and infrastructure needs as part of the engagement.
Supplier and facility checks, compliance/labeling spot-checks, and industrial process or retooling documentation.
