Be open to change, learn from others and embrace new experiences
Meet Zbigniew Brunke, our Supply Chain Management (SCM) Manager at Alteams Lębork, Poland. His journey at Alteams is a story of growth, dedication, and a love of learning. Known for his positive spirit, Zbigniew is highly appreciated by both his colleagues and everyone who works with him.
Career Journey
I started my career at the company 10 years ago as a CNC operator. Even then, I knew this was just the beginning—I was motivated to grow and learn. After about a year and a half, I became a Shift Leader, and later, I was promoted to Manager of the Assembly and Final Processes Department. In 2022, I took on a completely new area: Planning, Logistics, and Warehouse Management. Today, I am proud to manage the entire SCM Department. Each step of this journey has been an opportunity to learn, grow, and acquire new skills.
Daily Responsibilities
A typical day is always full of new challenges. I spend a lot of time analysing data, planning activities, and coordinating teamwork. I attend operational, strategic, and project meetings, and I place great emphasis on communication—both within my department and with other areas of the company. I also make it a point to support my team, helping them develop and succeed in their daily tasks.
Memorable Moments
One of my proudest moments was taking over the SCM department. It was a brand-new area, and I had to quickly implement processes and build a team from scratch. Not only did we manage to organize the work effectively, but we also introduced improvements that increased efficiency. Seeing the team grow and achieve its goals has been incredibly rewarding.
Team & Workplace Culture
What I enjoy most about my colleagues is their openness, commitment, and willingness to support each other. We work in a fast-paced environment where communication and trust are essential. Together, we share knowledge, solve problems, and learn from one another, creating strong relationships and a positive work atmosphere.
Personal & Professional Growth
Working here has shaped me both professionally and personally. I’ve learned to lead teams, manage projects, and think strategically about processes. My advice to anyone considering joining the company is to be open to change, learn from others, and embrace challenges. Ambition and a willingness to grow will take you far. And above all, I could not have achieved this without the support of my family—their patience, understanding, and encouragement have been my foundation through every challenge.
Looking back, every step—from a CNC operator to leading the SCM department—has taught me that growth comes from taking opportunities, embracing challenges, and never stopping learning.
