Grupa Allegro is a leader of the Polish e-commerce market. It owns and operates the largest online marketplace in Poland, available at allegro.pl.
As a member of a group of companies, we cooperate closely with Ceneo sp. z o.o. – an owner of ceneo.pl, a price comparison website.
The company was founded in 1999 in Poznan (Poland), a city that still remains the company’s HQ. Other our Polish branches are located in Warsaw, Torun, Wroclaw and Cracow. The company employs over 1,300 people, almost a half of which are software and hardware engineers.
Each day, customers visiting Allegro buy almost 900,000 items and 94% of those items are brand new products. We have 21 million registered user accounts and over 100,000 Polish companies are listing their offers on our platform.
In 2016 the company was sold to private equity firms Cinven, Permira and Mid Europa. Previously it was owned by south South Africa-based global internet and entertainment group, Naspers Limited.
Our mission is to bring happiness to our clients.Main EU files targeted
