Profim was founded in 1991 by Ryszard Rychlik, Andrzej Opłatek and Bogdan Kaczmarek, at a time when Poland was moving to a free-market economy. The three founders saw a chance to bring high-quality furniture to that new market, and they built the company in Turek, a town in the very centre of the country. Through energy and entrepreneurial drive, Profim grew into a substantial manufacturer known for precision and quality, and a meaningful employer for its community.

In 1998 Profim exhibited at the Orgatec fair for the first time, with the aim of entering the German market. Working with international designers became part of its identity, and a practical approach to design produced affordable chairs with international appeal. Over the next two decades the company expanded its reach abroad and grew its production in Turek, relying on the specialist knowledge of its employees and a network of local suppliers. Profim describes itself as locally grounded but globally connected.

In 2018 Profim became part of Flokk, the Oslo-based furniture group whose production for brands such as Offecct and Giroflex is now also centred in Turek. Flokk brought a strong sustainability framework, and the Turek site was transformed into a lean, modern production hub for the whole group. Profim's own philosophy has stayed refreshingly clear: create furniture that is unique yet universal, durable, user friendly, stylistically approachable and affordable. As the brand puts it, timeless design does not need to shout. Its designs often start from familiar, well-loved typologies, balancing soft curves with crisp edges, and they are finished with a careful eye for snug, tailored upholstery.

That attention shows in the details: a perfect seam, a cleverly hidden mechanism, a thoughtful combination of materials. Profim collaborates with designers including Pearson Lloyd, Note Design Studio, ITO Design and Christophe Pillet, and its Revo modular system by Pearson Lloyd rethinks upholstered furniture for a circular future. In 2025 the Snap lounge chair by Note Design Studio received a Green Good Design Sustainability Award for its recycled materials and glue-free, staple-free upholstery. With a collection spanning task chairs, meeting and auditorium seating, lounge chairs, sofas and tables, Profim offers a warm, approachable way to furnish a whole workplace without compromising on quality.
