Topmall is a Polish company. It is an e-commerce business and pioneer in online cross-border sales. We initially focused our activities on eastern markets, especially the Ukraine, were we successfully developed the topmall.ua store. In search of challenges and opportunities for expansion, in November of 2015, we made the strategic decision to broaden the scope of our activities and took over what is one of the oldest, biggest and most well-known online stores in Poland – merlin.pl. At the same time we are continuing our expansion to new eastern markets including Kazakhstan, Georgia and Belarus and simultaneously also expanding our business to western European countries. The goals we have set for ourselves are no doubt ambitious but we firmly believe that thanks to the experience and specialist knowledge that we have at our disposal, they can be effectively achieved.
