From humble beginnings in an apartment in the center of Szczecin to the creative renovation of an old army building, and then to the recent expansion into a barracks that has been completely rebuilt, the aim has always been to create an environment that inspires creativity and joy.
The close collaboration with our customers and our ambition to always work smarter, not harder, pushes us to use the best tools and be innovative in our approach to creating solutions on a daily basis.
We continue to grow at a fast but organic rate, and our little group of dedicated people now counts 140 heads. It still feels small, though our lunch buffet has to stay open for several hours.
Since the beginning, it has been important to recruit the right people, with a focus on both technical and social skills. This ensures that we can create the right mix of individuals when we create teams, with the right blend of personalities and skills. Creativity is best achieved in a group, where not everyone is the same or with similar knowledge.
“Our organization is built on trust and responsibility for the individual with a special focus on quality, regardless of whether it is about the product we deliver, the way we treat each other, or what role we have in the daily work. Respect, trust, and quality is our target.”
Pawel Finkielman (Owner and founder of NCDC)



We found this old red brick industrial building, and with a lot of love and creativity, we turned it our center of creativity.
It used to be part of a military complex and housed a large scale laundry with huge boilers. The boiler room we made into our lunch hall and we kept the chimney because chimneys are great!!
History made its mark on our basement, where old reminiscents of the Szczecin fortress was found. Obviously we kept that part on display and our building made its way into the local newspapers.
Heating, cooling, and ventilation is a huge challenge, but by challenging contractors and ourselves we managed to get all heating build into the floors to avoid visible radiators, and the need for cooling is minimized by using all the right materials and a focus on airflow.
Then we set our eyes on the building next door. An abandoned Barack, also previously a part of the same military complex. It looked horrible, and for some reason, the bricks were a weird purple, likely the leftover paint from some factory. We never found a logical explanation. However, it was only a one-story building and that would not be enough. We expanded the building upwards adding a second story. Everything except the walls was ripped out, and a second story added with the concept that it should be clear, what was the old original and what was new. So now we have taken use of a wonderful building with red brick walls at the base, and steel and glass at the top. The first floor has an awesome view directly to the treetops, and advanced windows make sure that a lot of light comes in, but heat is reflected.

On Wednesday we have a local supplier of freshly pressed juice, but otherwise, we encourage drinking plain water. We have installed water filters and the tap water in our lunch halls is chilled and carbonated by choice at the tap.
We have local restaurants delivering our lunch buffet, with a wide choice of salads and a weekly meat-free day.
Limiting waste is a focus, and we eliminated all paper towels, so in all bathrooms, we have hand towels. Washing them and rolling them into small tubes, is a triple win. It saves paper, it is cheaper and it gives a great luxurious feeling to grab a fresh towel, use it, and throw it in the wash basket.
Parking in the city center is always a problem and we would never be able to make enough parking spots for everyone. So we have just a few for the visitors, and then we made a lot of room for bicycles. Even if Szczecin is not traditionally a bike-friendly city, bike lanes are popping up, and the number of people arriving on a bike is increasing. One time a year we invite a local bike mechanic, and that is a great time for people to get the bike tuned in.





Outside our buildings are also chairs and small tables to enjoy some fresh air and a chat. where one person is taking a break, others will join. For more peace and quiet we placed benches in our gardens, and for those that like to walk while thinking the garden, paths are made for just that purpose.
The basement is for the more noisy version of relaxing, with the mandatory pool table, table tennis, sandbag for those that need to release some tension, and many tables and reclining chairs for those that are waiting their turn. The basement is also the center of the Friday team events, though sadly those Fridays seem to be less and less popular, as families claim those Friday afternoons for other activities.

People – their passion, ambition, commitment and readiness to face challenges – are key to success in business and sport. The most essential is team play – it makes each goal easier to achieve. In business, relations between workmates needn’t only be built inside the closed office space.
Getting to know your co-workers the outside workplace, in a more relaxed atmosphere, is worth giving a try. Hence our decision to organize a unique event in which a spirit of sporting competition will unite with integration and fun!
