Milton CDI — Bringing International Brands to Polish Retail

Milton Sp. z o.o., trading as Milton CDI, is a Warsaw-based importer and distributor specialising in the introduction and development of international brands in Poland and the wider Central European region. With a portfolio of more than 60 international cosmetic and consumer brands, the company connects overseas brand owners with retail opportunities, local market expertise and support for long-term growth.

Milton’s core business is sourcing finished beauty, personal care and pet food products directly from international suppliers and building their presence in Polish retail. Working as an exclusive distribution partner, the company supports brands from initial market entry and retail listing through to trade marketing and ongoing commercial development. Its approach combines the priorities of brand owners with the expectations of retailers and the needs of local consumers.

A diverse portfolio with strong consumer appeal

Milton focuses on fast-moving consumer categories that offer opportunities for innovation, differentiation and repeat purchase.

This breadth gives Milton experience across different product formats, price positions and retail environments, enabling it to identify suitable opportunities for each brand rather than apply a single distribution model to every supplier.

Retail access supported by local brand development

Milton’s products are listed with major retail chains and drugstore networks, including Carrefour, Biedronka, Rossmann and Douglas, as well as leading online platforms such as Notino. Its presence across physical retail and e-commerce offers suppliers several routes to reach Polish consumers, from mass-market distribution to specialist beauty channels.

Beyond securing listings, Milton supports the work needed to establish and develop a brand locally. Its services encompass market-entry support, trade marketing and brand development, helping international partners translate their proposition into an offer relevant to Polish retail. For suppliers, this means working with a local partner focused on both commercial access and the sustained development of their brands.

Entrepreneurial leadership and strong business momentum

Milton is a founder-led business with a team of 25 people, combining direct management involvement with close supplier relationships. The company is led by CEO Aneta Olędzka, who was recognised in Forbes Poland’s “50 over 50” list in 2025

Brands in Milton’s portfolio have also received Polish industry recognition, including “Pearl of the Cosmetics Market” and “Love Cosmetics Awards” . These achievements reinforce the appeal of its portfolio and its focus on introducing international brands that resonate with local consumers.

Seeking new brands and long-term supply partnerships

Milton welcomes conversations with international brand owners and manufacturers seeking an engaged distribution partner for Poland and opportunities for wider Central European expansion. The company is particularly interested in distinctive beauty, personal care and pet care products that combine innovation, a clear consumer proposition and strong retail potential.

For suppliers, Milton offers more than a route into the market: it offers a committed partner to help establish retail presence, develop brand recognition and turn initial listings into lasting commercial relationships.
