SENIOR BUYER FURNITURE CATEGORY

Who we are?

The beginning of our journey was officially marked in the distant year of 2002, when KREZ EOOD, a Bulgarian trading company, began its operations in Pazardzhik. What started as a small company fueled by energy, passion, and a clear vision for the future has grown into one of the most recognizable names in the market.Today, KREZ is more than just a hardware store or a typical DIY shop — it’s a destination where everyone can find something that suits their needs.The KREZ corporation currently operates two hypermarkets with a combined retail space of 15,000 square meters, alongside three logistics centers dedicated to preparing and dispatching goods for wholesale clients. Our warehouse facilities span thousands of square meters, supporting efficient distribution and stock management.Guided by the motto "Everything in one place," KREZ offers a product range that exceeds 70,000 items — covering household essentials, construction materials, furniture, tools for craftsmanship, and products catering to a wide variety of professions and interests.A key part of our business is our wholesale trade network, which includes over 600 business customers — among them, more than 200 furnishing stores across the country. This segment continues to grow, further strengthening KREZ’s presence in the furniture and interior solutions market.The heart of our success lies in the dedication of over 350 employees — including consultants, traders, warehouse staff, and administrative professionals — who ensure that our customers receive the highest level of service.At KREZ, we believe that business is not a short-distance sprint but a marathon — and we remain committed to sustainable growth, long-term partnerships, and delivering value to every customer.

We continue to promote diversity and inclusion. With that in mind, we welcome all applicants. Our motto is “Persistence is the key.” We believe that a company is a culture. A group of people brought together around common values and beliefs. It is not the products or services that bring it together. It is not the scale of the company or its power that makes it strong, but its culture - a strong sense of beliefs and values that everyone - from the cashier, through the consultant in the hall, to the salesperson, and even to the sales director share. So the logic is very clear: The goal is not to hire people who don't just have the skills we need, the goal is to hire people who believe in what we believe.
