Who Owns Media Expert?

Media Expert's roots are in TERG, the company Teresa Grzebita founded in the early 1990s. The name TERG derives from her initials. The business began by selling small household appliances such as irons, mixers, and kettles from its base in Zlotow, with early warehouses operating out of private garages.

The first shops opened in Zlotow, Walcz, and Czluchow, followed by Pila. Through the 1990s the assortment widened into consumer electronics as the Polish retail market modernized after the end of the communist era.

In 2002, TERG joined a consortium of regional electronics and appliance retailers to create the Media Expert chain. The shared brand let independent regional players pool marketing and procurement to compete with international entrants such as MediaMarkt and RTV Euro AGD.

The chain grew steadily. By January 2015 it operated more than 300 stores. That figure passed 440 stores in 340 cities by late 2017, 498 by March 2021, and 600 by November 2024. As of the financial year ending March 2026, the network stood at 618 stores.

Alongside physical expansion, the company built out e-commerce. Mediaexpert.pl became one of Poland's most-visited retail sites, and a 230,000-square-meter Central European Hub distribution investment completed in 2022 gave the brand national fulfillment capacity. A marketplace model followed, broadening the assortment beyond electronics into toys, garden equipment, pet products, and household goods.

Financial growth has tracked network expansion. Group revenue reached PLN 21.54 billion in the year ending March 2025, up 17 percent, and approximately PLN 24.3 billion in the year ending March 2026, with net profit of PLN 725.5 million.
