In April 2022, Polish carrier Maciej Nowakowski became an Amazon Freight Partner. Since then, his infrastructure construction and transport company, KTM Infrastruktura, has gone from strength to strength, enabling him to give back to his community.
That year, he also started supporting local orphanages by donating essentials like beds, clothes and toys, and supporting children’s travel to special events. One annual event he is involved with is the Polish Football Championship for Children from Orphanages.
Maciej’s collaboration with Amazon opened up a wide range of development opportunities for his company, enabling him to carry out this incredible work. Within two years, KTM Infrastruktura managed to double their fleet, giving Maciej enough resources to give back to his community.
Maciej says that his—and his company’s—goal is to open these children's minds to the possibilities that lie ahead of them. He aims to show that everyone, regardless of the start they had in life, has a chance to achieve a lot if they believe in themselves and strive to achieve their goals.
The advantages of partnering with Amazon
“For me, the number one advantage of the partnership with Amazon is the opportunity for small companies like ours to take part in a large international transport network, learning to use the latest technologies in transportation,” says Maciej. “The atmosphere of cooperation and mutual respect creates a foundation for rapid and stable growth which is also something we want to provide the children we support!”
He continued, “Other companies that want to work with Amazon will be able to take advantage of the same opportunities that we do. The security of work and the reputation that comes with working with Amazon, combined with a good atmosphere of cooperation and mutual respect, create a foundation for rapid and stable growth.”
Plans for the future
Currently, Maciej’s company stands on two stable and mutually supporting pillars: infrastructure construction and transport. Maciej has been able to continuously grow the transport side of his business as a direct result of the connections his partnership with Amazon provides. As a result of his business’s successes, he is currently finalising the purchase of land for his company’s base near Poznań. This will bring further growth to KTM Infrastruktura, allowing Maciej to initiate new projects and creating new opportunities for him to give back to his community.
His goals for the future include continuing to develop his company and take on new, interesting challenges in both transport and construction. Ultimately, his dream is to establish a foundation that will build homes for disadvantaged children.
Maciej’s journey with Amazon Freight Partner
Maciej and KTM Infrastruktura show that business success can go hand in hand with social responsibility. Guided by Maciej’s leadership, the company has grown into a model of achievement and community involvement, driven by a sincere commitment to positive change.
From offering financial aid and resources to orphanages to organising special events for children, Maciej’s efforts have made a tangible difference—building community and helping young people thrive. When asked why he does this community work, Maciej says: “I believe that helping others is one of the most important things we can offer the world. Very often, even small gestures, a kind word and closeness can do a lot and bring support to those who need it.”
He adds, “Financial support is the simplest form of help, but we wanted to give something more to the children – the belief that even though they haven’t had the ideal start to life, they can still achieve their dreams.”
Amazon Freight Partner is a unique opportunity to launch, or expand, a trucking business, even without prior logistics experience. Participants can start with as few as 1–3 Amazon‑branded, fuel‑efficient trucks (no upfront deposit) and scale up to a fleet of 10 (or, in some cases, 15) vehicles. Beyond trucks, Amazon provides extensive support: an exclusive accelerator training program, access to coached operations, maintenance services, and negotiated deals on key expenses like insurance and fuel.
