OKNOPLAST – a Company full of Energy

The “Company Full of Energy” ranking of Gazeta Bankowa is an exclusive list of Polish companies distinguished for their exports share, product innovativeness , sales efficiency in developed markets, and the strength of their brands. Apart from the award ceremony, one of the elements of the Gala was a debate titled “Opportunities and risks for Polish exporters”. The participants, including  the Chairman of OKNOPLAST and the Chairman of PKO BP, discussed the following issues: what are the elements of the product offer of Polish exporters that are crucial for entering developed foreign markets?; what is the competitive advantage of Polish exporters?; what is the burden in the expansion to foreign markets?; and what kind of support do exporters expect from the Polish state to be able to grow further? Aside from the ranking winners, the guests of the Gala included representatives of other countries’ Chambers of Commerce.
