Comex once again among the Gazele Biznesu

February 20, 2024

Our contribution to the development of the regional economy has been recognised in an exceptional way. We have received the prestigious Diamond of the Polish Economy 2022 award for the Lower Silesian Voivodeship – a distinction that confirms our strong position among business leaders in the region.

This title is awarded to companies that stand out not only for financial stability and innovation, but also for having a significant and positive impact on the economic development of their region. We are a company deeply rooted in Lower Silesia – it is here in Wrocław that we have been building our brand for over 35 years.

Receiving the Diamond title is a great honour for us, and a confirmation that our work contributes to the prosperity of the entire region.

Conducting business in harmony with the natural environment is one of our key priorities. We are pleased to announce that we have obtained the Chain of Custody Certificate CU-COC-861999 – formal proof of our commitment to sustainable development.

This certification guarantees that every stage – from the harvesting of wood in certified forests to the final product in our print facility – is fully controlled and carried out with respect for natural resources. For our clients, it ensures that the materials used in the production of their labels come from legal and responsible sources.

We consciously implement eco-friendly solutions in order to minimise our environmental impact. Our next objective is to obtain FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certification – a further endorsement of our commitment to responsible forest management. At the same time, we reaffirm our continued compliance with the ISO 9001:2015 quality standard.

Financial stability is the foundation of trust and long-term relationships in business. We are proud to announce that we have been recognised in the prestigious Lider Kraju 2023 ranking – an independent programme that evaluates Polish enterprises based solely on hard, objective financial and economic indicators.

The Lider Kraju ranking is based on data from mandatory financial reporting, analysing such criteria as revenue from sales, net profit, and assets. The transparency of its methodology makes it one of the most credible measures of a company’s financial health.

Being part of this distinguished group confirms that our business model is both effective and resilient in the face of changing market conditions. It gives us a strong mandate to continue investing in the future.

The culmination of our work and our passion for creating exceptional labels was the receipt of the top award in the Złoty Gryf 2023 competition, organised by the Polish Chamber of Printing. We were honoured for our label Quantum Satis Mead, which was recognised as the highest-quality product in Polish print.

Our entry stood out among the competition thanks to its unique combination of advanced techniques and materials. We used a substrate with a distinctive texture, enhanced by precise hot stamping and complex double embossing. These details are what define a premium-class product.

Winning the Złoty Gryf – the most prestigious industry award in Poland – is a great honour. The awarded label showcases both our technological capabilities and the craftsmanship of our production team. It is a testament to our ability to meet even the most ambitious creative visions, and to deliver products that are works of art in their own right.

Maintaining dynamic and stable growth in a competitive market is proof of the strength and effectiveness of a company’s strategy. We are delighted to announce that we have once again been honoured with the Gazela Biznesu title – this time for our achievements in 2023.

This prestigious accolade is awarded by the daily Puls Biznesu to the fastest-growing small and medium-sized enterprises in Poland. The Gazele Biznesu ranking is based on an objective analysis of financial indicators – such as revenue growth rate, profitability, and consistency – making it one of the most reliable business rankings on the market.

The recognition we received confirms that our strategy – grounded in continuous investment in technology, and the development of our team’s skills – is delivering excellent results. It is also a strong signal to our partners that Comex is a stable, trustworthy organisation.

Our commitment to pioneering technologies has been featured in the industry monthly Packaging Polska. The article described in detail our innovative NFC label, which had previously received recognition in the Art of Packaging competition – a solution that is revolutionising the way consumers interact with products.

The label combines refined print enhancement techniques – such as selective cold stamping, textured varnish, and a soft-touch effect – with an intelligent NFC chip. As a result, it not only catches the eye on the shelf, but most importantly, plays a key role in combating counterfeiting. With a smartphone, the consumer can instantly verify the authenticity of the product – a feature of strategic importance in industries such as pharmaceuticals and premium spirits.

As one of the first companies in Poland to do so, we launched a fully integrated line for antenna printing and RFID/NFC chip application back in 2012. The current interest from the media proves how forward-looking that decision was. The NFC label is not only a tool for brand protection – it is also a powerful marketing asset.

Once again, we have proved that a label can be a small work of art. Our creative and innovative approach to production has been honoured with the Chair of the Jury's Special Mention – Professional 2024 – in the Art of Packaging competition, one of the most highly regarded in the packaging industry.

This competition recognises projects that uniquely combine aesthetics, functionality, and technological innovation. The distinction we received confirms that our ongoing investment in cutting-edge printing technologies, and our passion for creating unconventional solutions, enable us to set new standards in the market.

This award is especially valuable, as it recognises the synergy between creative design and advanced technology – the very heart of our operations. As a Polish company generating 20% of its revenue from exports, we are proud to demonstrate that Polish design and manufacturing quality are recognised on the international stage.

Reliability and the highest quality are the pillars on which we build the trust of our clients. We are pleased to announce that we have successfully passed the audit and extended our ISO 9001:2015 certification for a further three years – an internationally recognised confirmation of our competence in quality management systems.

For our business partners, the ISO 9001:2015 standard provides a formal guarantee that every process within our organisation – from the initial enquiry, through production, to final delivery – is managed in accordance with precisely defined international standards. This ensures consistency, precision, and full control at every stage.

For our company – which employs 95 people and delivers 750 million labels annually to more than 600 clients – upholding these standards is an absolute priority. The renewal of the certificate is evidence that our management systems are robust and that they translate directly into the highest quality of the final product.

At Comex, we believe that success in business goes hand in hand with a sense of responsibility for the world around us. That is why – with great pride and joy – we supported this year’s 17th edition of the charity rally Złombol as one of its sponsors.

This is a unique initiative that has, for many years, united motoring enthusiasts around a noble cause – raising funds to support children from orphanages. This year, the Comex colours were proudly represented by the team of Krzysztof Gąsior, Robert Zatycki and Maciej Bednarski. Their determination and spirit of adventure enabled them to cover an impressive distance of 4,382 kilometres in just seven days. Driving a 40-year-old Fiat 125p – without the support of professional technical assistance – they departed from the Silesian Stadium in Chorzów and reached the scenic Atlantic Road in Norway.

Supporting initiatives that create meaningful change and bring people together for a good cause is an honour for us. Over the course of 17 editions, the Złombol rally has raised more than PLN 15 million – a testament to the extraordinary strength of this community. We are delighted to have been part of this endeavour.
