On 8 July, the European Leadership Awards gala took place at the Sheraton Hotel in Warsaw. The ceremony, which concluded the Executive Forum 2020, honoured winners in seven categories. The Global Success Leader Diamond went to the window‑joinery manufacturer OKNOPLAST from the Kraków area. The jury-comprising eminent representatives of academia and business-praised the company’s international achievements, notably its highly effective sales‑network development and brand building in foreign markets.
The Executive Forum and the European Leadership Awards gala are organised each year by the Executive Club, an organisation that brings together top‑management representatives of leading Polish and international enterprises.
The awards recognise the best companies, outstanding managers and business leaders who introduce new technologies and innovations, show strong commitment to the country’s economic growth and uphold the highest standards of leadership. The Diamonds highlight the added value these winners bring to the development of the Polish economy.
This year, the jury of distinguished figures from the worlds of science and business honoured OKNOPLAST with the Global Success Leader award.
“Ever since Poland’s accession to the European Union opened the door to expansion, we have been conquering successive international markets while never neglecting our domestic one. We focus not only on building our own distribution network but also on building our brand. Thanks to this, we are now the most recognisable window brand in Europe, and through our actions we are strengthening the Poland brand itself. We are delighted that the hard work of the entire OKNOPLAST team has been acknowledged by such an elite jury—my sincere thanks for that,”
said Mikołaj Placek, CEO of the OKNOPLAST Group.
