The origins of today’s OPA Zabrze are exceptionally intriguing. As is often the case, it all started with an idea born out of the need to refine and enhance the rhythmic operations in the mining industry.
Next, there had to be an organizer, specifically the Chief Director of ZZPW, who, by Directive No. 15\/70 dated March 31, 1970, established OPiA at the Knur\u00f3w Coal Mine.
The collaboration between the president, who has led the company for 25 years, and the team has resulted in a strong financial position and recognition within the industry in which OPA PW SA operates. Evidence of this success includes the following accolades:
\u2022 “Gazela Biznesu” awards in 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2013, and 2014,
\u2022 “Gepard Biznesu” awards in 2012 and 2015,
\u2022 “Diamenty Forbsa” (Forbes Diamonds) in 2012,
\u2022 “Efektywna Firma” (Effective Company) in 2015,
\u2022 “Mocna Firma Godna Zaufania” (Strong Company Worth Trusting) in 2015. <\/p>\n

These achievements would likely not have been possible without a dedicated team of collaborators and the collegial work atmosphere that has been fostered.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Crisis – what does it mean<\/em><\/strong>
A significant slowdown in economic growth is deeply felt by most entrepreneurs, with the construction industry experiencing particularly severe impacts. Decreasing investments are also limiting the activities of companies associated with the sector. Economists predict that the situation will gradually improve only by the end of the year. How are entrepreneurs and companies from various cities in the Silesian Voivodeship, who are clients of BS in Gliwice, managing during this crisis? Here’s what they shared with us <\/p>

Bernard Hucz<\/strong>
President of O\u015brodek Pomiar\u00f3w i Automatyki PW S.A.<\/em><\/p>

80% of our clients are large coal companies that pay according to the agreements made. We experienced a crisis ourselves between 2001 and 2004, when the company was on the brink of collapse. We had to undertake not only a financial restructuring but also the painful task of workforce reduction, which involved laying off large groups of employees.
This experience likely taught us caution and a focus on quality. Consequently, there is a high demand for our products, and our achievements have been confirmed by a recent audit of our quality management system. So, I am probably the last person who should comment on the crisis. <\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
