On 28 January 2020, during the Partner Days – furniture trade fair for the furniture industry – in Bad Salzuflen, a meeting was held between the President of OIGPM, Jan Szynaka, and the management of German associations connected with furniture and wood industry in general. It was a summit meeting of organisations representing furniture manufacturers and the furniture industry from Poland and Germany. These two countries and Italy are the largest producers and exporters of furniture in Europe. The Polish furniture industry in particular has developed excellently in recent years and furniture manufacturers from Poland are important players not only in Europe but also worldwide.

The Polish Economic Exhibition, organised on the initiative of the President of the Republic of Poland Andrzej Duda, was held on 16 January 2020 as a tribute to the achievements of the best Polish companies and their contribution to the development of the Polish economy. The event entitled. “From COP to economy 4.0” took place in the newly opened hall of the Industrial Development Agency in Stalowa Wola. The Polish Economic Exhibition brings together entrepreneurs from all over the country, selected by the Presidential Economic Chapter, who stand out due to innovation, modern solutions, but above all who refer to the traditions of Polish producers. In the elite group of nearly 70 exhibitors, there was also Szynaka Meble, effectively combining innovative, world-class technological thought with traditions dating back to 1957.

The Warmia and Mazury region and the promotion of Polish products were discussed at the 590 Congress. Among the speakers was an entrepreneur from our region, Jan Szynaka – President of Grupa Meblowa Szynaka.

Szynaka Meble Company prepared and carried out a prestigious project of furnishing the Meeting Hall in the UN Headquarters in New York with furniture manufactured by one of the plants belonging to Grupa Meblowa Szynaka. Poland will end its non-permanent, two-year membership of the UN Security Council on 31 December this year. As is the UN tradition, individual countries donate various decorative items to the UN building, promoting their traditions, history and culture. On the initiative of President Andrzej Duda, this year Poland designed and donated the decor of the Security Council conference room. In cooperation with the Office of Central Support Services and the Chancellery of the President of the Republic of Poland, Andrzej Duda, Szynaka Meble created the space of one of the most important rooms located in the immediate vicinity of the UN Security Council meeting room.

Once again, Szynaka Meble moved up in the national ranking of cabinet furniture manufacturers organised by Meble Plus magazine, maintaining its high position and taking 2nd place in this prestigious ranking.

The four-day Furniture Manufacturers’ Partnership Fair in Iława has now finished. This year’s jubilee tenth event organised by Grupa Meblowa Szynaka attracted furniture enthusiasts from all over the world.
