Wood industry in Gin Dobry Club

Over the years Drema fair has been considered one of the most important fair dedicated to the wood and furniture industry in Europe, where the most cutting edge technologies, machinery and tools for wood processing as well as brand new products are presented. Drema promotes accomplishments of the Polish wood industry which constitutes a large share of the GDP.

It therefore comes as no surprise that already on the first day of the event the meeting room of Gin Dobry Club was filled with international guests. We were visited by heads of industry associations, management boards of companies producing machinery and equipment for the wood industry, members of economic chambers and associations, diplomatic corps and obviously, the members of GDC  - among others President of  Szynaka Meble and President of the Polish Chamber of Commerce of Furniture Manufacturers Jan Szynaka,  Bogdan Czemko, Director of the Polish Economic Chamber of Wood Industry and Dr Andrzej Byrt – Polish economist, public officer, diplomat, former President of the Management Board of Poznań International Fair. Unofficial atmosphere of the meetings facilitated exchange of information, fair titbits and strengthening relations.

On the first day of Drema fair the Club was joined by a grandson of the pre-war director of Poznań International Fair – Stefan de Ropp,  Mr John R. McDonald, partner and shareholder of the company Briggs and Morgan from Minneapolis, USA. On Tuesday, the elite circle of GDC was however joined by Mr Tomasz Nieciąg, President of the Management Board of company ITA Tools from Cracow. September 13th brought three new members – Mr Jan Gondek, President of the Management Board of Penny Gondek from Oleśnica,  Mr Karel Adamik, President of Adamik Company, s.r.o., Paskov, Czech Republic and Mrs Karolina Janiak, Commercial Adviser of the Embassy of Poland to Canada in Warsaw.

Gin Dobry at Gardenia

Even when it is freezing cold outside, in the Gin Dobry Club the atmosphere is always hot. We proved it once again during the Gardenia Horticultural Fair.

When the temperature outside reaches -15 degrees Celsius, what could be more pleasant than a quiet haven, a consummate drink in the hand and a group of nice people to talk to? The group which – as we may emphasize with satisfaction – is still growing. During Gardenia, we have accepted another two persons into the Gin Dobry Club. The first one is Maciej Konieczny, Sales Director at Husqvarna Poland. The other gentleman is Karol Omelan, Turf Sales Manager at John Deere Polska.
