Kronospan - The employer of Tomorrow 2016!
According to the organizer of the plebiscite - Polish Agency for Enterprise Development - labor market research indicates that employers are having increasing difficulty in finding employees with the required competencies.
The aim of the competition is to reward employers who make an effort to prepare young people - students and alumni - to take the first job. These activities enable them to acquire or develop competence, so that they become valuable, sought-market employees, consciously shaping their career.

Polish furniture industry employs about 160,000 workers and generates 5% of the exports of our country. As a result, Poland is the fourth largest furniture exporter in the world and the sixth world producer. The furniture industry generates around 30 billion positive balance of foreign trade, which is the highest of all sectors of the Polish economy. According to forecasts, this year's export value of furniture will exceed 41.6 billion zł. Polish companies are doing very well in foreign markets. In the opinion of Deputy Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki " it is a pearl of the Polish economy, which is in the third position may be promoted to leadership."
Without the participation of Kronospan, successful furniture industry does not evolve so rapidly. With extremely strong growing furniture industry, there is a problem with the supply of panels for furniture production. Access to basic raw material is a prerequisite for the development and growth of export of Polish furniture companies. This dynamic development would not be possible if not for the determination and support of Kronospan.
