Our history

MITKO, based in Wodzisław Śląski, has been operating in the Polish market since 1989. From the very beginning, we have focused on professional service and the highest quality of our products. We are currently a leading manufacturer of outdoor advertising displays, both in Poland and in Europe.

1989 – 1999

  • 1989

    The beginning of something great

    This is the year that started the entire journey. CEO Michał Mitko, along with his partners, establishes the company and decides to create something of their own. The business begins with the production of plastic housings. At that time, they had no idea how much the entire brand would grow.

  • 1993

    A bold step forward

    The nineties brought changes. This was also the case here. This year marked the time for a new direction. A bold transformation of the industry that would pay off in the long run. We began the production of basket awnings.

  • 1994

    We’re moving like a storm

    It was a bullseye! Our company is growing every day. We reached the peak of sales. Incredible experiences and emotions… But we were still eager for more, so…

  • 1997

    We are discovering new directions!

    The success of the awnings drives us to take on new challenges. We ventured onto a new path, starting with the production and installation of beer gardens. This niche allowed us to continue growing.

2000 – 2009

  • 2004

    Tent breakthrough

    After 7 years, it was time for the biggest change. President Michał decided to start the production of tents. Flexibility, quality, and new technologies were what we were looking for, which is why we launched our own sewing and metalworking shops. Was this gamble worth it?

  • 2007

    New headquarters

    Absolutely! It was a great decision that paved the way for the purchase of a new headquarters and the relocation of production to Wodzisław Śląski. The larger space allowed us for rapid growth, and production accelerated. We were sure this was just the beginning.

  • 2008

    Our own digital printing house

    We love innovation and technology. And the combination of these gives us our own digital printing house. We take full control and independence over the production process. We did it faster and more accurately. Customers appreciated this, and we could offer more and respond more quickly to their needs.

2010 – 2019

  • 2013

    Proprietary ERP system

    Have we already mentioned the technologies we love? Because we created our own ERP system! We wanted the processes to be even more optimized and order fulfillment to be more precise. This is truly a game changer!

  • 2014

    We are entering the Czech market!

    Borders? For us, they are just lines on a map. So, we decided to reach out to other countries and opened MITKO s.r.o. in the Czech Republic. Our sales department in Brno quickly began to gain customers and partners, allowing the company to grow beyond Poland.

  • 2016

    Greater functionality of advertising tents

    Every detail, every aspect… and functionality… We wondered how to combine them? And that’s how we introduced octagonal profile tents! This solution delighted our customers.

2020 – now

  • 2020

    Digital development for customers and partners

    Is it time for growth? It always is. That’s why we opened a powder coating facility, which allows us to create even more aesthetically pleasing products. We pay attention to every detail. Because the small things create the big ones.

  • 2021

    We are not afraid of the virus!

    A difficult period has arrived for the entire market. The pandemic began to make its presence felt. However, we did not stop. Our developers implemented tools for digital acceptance of documents, projects, and order placement. From this moment on, customers can operate faster and more efficiently.

  • 2023

    New printing innovations

    Another important chapter in our history was the launch of DTF printing. This allows us to offer more precise and durable graphic designs on fabrics. Additionally, we introduced tent rentals! Because we know that sometimes they are only needed for a single event.

  • Currently

    Our shared history continues to unfold

    We love to combine new technologies with functionality. Have we mentioned this already? Every day, we work with the development department, programmers, and all other teams on improvements that are created for you.

     

    Because you are the ones who create MITKO. Without you, we wouldn’t be here, and there wouldn’t be such tremendous growth. Thank you!
