After the official opening of the Event a short historical outline of the Workshops was presented (more detailed history can be found in the printed materials).
This year’s Edition – apart from having a special anniversary character – was a unique opportunity to visit our factory in Bydgoszcz. For most of our guests it was a first visit in our production plant, others enjoyed a great opportunity of visiting us again after many years.
All visiting guests enjoyed their “journey” where history meets the future and technology combines with human passion. An undoubted attraction during the visit were the test fires performed in our fire test chamber which most of visitors experienced for the first time.
On the third day of the Workshops we invited all our guests to a charity integration event. This year’s edition called “We are changing the world for the better” during which ten teams assembled, painted and prepared an impressive set of garden furniture (mud kitchens, deckchairs, coffee tables and a swing), which were donated to the Family Children’s Home in Bydgoszcz. The joy and happiness of children when gifts arrived were heart-warming and truly priceless.
This is another year when we support a noble purpose by slightly competing but mostly – integrating. The beautiful words received from our recipients are greatest thank you to everyone involved in the charity event:
We don’t need wings to fly, we need people who help us not fall, people who opened their hearts to support us – which you undoubtedly are – for which we THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts!!!
A fantastic atmosphere during the whole Workshop event with both evening musical attractions as well as integration fun we all had – it all combined will make the XXX Jubilee National Workshops “Signalization and Fire Automation SAP 2024” go down in the history of POLON-ALFA with golden letters…
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO CELEBRATED THIS SPECIAL ANNIVERSARY WITH US!
See you in a year!
