The word Poland, Pole or Polish either does not ring a bell world-wide


Poland is a young country. What 20 years old?

Yup, and I agree with you on the US. There used to be quite a few hidden champions in the US. They were knocked out by regulation which favored huge companies (cost of compliance).


They were knocked out by the politics of feeding our manufacturing to East Asia and in return we get slave labor rates, more profits for owners and shareholders and international political leverage. We finance the whole mess with cheap money. Of course they justify all this with blab about "Free Market".

Pinching Pete:
I did recently see Consumer Reports auto special recently.. they all gave BMW , Mercedes and Audi even Porsche pretty low grades for quality, defects etc. And they're are typically pretty objective .. and usually praise the hell out of those companies.


Consumer Reports is anything but objective. Do you think Toyota's problems just started a year or two ago?

convex:
Over the last 30 years, the US has shifted from innovation to surviving on handouts that the gracious government


In the US try getting operating capital from anyone else. Lots of Luck. More of that Free Market baloney.

Before I had been there: Lech Walęsa; coal; cold winters & Copernicus.

That's it.

Kind of a hero in Ireland among the hard left revolutionary types.

Would have thought he was pretty much known world wide during the whole Solidarity thing though?

Same goes for products, are there any Polish producers known for their quality around the world?


Yes. I watch "Firma II. Pierwszy million" and I'm suprised how many good companies we have. It's all about being very deep inside some line of business to know that.

I've also read some article about guy who invented and make lots of patents in medical equipment and his company make it best in the world. I can't find this article but it was really intresting and showing that Polak jednak potrafi.

No kidding

it's the medium sized businesses. The ones building forklifts, bearings, rock crushers, panels for aircraft, screens for plasma tvs, etc. Poland should follow the same model.


and it follows this model. That's why you have never heard about any polish company. We don't make chairs but we make springs for seats of these chairs. It would be insane to make another brand of cars or electronics when there are loads of companies who produce it and have experience. You have to find a niche. Making a niche business is not so spectacular like producing main stream products. Who cares that maybe some polish company makes the best sails for bouts? That's the problem... but, hey who said that we have to be spectacular and compete with Sony? ;)
