How do I verify a Polish company's existence?

This question applies to Polish companies in general. But in my case, I was looking at the following:

Interprint Sublimation
Lomzynska 20/22, Lodz, Lodz - Poland, Poland

I wanted to know of any websites that I can use to verify and see this company's profile.

Dziejukie!

S.A. (Spółka Akcyjna), s.j. (spółka jawna), sp. z o.o. (Spółka z ograniczoną odpowiedzialnością):
- rejestr przedsiębiorców Krajowego Rejestru Sądowego (entrepreneurs registry of the National Court Register) or court registers (economic divisions) in the town where they have their head office.

s.c. (spółka cywilna):
- ewidencja działalności gospodarczej Urzędu Miasta - Town Hall's economic activity division

Every company has a REGON number given by GUS (Główny Urząd Statystyczny - Main Statistical Office) and NIP given by US (Urząd Skarbowy - Tax Office), maybe it's the way you can verify their existance, contacting the Urząd Statystyczny for Województwo Łódzkie, I'm not sure if this information is free of charge though :(

Thank you, Krzysztof!

The first: Phisical person have a name and have to use it in bussines(but it's not always executed) partnerships use names of partners and letters s.c. (civil law partnership- for small ones) s.j. (general partnership) or rarely s.k. or S.K-A.
Moral persons use any name and letters sp. z o.o. (limited liability company) or S.A. (stock company)
Officials registers are KRS (National Court Register) for companies and partneships without s.c. and Ewidencja Działalności Gospodarczej in every local community for sole propietorship- s.c. are not registered- only partners of them.
This are only open registers, normally not aviable in internet.
To check your bussines partner you have to know name of owner (probably one) and check him in Municipality of Łódz or maybe it's partnership or company.
I'm a lawyer- you can conact me

Czesc Quacer :), the best way to verify any company in the world including Poland is experian.com ... a complete credit check and not only ... It costs a bit but its worth it ... i do use this webside nearly everyday

Czesce Jess31! Can you clarify?

I do not see an option on Experian.com to check for international companies.

Dear Quacer ... throught this side you may apply for a credit check or a credit report of any company, such credit report includes information about the financial situation, exact profile of the company, owner(s), % of export and so on ... I guess you didn't even take your time to read the side carefully

I am surprised that you cannot check on the internet for info about Businesses and their total sales per year because it is very easy for German, British and French companies which have to publish every fiscal year their numbers.
Otherwise It is very risky .
How do you know if a Polish client or Business Partner is official and has money?
If you have to go to each city Town hall it sounds complicated.

Qacer: you are very welcome to visit INTERPRINT and meet our skilled people! We have an extensive range of heat transfer printing paper and special fabrics.
Our company is the sole Polish manufacturer of sublimation dye concentrates, inks and auxiliaries for screen, offset and rotogravure printing.
Most of the technical information are in our web pages, please feel free to ask when you have any question!

If you know their VAT number, you can run a check through the EU's website:
http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/vieshome.do?selectedLanguage =EN
However, this only works if the company has applied to make their VAT number valid in the EU - which for some strange reason isn't automatic. In other words, you could get a false negative if the company isn't an EU-registered VAT payer.
