At a time when the world is constantly changing, when technologies are developing at a pace once unimaginable, when the Internet has taken over as a virtual advisor and source of information on almost every topic, certain aspects of the world’s economies remain unchanged. One of these undeniably includes the key role played by coal in power generation and heavy industry.

This is evidenced by the activities of Polish mining companies, such as Jastrzębska Spółka Węglowa, which has been a leader in coal production for 30 years, as well as in innovation and sustainable development of the mining industry worldwide. Over the years, the Company has become an important partner for many enterprises, production plants and power plants, providing them with stable supplies of hard coal, which directly affects the energy security of our country, among others.

Key to maintaining the Company’s position internationally is its presence at one of the most important industry events in Europe and Poland, namely the EXPO KATOWICE International Fair (formerly: KATOWICE International Mining, Energy and Metallurgical Industries Fair), where JSW appears regularly.

The EXPO KATOWICE International Fair, which has been held for 40 years, is an excellent opportunity to showcase innovative solutions, products and services from various areas of the economy. Both Polish and foreign companies exhibit at the Fair, which attracts the attention of thousands of visitors, business representatives, as well as media and other institutions from around the world.

We are preparing for the next 20th Jubilee edition of the EXPO KATOWICE International Fair, which will be held on September 4-6, 2024. The first president of the EXPO KATOWICE Company, formerly: Polska Techniki Górniczej S.A., Dr. Henryk Stabla was the originator of the idea to create the Fair as an exhibition and discussion platform for the mining, energy and metallurgical industries. – says Iwona Gramatyka President of EXPO Katowice S.A.

Jastrzębska Spółka Węglowa has been participating in the EXPO KATOWICE International Fair for years, presenting its innovative solutions in coal mining and environmental protection.

The organization of the Mining Fair is of great importance for the mining industry, as it enables the company to present its latest technologies, increase brand visibility and establish valuable business contacts. These fairs allow for the exchange of knowledge and experience, and help identify trends and challenges facing the mining industry. Over the years we have had the pleasure of hosting many outstanding companies, including JSW S.A., which is a great honor for us. – Iwona Gramatyka emphasizes.

The success and prestige of the EXPO KATOWICE International Trade Fair is mainly due to the Exhibitors – the managers of the companies and the employees of these companies, who, throughout the 40 years of the event’s existence, sometimes taking place at a difficult time for the mining industry, have survived and were always present. Therefore, companies such as JSW, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, deserve great respect from the entire industry.

Best wishes to the Company’s Management Board and to all Employees and those who have contributed to the success of Jastrzębska Spółka Węglowa S.A. are expressed by the Management Board of EXPO Katowice S.A.

To celebrate this important event, I would like to wish the Management Board of Jastrzębska Spółka Węglowa and its Employees on the occasion of its 30th anniversary. This has been a wonderful period, which has contributed to the development of the Polish economy and increased the country’s energy security. I believe that the Company’s continued operations will be equally fruitful and rewarding, both for its Employees and for society as a whole. I wish you continued success, stable development and implementation of ambitious business plans.

The entire mining industry, and more broadly the mining and energy sectors, are cordially invited to participate in the 20th anniversary edition of the EXPO KATOWICE International Trade Fair, to be held September 4-6, 2024.
