About us
The OPUS company was established in the year 1990. The founders of the firm took advantage of the new economic situation in Poland and set up their own enterprise.
They have chosen to deal in the office supplies, narrowing their offer to a specific field of office machines and supplies, planning to introduce them into the market of the whole Poland. That task wasn't easy to do, since binding and laminating systems of securing documentation, as well as trimmers or cutters were not popular at that time.
Since that time the OPUS Company had a few main objectives:
- To create the sales network basing on the dealers and its own subsidiaries.
- Development of the production of the office machines and supplies.
- Introducing OPUS brand into the markets of the whole Europe.
- Inventing new products and new systems for binding documents.
In December 1999 the OPUS Company successfully introduced and went through the certification audit of the quality standards ISO 9001 : 1994. OPUS Company is proud of its high position on the market of the Central Europe, being the biggest manufacturer of the office binding machines and the supplies to them. In the sector of office supplies OPUS is the only Polish brand present on the European markets for several years. OPUS is also the sole representative in Poland of the German company IDEAL, which produces cutters, trimmers and shredders.
The OPUS Company employs altogether 200 people, and reaches its client through the biggest in this brand in Poland net work of subsidiaries and its own dealers. There are two subsidiaries of the OPUS Company abroad - in Prague and in Kiev.
After fifteen years of OPUS presence on the market, its employees are proud of it's rank. The leading position on the market in the brand of office equipment was achieved thanks to the professional and effective management combined with high ethic of the workers, for whom the most important thing is to make the client be satisfied with OPUS offer and services.
