Corporate Vision June 2017

38 CORPORATE VISION / June 2017 , Being named as the 2017 EmergingMarkets Top 50 – Poland Representative is a big privilege forMia. It was a real pleasure to participate in the SUBWAY®European Partner Conference inWicklow, Ireland last November. Words of Gratitude to the Whole Subway Family At the time of the European Partner Conference late last year we experienced the familiar atmosphere of the company and its business partners and had many fruitful discussions with different suppliers taking part in the event. We started collaborating with Subway in 2015 and after a year, we received our first order from them. This award is also very precious because we seem to share the same values as the whole Subway family of companies – suppliers like us, whom we met in Ireland. Transparency, sustainable development, an environmentally friendly system, supporting business partners and helping people towards a better life by giving outstanding performance and attitude examples mean very much for us. In addition to these values, we learned a lot during the conference and we are very proud to participate in changing the world’s habits and the creation of a new nutrition culture. MIA group characteristics We are a Polish shopfitting company. As a group created by Mia and established in 1999 in Krakow, ISM registered in Moscow in 2012 and ISM Kazakhstan in Astana since last month, we have access to a market of about 1 billion consumers covering the whole of Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States, including Russia. We employ about 100 people in the group and generate a yearly turnover of 10 million Euro with about 2000 manufacturing and 25 general construction projects. Multinational noble clients Besides Subway we are collaborating in the international market with many other famous clients like: Triumph International, Swarovski, Swatch group, Inditex, Lacoste, Escada, Sephora, Shiseido, Seidensticker, Nike, Philip Morris and many others. 18 years’ international experience During 18 years of international development, we have implemented tens of thousands of various products in production. We can design the appearance of a fitness centre chain, a Crossfit box, a large sales salon or a small shop-in-shop stand. Our portfolio includes hundreds of public interior adaptation projects. We specialise in commercial chains, mainly retail and fitness branches. We also know what a modern office – designed according to the latest trends and ready for adaptation around the world – should look like. We have the know-how and experience in making them the best they can be, because our company interior was also created in this way. We design public interior space concepts as a standards manual, which allows for later copying of the firm’s visual identification in any part of the world. Eye-Catch design and value engineering We also can help clients put other designers’ ideas or their own concepts into production. In the picture at the end of this article, you can see a counter designed as a real boat for visual merchandising targets of our client Campione, which sells maritime-style clothing. This is an example of how we can increase brand visibility by using its core communication elements. We suggest various material and construction solutions, which will meet budget and commercial expectations. We find optimal combinations of structure, form and ergonomics within the set financial goals. Thanks to our optimisation solutions, many customers have improved their furnishings and are now purchasing them for much less. We work using the very advanced Inventor software, which makes it easy to prepare flawless technical drawings. Our engineers have the knowledge and experience in making a variety of point of sales materials and amazing furniture products, often made from hard-to-find raw materials, using complex technologies. Thanks to the teamwork and close cooperation of the constructors with the production department and our subcontractors, new furniture is created at MIA at a dynamic pace while retaining high quality standards. Our technical documentation, together with the above- mentioned visualisations of interiors and furnishings, is the main tool of the entire company. Manufacturing in Poland We work with dozens of production plants – proven companies in various industries – on a daily basis. Our components are manufactured by carpenters, locksmiths, glaziers, plastics specialists and others, under the supervision of project managers. All production is based on our technical documentation. Finished furniture parts arrive at their final destination, where assembly and final quality control takes place – this is where the finished product is made. We have also developed our own ERP software, which facilitates just-in-time production, as well as information and quality management throughout the supply chain. Such organisation allows us to flexibly adapt to changing demand and choose the right production solutions for different types of clients. Transport and assembly organization Thanks to many years of cooperation with shippers and carriers, we use proven transport solutions that enable us to react immediately to changing construction conditions. We can divide shipments into smaller ones and send furniture to distant parts of Europe more quickly, when something unexpected happens while carrying out a 1706CV03
