ETISOFT, based in Gliwice, was founded in 1993. Since the very beginning, the primary business of the company has been thermal transfer printing. As an authorized processor and distributor of technical self-adhesive foils from 3M, ETISOFT became one of the biggest Polish suppliers of self-adhesive labels for industrial applications.
Since 1996, ETISOFT has been the official representative of CITIZEN in Poland and offers a full range of industrial printers, authorized warranty and post-warranty service, and the availability of original spare parts and consumables for thermal transfer printers.
To further develop the company ,new products and system solutions are now on offer. ZEBEX barcode scanners and data collectors joined the list of these products. The development of Polish-language software for thermal transfer printers, together with versions enhanced with additional modules, enabled the company to utilize the devices in full and to propose ready-made system solutions.
Intensive market demand for high-quality consumables spurred the decision to purchase equipment for coloring ribbon confectioning. Since that time, ETISOFT has been the biggest Polish processor of thermal transfer ribbons from renowned manufacturers (RICOH, SONY, IIMAK, DYNIC, DNP). Thanks to the commitment to regular investment, the company has the most modern machine park for label manufacturing and printing.
The necessity to react quickly to the needs of customers from all over Poland was the reason for the development of ETISOFT distributors’ network. The further development of the company was marked by opening of the Czech Republic branch (2002) and German branch (2004). Close cooperation between the branches and rapid order execution are the basic criteria for the effective operation of the ETISOFT group.
Aiming to maintain the constant improvement of the product and service quality, the company implemented a quality management system under ISO 9001:2000 standard. The proof of the correct operation of the system is a certificate issued by TÜV CERT.
In late 2005, ETISOFT was accepted into the Business Gazelles’ 2005 ranking list. In order to gain such merit it was necessary to meet stringent criteria, not easily achievable in the reality of the Polish economy.
