We are now selling our first ink products through our website, we are actively delivering on customer needs through our collaborations with NXN-IP and RISE, and we are strengthening our inks portfolio. Inks are central to our business growth. It's great to have Piotr fortify our efforts in this area."

I am eager to become a part of this highly dedicated team of pioneers while bringing complementary ink development experience to expand and strengthen the company's product portfolio. I am committed to aiming for high-quality standards and fast response to market demands, which are vital for great commercial success," said Wierzchowiec.
