What Fano Sp. z o. o. does

Fano Sp. z o. o. is a privately-held, family-owned Polish flexographic printing company headquartered at Łodygowa 30 in Warsaw's Targówek district. Founded on 1 August 1985 as an offset printing house, the company pivoted to flexographic printing in 1994 with its first six-color Nilpeter press and has since specialized in custom self-adhesive labels and packaging for demanding industry verticals. The company employs approximately 17 people and operates entirely on 100% Polish capital, with Vice President Bolesław Jasinowicz as the named executive leader.

The company's core product platform is HD FLEXO printing at 200-250 lines per inch resolution, paired with Computer-to-Plate pre-press, an in-house color kitchen with spectrophotometer-based PANTONE matching, and a 100% inspection system. Production is augmented by rotary screen printing, cold-stamping, varnishing, embossing, and lamination capabilities operated on a single-site, integrated workflow. The product portfolio spans self-adhesive labels (with industry-specific variants for cosmetics, food, meat, dairy, baking, automotive, and household chemicals), direct thermal and thermal transfer labels, promotional and peel-off labels, in-mould labels, wrap-around labels, BOPP packaging films, sachet laminates, soap wrappers, and shrink sleeves. Key partnerships include Mark Andy (presses), Avery Dennison and UPM Raflatac (label substrates), and FlintGroup and SunChemical (inks).

Fano operates a sales-led go-to-market via direct inquiry, phone, email, and trade show presence, with a multilingual Polish/English/German website serving as the digital storefront. Revenue is generated on a custom-manufacturing basis (each order produced to customer specification) with no publicly disclosed pricing. The customer base spans enterprise brand owners across multiple verticals; only one named customer (cheese manufacturer Président) is public, with that relationship having yielded the GRAND PRIX FLEXO 2010 award. Certifications include ISO 9001:2015, GMP, and GHP. Industry positioning is reinforced by Forbes Diamonds (2013, 2021), multi-year Business Gazelles awards (including 2020-2022), Pearls of Packaging (2010), and active participation in international trade shows such as Labelexpo, ANUGA, All in Print China, FACHPACK, and Interpack.
