OLTOM drukarnia

What OLTOM drukarnia does

OLTOM Premium Packaging is a privately-held Polish family business, founded in 1991 in Łódź as a home-basement printing shop by Antoni and Elżbieta Korościk, that has evolved into a specialized premium cardboard packaging producer serving enterprise B2C brands across cosmetics, pharmaceutical, medical, food, and textile industries. The company operates under the legal entity Drukarnia OLTOM Korościk sp.k. and is led in its second generation by Tomasz Korościk (President), with reported net turnover of +8 million euros, +100 specialists, +80 million premium packages produced annually, and a +3,000 m² manufacturing facility on Wersalska Street in Łódź. Anchor customers include BAT, Rossmann, STARPHARMA, OLIMP, OLEOFARM, eSMOKING, and European Media Group.

The technical platform combines conventional offset, UV offset, and digital printing on a Heidelberg-based machinery fleet (including XL75-7+L and XL75-5+L LE UV installations), with Heidelberg Workflow production management, the HIFLOW MIS/MES system automating quoting through logistics, an Invision DH-SF/HSJP650-21NBNAC optical quality control machine installed in 2026, and proprietary technology including an antiviral/antibacterial barrier layer using zinc oxide nanoparticle varnish and NFC-enabled interactive packaging. The service offering covers structural design, prepress, prototyping, refining (tactile, metallic, specialty coatings, security features), post-press (precision die-cutting, multi-point gluing, pharma code verification, sheet laminating), quality control, warehousing, and delivery under one integrated roof.

Revenue is generated through custom project-based quotation for enterprise B2B clients, with multi-year contracts and pricing driven by brief, technical specifications, structural complexity, substrate selection, refinements, and order volume. The go-to-market combines a dedicated direct sales team with Project Managers, Head of Sales, and department heads, supplemented by international trade fair presence (Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna, Cosmetic Business Munich, Warsaw Pack, PCI Days Warsaw) for foreign market expansion. Major capital projects have been co-financed by European Regional Development Fund and WFOŚiGW Łódź programs, including antiviral packaging (PLN 12.1M), NFC packaging (PLN 9.2M), energy efficiency modernization (PLN 16.1M), photovoltaic installation (PLN 840K), and international market expansion (PLN 552K). The company holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 12647-2:2013, and FSC C153969 certifications, sources 100% of electricity from renewables (30% on-site photovoltaic, remainder certified renewable supply), and rebranded in 2026 as 'OLTOM Premium Packaging.'
