What wydawnictwo westa-druk sp. z.o.o does

Wydawnictwo Westa-Druk sp. z o.o. is a privately held Polish limited liability company (spółka z ograniczoną odpowiedzialnością) headquartered at pl. Komuny Paryskiej 5a, Łódź, Poland, operating as a publishing house with registered share capital of 300,000 PLN and a headcount of 11–50 employees. Its core product is Tygodnik Angora, a weekly press-review publication (Przegląd prasy krajowej i światowej) that consolidates coverage of Polish and international media, politics, culture, and commentary into a single weekly issue, serving primarily Polish-speaking general readers and the Polish diaspora in Europe, USA, and Australia. The company operates print, digital, and audiobook extensions of this editorial brand.

The business generates revenue through a hybrid model combining recurring magazine subscriptions (both domestic and quarterly foreign editions at 300–325 PLN), advertising sales in Tygodnik Angora, e-commerce book sales through its own Sklep Angory storefront at sklep.angora.com.pl, and digital access via online reader accounts. Distribution is handled in-house domestically through a partnership with InPost (free Paczkomat 24/7 delivery) and outsourced internationally through exclusive partners — Peter Raczkiewicz Polish Media Group E (USA, Harwood Heights, IL) and Verlag Matuszczyk KG (Germany, Burscheid). Printing is outsourced to Drukarnia Prasowa SA in Łódź.

The technology footprint is modest: an iOS mobile application (App Store id 428646005) for reading the magazine, an e-commerce storefront, a digital archive of alternate cover designs ('Drugie Okładki'), an audio podcast series (Skarbiec Angory on SoundCloud), and a 'Nie Zagub Dziecka w Sieci' educational campaign co-developed with NASK and the Polish Ministry of Digital Affairs. A related youth sub-brand ANGORKA operates a youth journalism camp ('Potęga Prasy'), and the company has integrated a 'Bilet Wspólny' ticketing service platform. The company maintains an editorial team of approximately 30+ named journalists, columnists, illustrators, photo editors, and sales/advertising staff, with no disclosed AI/ML capabilities, patents, or external funding.
