Dear Readers,

The year 2012 will bring us some changes in

issues. From now on we will meet more often

printing WIadomości Inter Cars. Thanks to this

you will be more up to date with all the latest

news from the industry and automotive market

and with the latest Inter Cars off er. New year will

also bring some fresh ideas. One of them is the

e-issue of the magazine. E-issues are electronic

equivalents of traditional printed magazine, but

enriched with multimedia contents(videos, ani-

mations), with active links (hyperlinks) to parti-

cular web pages. Such innovation is off ered to

those who prefer to look through the press on the

screen of their computers. More traditional Cu-

stomers will still be off ered the paper issue, with

new parts and contents.

Taking care of further dynamic development of

our cooperation and good communication with

our readers we have launched two new columns

with fi nancial and law advices. We are also en-

larging the “Garage” part of our magazine, with

technical advices, mostly fi lling it with more in-

formation regarding the truck market. Seasonal

topics will be touched in „the topic of the num-

ber” and in our technical supplements. New au-

thors will be presented, e.g. Rafał Kosiński, Prac-

tical Skills Academy Expert, with which we are

cooperating regarding practical trainings. Sport

fans will fi nd something for themselves as well,

e.g. reports from spectacular sporting events or

exclusive rewards, such as softshell jackets, MP5

players and the most modern tablets and coff ee

machines. Two contests are also very interesting

for motorization fans, “Hawk eye” and “Take it

easy” are concerning the history of Polish auto-

motive industry.

I would also like to invite you to take part in our

most recent promotion called Garage Maters’

Gala (GMG), where you can win 12 Ford Fiesta

vehicles! You will fi nd all the relevant informa-

tion regarding the whole event in the article, and

readers using e-issue will also be able to get to the

event webpage using active hyperlinks.

I send you my best regards and wish you all

a pleasant reading,

Joanna Król

K r z y s z t o f O l e k s o w i c z

I n t e r C a r s S A F o u n d e r , M e m b e r o f t h e B o a r d

Dear All!

The beginning of the year always brings lots of

new hopes and dreams, but also lots of fears. The

fi rst are usually concerning some kind of impro-

vement of our life, health or personal or econo-

mical situation. Very often they fi ll us with new

energy to take some actions and give us new

perspective. But sometimes they also take away

reasonable judgement of reality. Fears on one

hand scare us with threats that we can meet on

our way, taking away the will and power to take

up challenges. But on the other hand they help

us not to be too optimistic and to rationalize our

current undertakings. So each situation, in which

we can be, can be a good chance to develop and

grow, or totally opposite – to stop and become

passive.

The same rules apply to our industrial environ-

ment, which is the independent automotive in-

dustry of spare parts and services. On one hand

we are experiencing the crisis, which is expressed

by a decreased number of vehicles on the ro-

ads. Because of constantly growing fuel prices,

quotation from ING Bank Śląski webpage, 58%

of drivers going by private cars stated that within

the last 12 months they limited the number of

kilometres covered in their cars. Every twentieth

(5%) moved to public transport.

On the other hand Gazeta Prawna Daily Paper on

their webpage gives information about still gro-

wing number of new cars’ owners, who decide

to perform periodic checks of their cars not in OE

garages, but in independent ones. According to

Alfred Franke, the President of Automotive Spa-

re Parts Distributors Association, 20-30% of new

cars owners can now be using the independent

garages to perform periodic checks. And 4-5

years ago the number of drivers servicing their

cars within guarantee period in independent ga-

rages was almost equal zero. The reason for new

cars owners for passing from OE garages to inde-

pendent garages is not only advantage of lower

prices, according to Tadeusz Kuncy, GIPA Poland

Director, but also bad coverage of OE servicing

chain. We mean here mostly makes which mar-

ket share in registered cars is less than 3 % in our

country. They are e.g. Volvo, Mitsubishi and even

Citroen or Peugeot. It is a well known fact that

the barrier for the driver, which drives the driver

away from visiting OE garage is the distance lon-

ger than 50 kilometres.

Facing those two extreme information, we need

to ask ourselves a questions, how to get advan-

tage from such a situation on the market, no

matter if we have a negative or positive point of

view on it?

Inter Cars S.A., as one of the biggest spare parts

distributors for passenger cars and trucks in

Europe, is a good partner not only in the pro-

sperity time, but also in the time of crisis. More

than 20 years of our history proves that we are a

stable and loyal partner for our Customers. The

mission from the very beginning of Inter Cars

S.A. was constant improvement of Customer

service level, by assuring the best availability

and biggest variety of the off er, together with

minimizing the time of delivering the goods to

garages. Moreover our company looks after the

process of constant enlargement of investment

off er, in the area of Garage Equipment, and also

trainings and technical support for Customers,

called Technical HelpDesk. It would be impos-

sible to prepare such a wide off er without close

cooperation with spare parts manufacturers of

Premium brands. Those manufacturers set the

most modern trends in automotive industry

development, because they are responsible for

more and more complicated orders from car

manufacturers. Thanks to cooperation with tho-

se manufacturers, we as Inter Cars S.A. have quick

access to knowledge regarding the construction

of most modern cars. That is why cooperation

with us is a guarantee of taking advantage of all

the opportunities which are off ered by not easy

industrial environment.

Besides all actions directly connected with in-

dependent automotive spare parts and services

market, Inter Cars S.A. also supports initiatives

for all companies from our industry, taken by

Automotive Spare Parts Distributors and Manu-

facturers Association SDCM. As an example of

effi ciency of actions taken by SDCM I would like

to quote information given above from Gazeta

Prawna Daily Paper. We can see clearly that all

the years of educating the drivers were not in

vain. It is only a pity that not all distributors and

manufacturers want to support solutions which

are favourable for all participants of automotive

market.

That is why I strongly recommend regular visits

to SDCM website at www.sdcm.pl, where you

will be able to fi nd current list of companies,

which care for development and well being of

garages in Poland.

Inter Cars S.A. is a good partner not only for prosperity times but also for the

crisis. That is why cooperation with us is a guarantee of taking advantage of

all the opportunities which are off ered by not easy industrial environment.

The idea of these meetings is to honour the

best Customers of Inter Cars S.A., presenting

the most modern solutions off ered by the in-

dustry and also delivering positive emotions

and experiences. But the most important and

priceless seems to be common bonding event

and possibility of meeting together with pro-

fessionals from the industry.

Not without a reason Garage Masters’ Gala is

called “GALA”. All the best Customers of Inter

Cars S.A. together with their partners, sponsors

of the event, VIP club members and chain ga-

rages take part in the event. This elite group

of people will meet in the middle of June in

Gołębiewski Hotel in Karpacz. Customers, who

already took part in the event in previous years

sionals – people who are engaged with whole

their hearts in development and improvement

igns, on the following dates: 15.02 – 15.03,

INVESTMENT IN GARAGE DEVELOPMENT Competition between garages is not the most

important. Really everyone in this promotion will

be the winner, because he will be using Premium

products in his garage. These products stand for

quality and safety for the driver. Assembling them

you are investing in development of your garage.

Customers become loyal towards you because

you off er them reliable and durable spare parts.

Why it is worth to compete till the last moment in Garage Masters’ Gala?

Radosław Grześkowiak Marketing and Adverti-

sing Department Director.

The rules of additional Garage Maters’ Gala pro-

motion were constructed in such a way, to make

it possible for the biggest number of Customers

to be rewarded with the biggest possible num-

ber of prizes. This year we decided to focus on

replacement cars for garages. Those will be mid-

dle class vehicles – Fords Fiesta Trend 1.25 Dura-

tec with air-conditioning. Those garages which

within the promotion period get the biggest

number of points in their class for purchasing

promotional goods will become their owners.

This way we will reward 9 cars – 3 for garages,

garage-shops and truck garages. But we have

a surprise for you. All participants, who within

the promotion period will gather the right num-

ber of points, allowing them to participate in

Garage Masters’ Gala Finale in Gołębiewski Hotel

in Karpacz, will have the chance to get one of

3 additional Ford Fiesta cars sponsored by stra-

tegic partners of the campaign, that is BOSCH,

CASTROL and RUVILLE. That is why it is worth

to participate in the promotion actively till the

last moment and to gather points. Thanks to

this the fate will have the chance to favour you,

and you will have the possibility to become the

owner of one of those vehicles, and additionally

you will have a chance to participate in all attrac-

tions we have prepared especially for you for the

Garage Masters’ Gala.

Sławomir KosekRobert Bosch Sp. z o.o., Automotive Aftermarket Marketing Department

The most recent years is a fast development

of automotive technology. ABS and ESP sys-

tems, more and more modern injection con-

trol systems for Diesel and petrol engines,

Park Assist systems, Adaptive Cruise Control

systems, blind spot monitoring systems, sta-

bility control systems in curves, lane control

systems, driver’s concentration control system,

low speed anti-collision systems, road signs

recognition systems, windscreen information

displays with night-vision device and many

more will in the near future become a stan-

dard equipment of each car. So all garages

off ering only mechanical services will soon

become obsolete.

The result of such progress is that less and less

repairs can be performed by the user and that

less and less part of repair services is the pri-

ce of spare parts, but the bigger and bigger

part is the cost of using diagnostic devices and

special technical knowledge of employees.

Bosch Company takes active part in creating

new trends in the industry. Because of the fact

that they are an important supplier of parts,

systems and whole solutions for the fi rst as-

sembly, they are creating them together with

car manufacturers. Thanks to this they are able

to off er them on aftermarket as well, with su-

itable quality, just like in OE garages. We are

off ering garages special diagnostic devices

prepared to cooperate with all the systems

created by our Company for the fi rst assem-

bly. Those devices are optimized in order to

cooperate with the biggest possible range of

vehicles and systems, communicate with ve-

hicles correctly and also to be user friendly as

much as possible.

Leszek RadzikowskiNational Distributor Sales Manager

Modern servicing garage must meet the

expectations of the most demanding Custo-

mers. Not only the quality of used parts is

important, but also technical knowledge, the

right customer care, availability of gaining

new Customers and promotion of the garage

in the market. The biggest chance of success

have those garages which invest in top quali-

ty, and those gathered round a strong brand,

such as e.g. Castrol. Cooperation with a well

known brand is the sign for the Customers

that they can trust such a garage and expect

good quality products and services in it. Ga-

rages cooperating with Castrol Company are

off ered such added values as trainings, tech-

nical support and constant process of suppor-

ting independent garages with investment

contracts, which are to increase the level of

off ered services. Being one of offi cial UEFA

Euro 2012 ™ sponsors, we have prepared also

a great campaign for garages, connected with

Euro Championships, where the tickets and

other football gadgets are given as rewards.

The garages are off ered the access to a vide

range of products in order to meet Customers’

needs regarding the most effi cient oils.

Garage Masters’ Gala, in which Castrol is one of

the strategic sponsors, will be a meeting of the

best garages, investing in top quality of servi-

ces and goods. The winners of the campaign

organized by our strategic partner – Inter Cars

S.A. will be rewarded with very valuable and

attractive prizes, sponsored also by Castrol

Company. We wish all participants of the con-

test good luck and great fun during the Gala

in Karpacz.

Marcin KondraciukEgon von Ruville, Key Account Manager for Eastern Europe

Having reliable and trustworthy business part-

ners and suppliers is nowhere so important as

in repair business. RUVILLE Company from Ham-

burg off ers a wide variety of repair kits adapted

to customers’ needs internationally. Suitable for

garages and also for wholesalers.

The off er is carefully selected and constantly de-

veloped, depending on the conditions on the

market. RUVILLE kits are based on competence,

innovation and creation of the Company and

they deliver eff ective and professional repair so-

lutions. Their basis is assumption that quality, re-

liability and value for money are the most impor-

tant things. And this is how it works for 90 years

now! Complete solutions with OE quality save

time and money for garages and Customers.

Your trust is crucial for us. Together with our ol-

dest customer in Poland – Inter Cars S.A. Com-

pany - we will be trying to put emphasis on this

matter during Garage Masters’ Gala in Karpacz,

right now we wish you all great fun.

Modern cars manufactured nowa-days are composed of about 15-20 thousand parts. Toyota even gives the number 30 thousand, which includes all, even the smal-lest parts such as screws!Most of those elements are not changed in

the period of running the car. The rest are

easily available from independent aftermarket,

that is without the logo of a car manufacturer.

Thanks to such parts the cost of running the

car can be much lower.

Car manufacturers order their parts with their

own logo, no matter who produces them. Si-

milar (but not always the same) parts are also

off ered in OE garages – also with car manu-

facturer’s logo. This is how they create the im-

pression that all those parts are produced in

factories belonging to those Companies.

But most of the parts, e.g. electronic elements,

lighting, engine parts, suspension, brakes,

drive transmission systems, are manufactu-

red by independent companies – specialized

manufacturers, having their own research and

testing centres and experienced constructors

and designers. They are companies such as,

Bosch, Brembo, Magneti Marelli, Delphi, Valeo,

TRW Automotive and hundreds of other com-

panies in Poland, and thousands of them in

Europe.

„Those companies deliver a part of their produc-

tion to car manufacturers for the fi rs assembly,

and a part of it they off er to independent after-

market via the chain of wholesalers, shops and

automotive garages. They are the same ele-

ments, with only diff erent packaging, logo and of

course price” – explains Alfred Franke, the Pre-

sident of Automotive Spare Parts Distributors

and Manufacturers Association.

Independent manufacturers have a very wide

off er of parts for many makes and models of

cars, e.g. Brembo has about 1,600 references

of brake disks and drums, and TRW has over

1,400 diff erent kinds of brake pads, what co-

vers 98% of European fl eet of cars. Of course

not all those parts are manufactured only and

exclusively for car manufacturers and their ne-

eds. They are delivered to the market called

parts with comparable quality. Their quality is

confi rmed by their manufacturer or bay the di-

stributor, and they bare legal responsibility, so

the quality must be equal the parts which are

used for the fi rst assembly by car manufactu-

rers. But their price is very often much lower.

The legal side of this spare parts is regulated

80% of parts used for assembling the cars in

factories are developed and manu-factured by independent parts

manufacturers.

20% of parts

are manufactured by car com-

panies (mostly construction

elements, which are usually not

changed).

For example:Model: Audi A6 from 2006 Product: Xenon bulbs change Authorized OE garage: 1360 PLN (960 PLN for the bulbs and 400 PLN for the cost of work)!Independent garage: 370 PLN (270 PLN for the parts and 100 PLN for the cost of work).

Dear Readers,

I am sure that not once and not twice in your

business life you have met many doubts re-

garding fi nancial, accountancy and legal

wording. Many times when reading some

law act or regulation you are thinking: “All

right, but what does this mean for me? What

does it mean for my company?” Next you

need to browse the problem in diff erent In-

ternet forums, reading lots of comments and

opinions. But are they reliable and trustwor-

thy? Taking into consideration your good

and developing our cooperation, we have a

new proposal for our readers, new column

in which we will be presenting all necessary

and really interesting for you information.

by European Commission Directive 461/2010

together with guidelines, known in Poland

as GVO. This directive not only classifi es the

parts, but also describes in what situations and

which of those parts can be used in order not

to lose the guarantee for the car, if we have it.

Arising from guarantee, free of charge repair in

case of a malfunction, can be performed only

in authorized OE garage, but periodic check

and maintenance services connected with

changing running parts can be performed in

an independent garage, using original parts

(no matter if they are in car manufacturer’s

packaging or the packaging of their real ma-

nufacturer) or using parts with comparable

quality. In case of cars, which are no longer

under guarantee, we have a completely free

choice.

In European Union there are over 90 Directives

regarding homologation and certifi cation of

automotive spare parts. This means that parts,

which are sold in independent garage, can gu-

arantee the Customers the right level of safety

and also environmental protection.

In this column we will be publi-shing legal advices regarding automotive industry and garage services. Below example descri-bes the situation of Mr Hare and Mr Wolf, representing indepen-dent and OE garage, who met in the court of law in order to settle a dispute, which is so much up--to-date at the moment.Engineer Hare entered law court building

very unwillingly. He did not like the whole

administration of justice, layers, their self-ri-

ghteousness and hardihood. But he had no

choice – he was sued. Mr Wolf – his former

business partner, today owner of OE garage

in the capital city of a voivodeship, was alre-

ady in the court. “XZX’ Chambers talked him

into a case, a spectacular case – as they said.

„We will get that Hare, others will stop distur-

bing you and of course our brand!” – in this

place they turned to the representative of a

well known brand. „The independent should

be repairing bicycles” – giggled in their silky

suits the layers of Mr Wolf.

The Court asked who was the author of the

slogan „We repair LEPO and VW”, Mr Hare

relied according to the truth – „My grandfa-

ther created this slogan in the 30s”.

„Do you know the procedure XYZ necessary for

the right opening of the door of repaired cars

made by KARLAR?” - asked one of the silky

layers.

„I have passed matriculation, I also have an

engineer diploma, and thirty years of expe-

rience, full equipment of the garage, I know

this procedure, but I try to open the door using

a door handle” – replied Mr Hare with a little

irritation.

Leaving the court of law, Mr Hare wanted to

say goodbye to Mr Wolf, send his greetings

to his wife. But he did not manage. In his

ears he could still hear judge’s words – „The

defendant had the full right to hang his ad-

vertisements in the form he had done it, and

to distribute leafl ets showing the logos and

using brand names of well known automo-

tive companies – because the advertisement

Taking care of comfort of participants and

top quality of trainings being performed in

our new training truck, which had its premie-

re during the 11th EXPO of Spare Parts, Tools

and Garage Equipment of Inter Cars S.A. The

new car is air-conditioned and heated training

room, most modern multimedia devices (e.g.

fi rst LCD television sets, which just by pushing

one button convert standard 2D picture into a

3D one), comfortable chairs and lots of other

conveniences. “Together with our business

partners we have prepared lots of attractive

trainings for the year 2012, so that everyone

can fi nd something interesting for him. Tra-

inings will take place nearby Inter Cars S.A.

branches in selected cities. “ - emphasises Rafał

Jaskułka, Event Department Manager of Inter

Cars S.A., responsible for the ShowCar project.

Rafał JaskułkaRafał Jaskułka

ShowCar 2012Invest in yourself and your employees – is a slogan which is a motto of the innovative Inter Cars S.A. project – ShowCar. In cities of Poland there will be free of charge technical trainings.

„A very good idea, each year we can notice still gro-

wing interest and bigger number of participants

of trainings within ShowCar project. The car itself

presents very well and causes big interest of people

passing by the branch, which is also an additional

promotion for each branch (getting more retail

customers). Trainings on the trailer are something

absolutely diff erent that classical trainings inside

a room, not each room is air-conditioned, but the

trailer always off ers ideal temperature for trainings,

which is even more important in the summer.

The subjects of the trainings are varied, which me-

ans that each customer will be able to fi nd some

interesting topic for him.”

Katarzyna Pawlik, Inter Cars Rybnik Group

„Each training within the ShowCar project, in

which we are participating, is a chance for us to

present our products, show new items in the off er,

share knowledge regarding the right assembly of

running parts on a car. We are also passing infor-

mation regarding servicing with our devices for se-

rvicing and maintenance modern brake systems.

Trainings are also a chance to meet directly with

mechanics, garage owners, to get to know the

real problems which appear in garages, thanks

to which we are able to adapt our off er to the real

needs of the market. Our trainings present issues

which might appear when servicing modern cars

ShowCar 2012in garages. Our Training Department prepares ca-

refully all the materials for trainings, which always

meet market and garage needs and expectations.

Mobile meetings with mechanics is a very attracti-

ve way of encouraging people to take part in tra-

inings. It is an automotive industry, so the idea of

meeting on board of a trailer is a 100% good idea.

It is for sure an attraction for the participants. It

allows fast moving, which means that in a short

time we are able to visit many places and many

customers.”

Marek Warmus, ATE 

„The decision about ContiTech participation in

ShowCar project was a typical “bang on”. After the

fi rst training in Legionowo we knew, that is was the

right decision. Inter Cars S.A. creating its ShowCar

project took us to a week long event, during which

each participant takes part in fi ve training days

conducted by leading suppliers. During this time

everyone has a chance to get to know the off er, ga-

rage programmes, can get technical support. For

us the most important is the possibility of contact

with industry professionals and together develo-

ping our common passions. I do believe, that for

many of us work goes together with passion.

ContiTech trainers develop themselves together

with trainings, we are always reacting quickly

and responding all the signals coming from the

market, that is why each participant is always

up-to-date with the most modern news, which

are given to us directly from our headquarters in

Germany. During trainings we are realizing topics

connected with the right parts matching, proper

disassembly and assembly of belts in timing sys-

tems, reasons of belt malfunctions and ways of

preventing them, together with legal aspects con-

nected with spare parts assembly.

Besides information aspect of the trainings, all the

participants are given a ContiTech training partici-

pation certifi cated and additionally they can buy

a Tüvpol Certifi cate (TÜV Thüringen branch).

For ContiTech, participating in ShowCar training

project is now a fi xed element of annual training

schedule.”

Jacek Sozański, ContiTech Poland.

Those who decided to take advantage of this

possibility were invited to take part in intere-

sting activity, of course in motor sport atmo-

sphere. Each of invited Customers, C1 owners,

set one driver to take part in a competition. De-

spite a freezing weather and wet surface, C1s

were equipped with standard road tyres, with

no spikes. Participants took the competition

very seriously and professionally, that is why

they started the day with a training of fast and

safe driving. Precious and practical advices and

tips were given by Piotr Wróblewski - owner of

a Rally School. After the theoretical part, par-

ticipants could use the knowledge in practice,

driving the trial rounds. Everybody set behind

the wheels of their cars and tried to go through

the track as fast as possible.

Additional attraction for the participants was

co-drive with Bartek Ostałowski in his Nissan

Skyline R34 and co-drive with Krzystof Olekso-

wicz testing his Subaru Impreza N14. Those of

you who do not know it yet, we want to inform

that Bartek’s extraordinary skills are that he dri-

ves his car in a drift using his feet! At present he

has international FIA racing driver licence.

C1 contestIn previous years Inter Cars S.A. customers were off ered a possibility of renting Citroen C1 as a substitute car for their garages.

Finally the best lap time was recorded and the winner were:

I place: Kacper MałeckiII place: Filip Małecki

„Each year the cars become more and more com-

plicated, and this forces garage owners to invest

in the right devices and tools allowing them to

repair and maintain the cars in a proper way.

Without the right technological equipment, and

also necessary technical knowledge of mechanics,

servicing such modern cars would just be not po-

ssible” – says Radosła Grześkowiak, Marketing and

Advertising Director of Inter Cars S.A.

„In line with technological advancement of cars

and with growth of customers’ wallets, their

expectations regarding a garage are also growing.

Today having the right reception and waiting

room and other facilities which will be noticed

by the Customer is one of the most crucial points.

Modern garage must also have a replacement car

for their Customers. Most drivers leaving their car

even only for one day, expect that the garage will

correctly diagnose the malfunction and repair it,

but also that it will off er them a replacement car

for the time of repair.

In the past mostly OE garages off ered their custo-

mers replacement cars, but nowadays more and

more independent garages also have replacement

cars in their off er. Also expectations regarding the

make and model of a replacement cars have gone

up. Very few customers will be satisfi ed with a

more than 10 year old car from the lowest market

segment. Customer now expects quite new and

reliable car with air-conditioning and other sys-

tems commonly installed in modern cars. Just the

fact of having a replacement car in the off er has a

great infl uence on choosing this particular garage

to perform the necessary repairs, as opposed to the

one which does not off er such an advantage. This

means that the garage gains new loyal customers,

satisfi ed with the service, as a result it becomes

more competitive on the market. In other words a

replacement car for the customer is the same inve-

stment in its development as purchasing modern

devices and tools”- convinces R. Grześkowiak.

In January this year we have launched Regional

Training Centre in cooperation with Practical Tra-

ining Centre in Grudziądz. The grand opening

was visited by vice president of Grudziądz city

– Przemysław Ślusarski, the Chairperson of Edu-

cation Commission in town council in Grudziądz

– Joanna Iwanowsa and PTC Director, together

with Inter Cars S.A. representatives. The meeting

was also participated by BOSCH and CASTROL

representatives – the sponsors of the campaign,

and also ITS representative, who bare the patro-

nage of the programme. Also teachers and em-

ployees of neighbouring garages were present.

During the event in Grudziądz, invited guests co-

uld hear the speech about current situation in Po-

lish vocational schools. They could get to know

all the advantages of participating in Young HR

programme. On behalf of Grudziądz city, vice

president of the city collected tools and devices

which will be used at school for HR education.

Another schools, another HR“Young HR” is a programme created by Inter Cars S.A., which is aimed to cooperate with the schools, by e.g. equipping them with the most modern diagnostic and repair devices for automotive industry. It also delivers the necessary knowledge for educa-ting young HR; it is also a “work trampoline” which helps young people to start their adult lives. The programme supports knowledge contests, and apprentices for the best students.

„Thanks to right educa-tion the chances of get-ting into adult work life for young generation are growing. Besides highly skilled educating team, we also need highly so-phisticated equipment. It is especially important

within the process of vocational schooling, whe-re theoretical knowledge has to be supported with thorough practical trainings. That is why we came here with several representatives of companies supporting “Young HR” programme, to give you the necessary tools and garage equ-ipment, which are really needed during practical trainings. Thanks to them the students will be able to learn various ways of diagnostic methods and repairing modern cars”– said during the event Robert Kierzek, the President of In-ter Cars S.A.

CONTACTCoordinator of the project (Inter Cars S.A.) is

Maciej Bobrowski, tel. 669 900 761Coordinator of the project implemented in

Gorzów is Katarzyna Mędrkiewicz, tel.: 603 914 715

„We realize that vocational education must involve current and dynamic development of automotive market and in-dustry, which are felt in our everyday life” – added Tadeusz Najdora, Headmaster of the school.

The President of Inter Cars S.A. Robert Kierzek received from the Headmaster and the Students a statue. The offi cial part took part in school hall in the presence of teachers and pupils of automotive profi le classes. The event was made more offi cial by the performance of special orchestra conducted by one of school graduates and a show of ballroom dancing. At the end all guests could try great dishes prepared by the employees of the school’s kitchen.

In February this year Inter Cars S.A. have given another part of diagnostic devices worth 120 thousand PLN to Construction Engineering School in Gorzów Wlkp. It is one of fi ve schools in Poland covered with the programme „Young HR”, and supervising is performed by Inter Cars S.A. Szczecin Group. The basic thing is to build in garage owners’ minds an opinion that the basis of proper pro-sperity of a garage is well educated and specia-lized group of garage employees. In the future, garage owners, thanks to their generosity and openness to new ideas and creating new work-places for graduates of the schools covered with “Young HR” programme, will get measura-ble benefi ts. They will be able to concentrate on core activities and the need of training a mechanic fro the very beginning will not create

additional costs and will also save time. School at Okrzei street forms future constructing and building specialists since 1957, and for automo-tive industry since 1st September 1973. Till to-day over 2,000 mechanics and over 1,500 auto-motive technicians have graduated the school. The number of graduates shows the potential and new workplaces in automotive industry.
