The beginnings of Hirsch date back to 1892 when a painting company was founded in Linz, Austria that was to become a multigenerational company with a Europe-wide reach. In time the company gained recognition for the quality of its services, developing and extending the scope of the works offered. The firm collapsed during World War II but returned to the market directly afterwards in 1945. This spurred a period of undisturbed expansion. The new headquarters were built in 1971 and further upgraded in subsequent years. In 1994 the first branch of Malerwerkstätte Otto Hirsch abroad was founded in the Czech Republic and two years later another one – in Poland.
The Polish branch with its seat in Jelenia Góra, led by Mr. Jacek Urbańczyk, was officially legally established on 14 December 1996. The painters’ baptism of fire was the first project carried out by the company was the construction of the M-1 in Czeladź, which concluded the first year of activity on a no-fault handover note. The number of finished sites has constantly risen every year, now reaching a few dozen or so annually. This continuous expansion of the company’s Polish branch required the introduction of organizational changes.
