History of Lynka

LYNKA was founded in Cracow in 1992 by John Lynch and Anne Kalin (LYN   KA). From humble beginnings the company has grown from a small 6 person family business to one of the leading promotional merchandise companies in Central and Eastern Europe, employing over 100. That growth came in large part thanks to the support of Lynka s financial investors. In 1994, Robert Kalin became the first outside investor, who helped finance the company s years of dynamic growth. Later on, in 1999, Central Poland Fund, managed by the Lodz Management Group (today Copernicus Capital) made a significant investment that made it possible for the company to build its modern production and warehousing facility, and to continue growing into the 21st Century.
