Gold Medal competition
The GOLD MEDAL of Grupa MTP is not only an award, it is a promotion strategy for awarded companies, which begins at the Poznan International Fair. We are waiting for applications for BUDMA Fair 2026 until January 9, 2026
GOLD MEDAL - EXPERTS' AWARD
Each year, almost 500 products enter the competition for the GOLD MEDAL of Grupa MTP. However, only the ones that meet the statutory criteria and obtain positive recommendations of the professional jury will receive this prestigious award.
The jury, which is a team of experts consisting of eminent specialists representing adequate areas of economic life, looks for modern, innovative products, manufactured basing upon top class technologies. The GOLD MEDAL is thus a confirmation of product excellence and, consequently, an element of its promotion in the market.
GOLD MEDAL - CONSUMERS' CHOICE
The verdict of the Jury and the granting of GOLD MEDALS to the winning products are followed by the next stage of the competition. Since the beginning of 2012, the representatives of the industry and consumers, in a separate competition called "GOLD MEDAL - Consumers' Choice", cast their votes for the best product at the fair.
