JSW’s history
In 2018, 25 years passed since Jastrzębska Spółka Węglowa had been formed. JSW’s 25-year history is a track record of resolve in caring for the common good that mines are, for retaining jobs for nearly 24 000 people, for organisational improvements contributing to higher efficiency and better work conditions. Respect for labour, solidarity and strength of character is an invaluable contribution that our miners have made over the years to building the Company’s value.
For JSW, the past 25 years meant a profound technical, economic, organisational and technological restructuring as well as creating the basis for raising work productivity and reducing costs. One of the most modern hard coal companies in Europe has been developed during this period. The successes in recent years are undoubtedly the result of many years of work by a great number of employees.
JSW today is one of the most modern and leading mining and coking enterprises in the world and an acclaimed and renowned producer of coking coal. JSW employs best-in-class specialists, whose skills, experience and involvement have been underwriting the Company’s success for years.
