- Idea
Breaking the Guinness World Record is not the most important element in celebrating the company's 20th anniversary. It is more about a form of integration, and above all, the involvement of everyone around a common idea.

Organizing the official Guinness World Record breaking is associated with certain formal requirements. You should report to the Records Office.

A positive atmosphere, developed during the time spent together "outside the desk", pays off in more effective implementation of goals and greater loyalty and responsibility towards colleagues.
