The Czech Industry Challenge is more than a contest. It's a celebration of industrial creativity, where companies compete to showcase how they excel in branding, communication, and employee engagement. With entries judged by industry professionals and communication experts, the challenge is widely respected for its focus on originality, impact, and authenticity.

In this highly competitive arena, Rompa CZ emerged as a standout, clinching awards in two distinct categories:

1. Industrial Photography

Our entry into this category captured the very heart of our operations — the people behind the machines. With a powerful mix of portraits, action shots, and factory-floor imagery, the judges were impressed by how we translated technical excellence into visual storytelling. The images reflect not only the precision of our manufacturing processes but also the human energy, dedication, and emotion that drive our work every day.

Photography at Rompa is not just documentation; it's a narrative tool. These winning visuals tell the story of our people and our passion, reinforcing our brand identity and celebrating the teams that make Rompa what it is.

2. Gamification – "Work by Play"

In the world of industrial training, Rompa is blazing new trails. The second award recognized our innovative learning initiative, Rompa Academy, a gamified platform designed to make training more engaging, fun, and effective.

Rompa Academy isn't your typical training tool. It transforms onboarding, safety modules, and skills development into interactive missions, quizzes, and challenges. Employees don't just learn,  they earn points, compete, and collaborate in a way that builds both knowledge and team spirit.

The platform has revolutionized the way our workforce develops skills, encouraging continuous learning in an environment that values play as much as performance. The jury praised this bold approach to employee engagement and development, which aligns perfectly with the future of work in manufacturing.

These awards may be a first for Rompa CZ at the Czech Industry Challenge, but they're not an accident. They reflect years of cultivating a company culture that champions innovation, values communication, and puts people first.

At Rompa, we recognize that success is driven by the enthusiasm and expertise of our teams. Our Czech colleagues  have consistently demonstrated excellence, not just in production output but in how they communicate, train, and collaborate. Their creativity is a beacon within the Rompa Group, helping to raise the bar for all our global sites.

Winning these awards is a proud moment, but also a motivator. It challenges us to keep pushing, keep exploring new ways to grow as a brand and as a team.

Of course, none of this would be possible without the people who live and breathe Rompa values every day. Congratulations to the Rompa CZ team for your inspiring work. To our global HR and marketing departments, thank you for supporting initiatives that dare to think differently.

A special shout-out to the photographers, platform developers, team leads, and operators who contributed to these winning entries, you've not only impressed a panel of judges but reminded us all why Rompa is a great place to work.

While we celebrate this double win, we also see it as a springboard. We're currently scaling Rompa Academy to other facilities, enhancing our brand photography strategy, and sharing best practices across departments. This is just the beginning of an even bolder journey.
