Printwear & Promotion The Total Promotional Package
The Advertising Specialty Institute has named John Lynch, CEO of European decorator Lynka, as International Person of the Year.
In 2021, Mr Lynch merged his Polish-based company with Vantage Apparel, launched a new print on-demand business, and published a novel that topped the Polish best-seller list. The humanitarian also launched Corporate Aid for Ukraine (CAU), a rapid response, front-line charitable organisation created to raise funds from U.S. businesses, while transporting Ukrainian refugees to shelters and the homes of Polish citizens. In addition to providing housing and financial support, Lynka has hired more than 75 Ukrainian refugees since the start of the war on February 24, 2022.
And this year, Lynka celebrates its 30th anniversary.
Speaking at the awards ceremony held on July 19 in Chicago, Timothy M. Andrews, ASI president and CEO, said: “Two years of COVID taught us many lessons – foremost among them is the certainty that we can triumph over anything.”
