Milkpol S.A. (Poland)

Milkpol S.A. is a private, rapidly growing company based entirely on Polish private capital. It was founded in April 1990 by two investors, Jerzy Świerczyński and Wiesław Niedziałek. The company's main activities include milk collection and processing, wholesale and retail sales of dairy products, as well as trading products from other dairy plants since 1994. The production facility is located in Czarnocin, away from urban areas and industrial plants, ensuring that the company's raw materials and products are natural and free from contaminants. The milk used for production meets the highest quality standards and is sourced from over 250 specialized farms located within a 60 km radius of the facility. Currently, the company collects over 1 million liters of milk per month, from which it produces over 600 tons of high-quality products. The production focuses on creating fresh, natural, and healthy dairy products such as curd cheese, curd snacks, pasteurized milk, cream, and milk beverages (yogurt, kefir, buttermilk). The company's products are distributed nationwide. Through its own distribution network, it supplies customers in the Łódź Voivodeship, Silesia, Częstochowa, Warsaw, and the Tri-City area. The products are available in retail stores, wholesalers, as well as small and large-scale retail chains. As part of its diversification strategy, the company opened its first "Dairy Delicatessen" in November 2015. Currently, there are eight such sales formats, four in Łódź and one each in Pabianice, Andrespol, Zgierz, and Starowa Góra. Since 2004, Milkpol has participated in a European Union program promoting milk consumption among children called "Milk in School."
