History

1983

Establishment of the Iglotex company by Mr Tadeusz and Mrs Małgorzata Włodarczyk. The company was based in Skórcz in the Pomorskie Voivodship. Initially the company dealt only with confectionery production, later the business was expanded to include the production and sale of ice cream.

1991

The plant was re-profiled to produce frozen culinary products (such as pizza and dumplings) and trade in ice cream and frozen foods. The company steadily conquered the market, built up distribution channels and its own products, became increasingly popular in the region.

Lata 1995-2000

From the beginning, the company developed its own production due to the observed increase in demand for frozen products in Poland. In 1995, the company's headquarters were relocated to Leśna Street in Skórcz and the construction of a new production facility commenced, which was completed in 1998. Due to the dynamic growth of the market and the company, another production hall with welfare facilities was put into service as early as in 2000.

The aim was to build the first nationwide distributor. As a result of implementing this strategy, in 2009 Iglotex became the largest regional distributor of frozen food in the country. Iglotex also started selling its own products to foreign markets - the European Union and Central and Eastern Europe.

The year 2011 was a breakthrough for Iglotex. As a result of the consolidation of three leading players in the frozen food distribution and production market in Poland - Iglotex, Iglokrak and Łukasz - a strong Iglotex Capital Group was established, with a turnover of approximately PLN 1 billion, a nationwide distribution network of frozen food to retail and a wide assortment to HoReCa, as well as the broadest assortment of frozen proprietary products manufactured in its own production facilities in Poland. This year, the Group also attracted a financial investor to its shareholding, the private equity fund Penta.
