PZZ Rzeszow – a manufacturer of pasta – was established in early 90s of XX Century.
In 1991-1992 two modern production lines were installed at the plant. The equipment was bought from “Pavan” – an Italian leading pasta production line manufacturer. In 1992-1993 a modern pasta factory was founded. In the middle of 90s, PZZ Rzeszow was privatized and first became an Ltd. Company, then a participant of the NFI programme (National Investment Funds).
The XI NFI S.A. became a majority shareholder. In 1998 “Agro-Technika S.A.” acquired the major shareholding. As a result of the transformation, pasta manufacturing plant was separated from “PZZ Rzeszow” and became a part of “Agro-Technika S.A.” as a Małopolska Branch.
“Makarony Polskie Sp. z o.o.” was founded by Agro-Technika S.A. (having its corporate seat in Ząbki) in order to takeover “Małopolska Branch”.
On 16 April 2002 Rzeszow Regional Court (Sąd Rejonowy w Rzeszowie, XII Wydział Gospodarczy) registered „Makarony Polskie Sp. z o.o.” in its Registry (Rejestr Przedsiębiorców) under: KRS 0000107212
Since 8 October 2002 all „Małopolska Branch’s” activity has been performed by “Makarony Polskie Sp. z o.o.”.
On 10 May 2004 an extraordinary general meeting introduced a resolution on a transformation of “Makarony Polskie Sp. z o.o.” into a joint stock company.
On 5 July 2004 Rzeszow Regional Court registered „Makarony Polskie S.A.” in its Registry under: KRS 0000212001
At the end of July 2004 “Makarony Polskie S.A.” acquired another pasta manufacturer – “Elplast Spółka Cywilna” (private partnership) located in Płock. This fusion enabled further firmness of the company among pasta manufacturers.
The year 2007 watched the stock debut of Makarony Polskie SA – starting from April 2007 the shares of the Company have been listed on the main market of the Warsaw Stock Exchange.
Since June 2007 a member of the Makarony Polskie Group has been Stoczek Natura Sp. z o.o. (operating under the name Stoczek Sp. z o.o. until 2012), a manufacturer of meat and vegetable products (ready cooked meals, pâtés, lard), vegetable products (salads, pickles) and fruit products (jams, syrups), which offers its products under the Stoczek, Tenczynek, Męska Rzecz and Famil-Jada brands.
In September 2007 the Makarony Polskie Group was joined by Abak Sp. z o.o. in Częstochowa, a manufacturer of rolled pasta in the form of cut strands which are very popular as an addition to soups. In May 2008 Abak Sp. z o.o. was incorporated in Makarony Polskie SA and currently operates as the Production Plant in Częstochowa.
In September 2015 the Management Board of Makarony Polskie SA established a subsidiary named MP Trade Sp. z o.o. with its registered office in Stoczek Łukowski, in which Makarony Polskie SA holds 100% of shares.
Creation of MP Trade Sp. z o.o. with its registered office in Stoczek Łukowski fits the strategy of Makarony Polskie SA consisting in a strive for continuous improvement of profitability and effectiveness of the Group operations.
MP Trade Sp. z o.o. develops trade on own account with external goods of Polish and foreign producers. The Company’s activity focuses on the sales of products bought from external suppliers under its own Novelle brand and granting the license for Novelle brand to Makarony Polskie SA within the scope of production of vegetable pasta and other goods produced within the Makarony Polskie Group. The business model adopted by the Company creates its value by the increase in the value of the brand and the production is contracted outside.
Since January 2022, PPH SAS Andrzej Świderski Sp. z o.o., a producer of a wide range of rolled pasta (including “nest”) and pressed pasta, has been included in the Makarony Polskie Group. The acquisition will strengthen the position of Makarony Polskie SA as one of the leading pasta producers on the Polish and European market.
The merger of Makarony Polskie S.A. and SAS Sp. z o.o. became effective on the date on 26 June 2023.
Makarony Polskie SA pursues the strategy of organic growth, however it does not exclude taking advantage of acquisition opportunities if they appear on the market. The acquisitions are an additional growth stimulus for the Group.
