Paclan and CeDo from the inside

The plant in Kąty Wrocławskie

The Polish arm of the CeDo concern, previously known as Paclan Poland, has been a feature of the market since 1993. In 1994 the company began production in a modern factory in Kąty Wrocławskie. Today, the plant, with an area of 10,000 square metres, supplies products to a majority of trading networks in Poland. By the end of 2008, CeDo had invested over 100,000,000 PLN in Kąty Wrocławskie and employed nearly 500 people.

In the plant, a so-called 'pure production' section was demarcated, designed to manufacture products which are to come into contact with food. In addition, a special hall was built in which machines were installed for processing production waste into recyclable materials. Annually in Kąty Wrocławskie, we can manufacture 50,000 tons of finished products, which are exported mainly to Western European countries. Due to this fact, CeDo finds itself among the five largest exporters of Lower Silesia. (Polityka, no.18, 2004) and has firm place on Top 500 list of the biggest polish businesses
