History
editThe history of the company dates back to 1911, when a rayon production facility was established in the Boryszew area (currently a district of Sochaczew). Before World War II, the company was involved in the production of gunpowder, materials, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and dental cements.
Under communism, in the People's Republic of Poland, the company was involved in the production of dental materials and pharmaceuticals, coolants and brake fluids and later also, plastics.
In 1992, the company was fully privatized. Since May 1996, the company has been listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange.
Since 2000, the company has been controlled by Roman Karkosik, a stock trader.[3]
