What Stokson does

Stokson is a Polish family-owned industrial bakery founded in 1990 and currently operated in its third generation by the Stokłosa family. The company manufactures traditional Berliners (filled Polish fried dough pastries), American-style donuts, muffins, cookies, mini-pastries, and yeast buns, operating from two production sites: the original facility in Chorzów (modernized in 2004) and a larger plant in Piekary Śląskie (opened 2013, materially expanded in 2017 with three additional production lines, warehouses, and office space). The technical base combines traditional recipes with automated production lines dedicated to muffins, cookies, yeast pastries, puff pastries, and fried products, plus integrated robotics, device control systems, and on-site quality-control laboratories. Stokson holds IFS, BRC, and HACCP certifications, which are baseline requirements for supplying Western European hypermarkets and private-label buyers.

The company's commercial model is predominantly B2B. Since 2008 it has supplied major Polish retail chains and, since 2015, has exported branded products to distributors and retailers across all continents through a dedicated export sales office in Warsaw. It also offers contract manufacturing under a "Your Brand / Private Label" program, supported by an in-house R&D team that develops custom formulations. The branded portfolio includes the core Stokson line, DOOTI DONUTS (positioned as the No. 1 donut brand in Poland), and Funbake, supplemented by licensed co-branded products with E. Wedel chocolate. Stokson is registered in Poland as a general partnership (Spółka Jawna) and employs 51-100 staff, with no public revenue, funding, or ownership disclosures beyond the founding family.
