What Bakoma does

Bakoma is a Polish dairy manufacturer founded in 1989 and headquartered in Lublin, producing pasteurized, fermented, and blended dairy products for retail distribution and regulatory compliance documentation. The company operates across multiple manufacturing facilities and serves primarily B2B retail customers, with secondary exposure to food safety regulators and auditors that require documented compliance evidence. Its customer base consists of retail chains and stores, and the operating footprint is limited to Poland.

Bakoma runs a B2B dairy-manufacturing revenue model, selling produced dairy goods into retail distribution; pricing details and unit economics are not publicly disclosed. Customer segments are organized horizontally, with retailers as primary buyers and regulatory/audit bodies as secondary stakeholders requiring food safety compliance.

The technical backbone is a centralized digital architecture powered by AVEVA System Platform and AVEVA Historian, deployed with system integrator Explitia. This stack unifies fragmented SCADA data across facilities into a single operational view, enabling real-time process monitoring of pasteurization, fermentation, and blending stages, automated surveillance over Clean-in-Place systems for food safety, and standardized digital documentation for retail and regulatory audits. The architecture is positioned to reduce cognitive load on plant personnel, standardize alarm logic across departments, and accelerate onboarding of new hires — described by the company as its primary operational differentiation.
