What Gobarto SA does

Gobarto S.A. is a publicly listed Polish pork producer and supplier (WSE: GOB, headquartered ul. Wspólna 70, Warsaw) operating a vertically integrated agribusiness group under the GOBARTO brand. The core business covers pig breeding via the wholly-owned Gobarto Hodowca unit, fattening under the Gobarto 500 and Tucz Gobarto partnership programmes (which contract hundreds of Polish farmers), pork processing at the BRC Grade A / IFS Higher Level-certified Grąbkowo facility, and downstream wholesale distribution through Gobarto Dystrybucja. Adjacent businesses include Gobarto Dziczyzna (premium game meat — venison and roe deer), refrigerated transport and cold storage services, NETBROKERS insurance brokerage, and biogas plants that convert agricultural waste into renewable energy with a target of over 6.6 MW installed capacity.

The company monetizes across multiple streams: bulk pork sales (sides, primal cuts, offal) to domestic wholesale and HoReCa customers under B2B direct sales, international exports to more than 40 countries across the EU, Africa, Asia and the Caribbean, and ancillary revenue from cold storage, refrigerated transport, biogas waste-purchase, and insurance brokerage. Go-to-market is sales-led, combining a direct sales force with field representatives, multi-branch distribution centres (Suwałki, Białystok, Łomża, and others), and farmer partnership events including the Gobarto Charcuterie Fair, Gobarto Distribution Fair, and Farmers' Gala. The revenue model is essentially transactional one-time-product sales supplemented by service fees for transport, cold storage, and biogas intake.

Across the GOBARTO Group the company employs approximately 2,064 people, ranked 11th in Wprost's 'Economic Champions of the Food Industry' and 60th among '200 Largest Polish Companies' (2026). The group is controlled by Cedrob SA — whose co-founders occupy Gobarto's Supervisory Board — and is led since January 2026 by President of the Management Board Karol Ludwiński, with Rafał Oleszak as Vice President and Financial Director. ESG positioning is anchored on biogas renewable energy, no-till farming (over 20 years), a 13% scope 1+2 emission intensity reduction target by 2030, IFS/BRC food-safety certifications, and a Cooperative Compliance Programme partnership with Poland's National Revenue Administration joined in September 2025.
