Browar Głubczyce S.A.

What Browar Głubczyce S.A. does

Browar Głubczyce S.A. is a privately held Polish brewery, established in 1856 (originally Brauerei A. Weberbauer GmbH) and headquartered in Głubczyce, Opole Voivodeship, Poland. The company operates a historic brewery and an on-site historic floor malting facility, combining traditional production methods with modern brewing technology and ISO 22000:18 Food Safety Management System certification. Its portfolio spans more than 20 branded products across alcoholic beers (Grodzkie, Karlik, Special, Hammer, Stary Browar Głubczyce, Głubczyce, Sudeckie, Rycerskie, Chmiel TO!) and a growing 0.0% non-alcoholic line (Chmielada, Birella, BG Cytryna), plus beer merchandise.

The company operates a hybrid go-to-market model: a direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront (sklep.glubczyce.com.pl) shipping via DPD across Poland, running on a Comarch e-Sklep platform with DotPay/Przelewy24 payments and Google Analytics; and dedicated B2B channels for wholesale distributors, HoReCa, and retail chains, each served by a separate email address/contact point. Pricing is unit-based in PLN gross (e.g., Chmielada 0.33L at 3.99 PLN), with heavier orders priced individually. Marketing is conducted through the company's own website, a blog, email newsletter, and organic social (Instagram, Facebook). The company is profitable enough to maintain continuous operations and an active brand presence, but no revenue, headcount, or unit volume figures are disclosed in the available sources.
