What Młyny Szczepanki does

Młyny Szczepanki sp. z o.o. is a family-owned Polish flour milling company founded in 1992 in Szczepanki, Kujawsko-Pomorskie, operating two modern mills with a combined production capacity of 800 tonnes per day, which places it among the largest flour producers in Poland. The company sells a broad portfolio of wheat and rye flours through three channels: 1 kg packaged retail flour under the Mąka Polka consumer brand (four variants launched in April 2025 with celebrity chef Karol Okrasa as ambassador), 20-25 kg wholesale bags to bakeries and confectioners (including custom-milled flour for customers' own brands), and bulk flour (types 450-1500 wheat, type 720 rye) to food industry accounts. Secondary revenue streams include fodder byproducts (wheat bran, rye bran, fodder flours) distributed to agricultural operations and a year-round grain procurement service paying farmers within 14 days.

The business is built on a vertically integrated asset base: an in-house quality control laboratory with amylograph, alveograph, and farinograph testing, a raw materials department for grain buying, dedicated sales/customer service/logistics/quality/maintenance functions, and a renewable energy infrastructure that includes the first wind-powered mill in Poland (commissioned March 2019) and a 1.25 MW photovoltaic installation being expanded to over 3 MW. The company holds BRC FOOD, GMP+, REDcert-EU, ISO 9001, HACCP, Jakość i Tradycja, and own the Regenerative Wheat Standard certification framework. Commercial operations are domestic-only (Poland), with marketing distributed across e-commerce, social media (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube), a recipe portal, and agricultural events, and the firm won the AGROLIGA 2026 Master title in Kujawsko-Pomorskie Voivodeship. Ownership is concentrated with the founding family; no external institutional investors, funding rounds, or acquisitions are disclosed.
