Zakłady Przemysłu Cukierniczego SKAWA S.A. (ZPC SKAWA S.A., KRS 0000148701) is a Polish public joint-stock confectionery manufacturer with roots dating to 1909, headquartered at 66 Młyńska St., Wadowice, Poland. The company produces six core product categories: dragees (sugar-coated candies in flavors such as coffee, banana, coconut, chocolate, peanut, and orange), chocolate-covered wafers, wafers with cream fillings, coated wafers (including Arabella and WiKing Size variants), traditional Polish gingerbread with fruit fillings, and biscuits marketed under names such as Skawusie, Tygryski, and B-mol. Manufacturing is based on traditional recipes preserved across generations combined with modern production technology, emphasizing natural, non-genetically modified ingredients and IFS Food certification.

The business operates a B2C/retail model, selling through Polish retail chains, a directly operated partner shop at 12 Polna St., Wadowice, and an export channel ([email protected]) supported by export-specific SKUs and a multilingual website (Polish, English, German). ZPC SKAWA generates revenue through one-time product sales of confectionery items to general consumers across multiple demographics, with the export segment serving international distributors. The company is publicly listed as a Spółka Akcyjna with dematerialized shares, a 35,102,400 PLN share capital (post the November 2024 Series E issuance), and Bank Pekao S.A. — Biuro Maklerskie Pekao maintaining the shareholder register.

Corporate activity in 2020-2024 has focused on public-company housekeeping: share dematerialization (2020), appointment of Bank Pekao as shareholder register keeper (2020), two attempted mergers with related entity Skawa-Bis Sp. z o.o. (2020 and 2022), amendments to articles of association including share-transfer restrictions requiring Supervisory Board approval (2022), and a Series E closed-subscription capital increase completed in November 2024. The company holds GDPR compliance documentation and IFS Food certification, and has no disclosed subsidiaries or parent company.
