Skarbimierz is a small village located in the Opolskie Voivodeship, about 40 km from Wrocław. Do you associate its name with treasures? It is a good association, although the story is sometimes perverse and the treasures of Skarbimierz do not come from the old ages, but from the present! And they were not made of gold, silver, or precious stones, although their value can be estimated at millions of dollars!

Skarbimierz's treasures are made ... of milk, chocolate and sugar, and the world giant Mondelez is responsible for their creation!

Opole chocolate factory

Hardly anyone realizes that it is in Skarbimierz, Opole, that the "sweetest" plant of Mondelez International in Poland is located. This chocolate factory was established in 2010. Although 10 years is not a long period of business in terms of business, the plant in Opole managed to develop very quickly. Currently, it consists of two factories, employing a total of over 1,200 people.

And although Mondelez produces in many factories (in Poland alone it has as many as 7!), The plant in Skarbimierz is treated as a priority, so the management board spares no funds for its development and modernization. The proof of this may be the most modern production line, which cost the company 30 million dollars or the implementation of the Integrated Lean Six Sigma program (its aim is to increase safety, reduce costs and losses in the production process).

The chocolate factory in Skarbimierz is also of great importance for the local community. Not only does it offer a huge number of jobs, but it also actively participates in local philanthropic activities: volunteering employees regularly engage in various social actions, support schools and orphanages. For all its activities, the plant has already received the Pillar of the Polish Economy award several times.
