Bunge unifies all of its businesses in Poland under a single company name

Warsaw, December 1st 2021 – Bunge, the world leader in oilseeds processing, announced the consolidation of its businesses in Poland under the Bunge name after completing the acquisition of ZT Kruszwica earlier this year. This decision also includes other operations Bunge has in the country, including a port terminal in Świnoujście, a vegetable fats processing plant in Karczew, and its IT business intelligence center in Warsaw that services Bunge worldwide.

Adopting a single company name in Poland reflects Bunge’s business strategy to operate as one company across its end-to-end value chain operating model. Effective December 1, all Bunge operating entities in Poland will now use one legal entity, Bunge Polska sp. z o.o.

Bunge entered a joint venture with ZT Kruszwica as a majority shareholder in 2002. For the past 20 years, Bunge and ZT Kruszwica have partnered to develop a leading position in the vegetable oils and fats industry in Poland and Central Europe. This business, which operated as ZT Kruszwica, included crushing plants in Kruszwica and Brzeg. At these facilities, the company processes softseeds and transforms them into plant-based oils and fats for use in the food processing industry, bottled oils and margarines for end consumers, and products for the biofuel and feed industries. Additionally, the company manufactures and commercializes some of the best-known product brands in the country, including Kujawski oil and Smakowita margarines. These products will continue to use their widely recognized brand names.

Bunge will continue strengthening its business in the country, streamlining systems and becoming more agile, while maintaining its local legacy of investing in deeply rooted consumer brands that have a long history in Poland.
