Lubella – Production plant in Lublin

Date of construction: 1881
Number of employees: approx. 450
Products: pasta, flours, groats, pretzel sticks and cereal flakes

The history of the Lubella production plant dates back almost 140 years. In 1927, as part of the creation of the Central Industrial District, the current seat of the plant in Lublin at ul. Wrotkowska was established. To this day, Lubella, continuing its noble tradition, is constantly developing by implementing modern technologies and expanding its production facilities. In 2003 Lubella became part of the Maspex Group, the largest Polish food company.  As part of its development and investments, in 2018 the company built a modern logistics centre and a production complex. In 2019, the largest and most modern spaghetti pasta production line in Poland was installed. The largest and most modern line for the production of short moulds also operates in the complex. The investment has not only increased production capacity, but above all, thanks to modern technology, it has made it possible to continue producing pasta of the highest quality.  Currently, Lubella is the clear leader on the pasta market in Poland and the leading producer in Romania. It is also a well-known and valued producer of other cereal products, such as breakfast cereals, flour, groats and salty pretzel sticks. Thanks to the passion and commitment of its employees at every stage of product development, Lubella is today synonymous with the quality of cereal products. It is a brand that is constantly gaining more and more loyal customers who trust experience confirmed by many years of tradition.

During the war, this company worked efficiently under Edward Krausse, who secretly handed over flour for baking bread for Majdanek prisoners and for the resistance movement.  As the only Polish company Lubella, produces pasta and grain products milled in its own mill.  The company uses only the highest quality raw materials supplied by the best and verified suppliers. Pasta is made from wheat from trusted farmers with whom Lubella has worked for years. A special milling process makes it possible to obtain flour which makes the pasta sufficiently hard and perfectly resilient. The appropriate drying process ensures that Lubella pasta does not stick together and retains its natural aroma and golden colour.  As part of its charity work, Lubella supports schools, kindergartens, orphanages and nursing homes. It also supports campaigns for science and education. As part of a campaign operating under the slogan Lubella Łączy, the company has donated food products to orphanages all over Poland. By running the educational initiative “Academia Uwielbiam”, it teaches young people the principles of healthy eating, not wasting food and provides culinary inspirations.

Production facility in Olsztynek

Date of construction: 1985
Number of employees: almost 800
Products: juices, nectars, drinks, syrups, fruit mousses

Olsztynek is a town located far away from large industrial agglomerations – in the region of the Green Lungs of Poland, characterized by a clean environment. It is in this area, among others, that the Mazurian Carrot, a specially selected variety from which Kubuś juices are made, is cultivated.  The Tymbark plant in Olsztynek, once called “Jagódka”, was built between 1975 and 1985. In 1993, the idea for “Kubuś” puree juice was born, and a year later its first production took place, which continues to this day.  In 1996, the plant joined the Maspex Group, which initiated the dynamic development of the company. Currently, in Olsztynek, apart from the production of the most popular children’s drink products under the Kubuś brand, products of the well-known and valued brands Tymbark, Caprio, DrWitt, as well as those known abroad are produced, including Relax, Tedi, Kubu, Kubik, and TopJoy.  This is also the site of the purchase of raw materials – around 100,000 tonnes of fresh fruit and vegetables per year.  The Olsztynek plant is also a modern, fully automated logistics centre established in 2018, with 30,000 pallet spaces.

The Olsztynek plant is identified mainly with Kubuś carrot and fruit juices. The brand used to be known mainly for its puree juices, but today it offers the youngest a whole range of drinking products and fruit mousses.  In Olsztynek, NFC (Not From Concentrate) juices are produced – these are juices squeezed out of the fruit immediately after picking and packed in bottles under aseptic conditions. The juices are characterised by a thick texture and exceptional taste – currently available in the market, the flavours Antonówka Apple, Champion Apple and Apple-Peach are made in Olsztynek.  The Kubuś brand is known for its nationwide social projects. It is the organiser of one of the largest national educational programmes for kindergartens and primary schools dedicated to ecology  – “Kubuś and the Friends of Nature.” So far, over 5 million children have already taken part in the campaign, and every second kindergarten in Poland is learning the way to take care of nature together with Kubuś, as well as to appreciate the role of vegetables and fruit in a proper diet and spend time actively.  Kubuś is also changing hospital wards, as part of the artistic project “Kubuś and his Hospitals”, to make little patients forget their sorrows for a while. The group of “Kubuś and his Hospitals” is constantly being joined by other pediatric wards all over Poland – there are already over 50 of them!  The company continues to grow, responding to consumer needs and investing in new lines. Over the last few years the machine park has grown from a few to a dozen production lines. In 2013, the production of fruit and vegetable mousses started here, which quickly gained recognition, especially among the youngest consumers, and are very popular. Kubuś is the leader in this category.
