HISTORY KRP "Igloopol" Kombinat "Igloopol" (long before they appeared in the name) began its activity as merely one component in Debica Frigo by the end of the '80s to become the largest agri-industrial sector in this part of Europe. At its peak in "Igloopolu" employed nearly 35,000 people and had to be worked over 80 thousand hectares of land. "Igloopol" had the farms, cold stores, processing plants, fruit and vegetables, meat, etc., metal production facilities and its own general food retail stores. Produced food, drinks, cars, refrigeration, agricultural machinery, construction materials. From beginning to end, "Igloopol" managing director Edward M. Brzozowski - creator igloopolowskiego empire.
Beginnings "Igloopolu" In the early 70's, based on the existing since 1951 in a cold store was set up in Debica Provincial Freezing Industry Company, based in Debica by connecting to the chilling cold Dębica in. [1] In 1975, after the country's administrative reform has been deleted word: provincial (Debica was then in the province. Tarnów). In 1975-1977, he was attached to PPCh another cold: in Tarnow, Cracow and Dwikozy (Tarnobrzeg province) [2] and the first, a small farm in the Wilderness acquired at a bankrupt collective farm. [3] In 1978, the PPCh has been included in Debica busting, about 200 hectares of state farms in Straszęcinie for the purpose of breeding pigs in need of processing already at an industrial scale. [4] 1 July 1978 Cooling Industry Company was transformed into the Industrial and Agricultural Kombinat "Igloopol" in Debica. Basic assumptions of the conglomerate consisted, according to its name, a combination of the processing industry and agriculture together. At the time of "Igloopol" counted five cold, metal factory and plant construction (from cold Dębica) and 233 hectares of land. From that moment began an unprecedented expansion "Igloopolu.

The first big step in the development of agricultural production was taken over by "Igloopol" in south-eastern Poland, a significant part of farms abandoned by the SCC-y in the years 1980-1983 [1]. Initially, the newly created Branch to be caught by the Combine Farm "Igloopolu in Straszęcinie, however, with increasing number of branches and their considerable remoteness were extracted separate farms, which grupowały surrounding units. Total igloopolowskie Holdings, its Subsidiaries and farms built on farms seized from SKR s cover an area of \u200b\u200bover six thousand acres. [2] After investing in the development of these devastated farms, they became profitable. One of the first farm acquired by "Igloopol" were also a team from the area Sieniawa PGR (1981) [3], and PGR Smolnik holdings along with former Council of Ministers Office in Tarnawa Niżna and Wołosate (1982). [4] Moreover, even in 1980, the farm was built in Borzęcin. [5]
In 1982, after four years of existence, the change in the name of the Combine with the Agricultural Industry and Agro-Industrial.
In 1984, part of the 'Igloopolu "membership had grown to 9 large, multi-Farm: Straszęcin, Borzęcin (Tarnow province), Will Batorska (near Krakow), High Głogowska, Dąbrowica, Cherry (Rzeszow province), Siena (province Przemysl), Place Piastowe, Smolnik (near Krosno) with a total area of \u200b\u200bover 20,000 hectares.
- When in the mid 1984 years Brzostowski Director gave a radio interview, it turned out that the "Igloopol" currently has 22 thousand hectares of agricultural land and in 1916 introduced thousands to work on fertilization, sowing and plant protection An-2 aircraft. This was necessary because of the growing area at no wake for this employment. In this way, for "Igloopolu" aviation work, so the SFE in agriculture after the latest technology. [6]
view of the considerable variation limits cultivation in the lowlands and in the Bieszczady metastases was possible to organize combine harvesters and other machinery, the work completed on the sandy lands to month, 100 miles south - to farms in the Bieszczady Smolnik. [7]
The Bieszczady "Igloopol" introduced mechanization of harvesting green which previously had not been seen in this area:
- When Tarnawa Niżna - Smolnik branch - the weather harvested from 100 acres a day, on the other side of the border constant trips to see the mechanization. [8] comprehensive mechanization assured generate such quantities of food, which were necessary for the development of culture, which of course was in the mountains leading the direction of production. In just holding Tarnawa "Igloopol" breed 900 pcs cattle and 1200 sheep. [9] In the Bieszczady Mountains, to work in "Igloopolu" people came up with the other end of the Polish, for example, wages for grazing cattle and sheep were high. Some of them they were lovers of nature and mountains, who, thanks to work in "Igloopolu" could live there.
In 1985-86 during the reorganization renamed the Farm from the Departments of Agricultural and Industrial Establishments of the Departments (a little later the different branches were named according to specialization: agricultural firms, gardening, etc.), and in some places, the creation of agri- current industrial farm was merged into a common unit from the nearby Cold "Igloopolu" (by this time Refrigerators and operated farms in the Combine as a separate unit.)
In subsequent years
Dębica giant express pace absorb another state-owned farms (not just in the Podkarpackie and Małopolska, but even in Pomerania) increasing every year by up to several thousand hectares and create on their base next to its Agricultural and Industrial Establishments. Among others in 1985, when he was attached to the Combine, "PEKTOWIN", "Igloopol" took a number of state-owned farms in the vicinity and land Jaslo Beskid. [10] In the same year bieszczadzki complex "Igloopolu" were increased by PGR in Black. [11] In 1987 "Igloopol" took four big state-owned farms in the vicinity Lubaczów (Oleszyce, Cieszanów [New Hamlet], Horyniec, lecturer). [12] The merging household put on a huge financial outlay for the modernization and expansion, the machinery and land reclamation, including publicity for the remediation of the entire country in Wołosate conducted using explosives.
The reclamation process tells an interesting article Fri "Wandering the cry of the earth" ("Literary Life" 17 / 1986) by Janusz Ratajczak, which describes how "Igloopol" title "crying" the earth, we have been lying fallow or carelessly grown, returns to intensive cultivation.
After taking over the farm also attached great importance to improve the aesthetics. Place cured, repaired fences, built the gate, concierge, and sheds for equipment, thereby holding "Igloopolu" stand out in this respect compared to some state-owned farms, where the appearance of the bypass was not considered to be the most important thing.
In farms "Igloopolu" modern mechanization used in many of them for spraying and fertilizing the fields used An-2 aircraft and helicopters Mi-2. Aircraft were rented for the entire season with ag Mielec Services Department in this period were stationed at airfields in the various field units "Igloopolu" for which they were chartered.
- The fields of work such as the combine More than a thousand. 135 tractors and combine harvesters. [13] "Igloopol" had then already 40 thousand hectares, 18 of thousands of livestock cattle, over 23 thousand. for sheep, kept 75,000 pigs per year. [14]
- In 1984, English Finnig, Chellengera dealer in Europe, organized on the field the Combine Igloopol in Debica show D6D Caterpillar tracked tractor. After the show Igloopol bought this tractor for 100 000 dollars. and during his four-year operating cost of repairs and parts amounted to only $ 60. [15]
autumn 1988 "Igloopol" took a number of state farms in the province. Gdansk [16] , the following year in the province. Zielona Gora. [17] In 1989 "Igloopol" has run the farm for more than 80 thousand hectares of land and the subsequent acquisition of holdings in the nearest future the area have reached an area of \u200b\u200b100 thousand hectares.
Households led
plant and animal production subordinated to the needs of processing plants. In addition to producing its own raw materials, "Igloopol" also collaborated on a large scale with the surrounding farmers through contracts suitable raw materials.

But to truly illustrate this development should go back again to the beginnings of the company, and thus to a cold store in Debica. As the name suggests this type of refrigerators had to deal with storage of raw materials and food, they usually were located near the processing plants. But after a while it became clear that there is no reserve so cold standing empty and had been loss. For this reason, in 1957 in Debica Frigo decided to start production of frozen fruit, and in the 60's frozen ready meals, care was even about his own contracting with farmers
[1]. In 1969, the director of Cold store component in Debica was Edward Brzozowski.
Similar difficulties associated with the undercutting of the surface survived another cold stores. Perhaps seeing the results obtained by the cold Dębicka decided to join it in the 70's, other refrigerators in the region, as I wrote at the beginning.
In the 80's Cold "Igloopolu" in Debica grew by more and more new faculties. In 1983 started the production of carbonated water
[2] (7 types, including "Ptyś" - the picture and "Tonic", "Lemon"). In 1984 the department was put to use ice cream
[3] in November 1986, the department of meat processing and canning.
[4] Acquired a Meat Processing Plant in Pilsen (still in 1983).
[5] In the mid-'80s there was a change in the structure of the Combine. Lead Department was created (which took production units of the Combine in Debica during this period was also the Combine Management Board of the Department of Lead), and after moving the headquarters of the Directorate to the new office building built in Straszęcinie - Industrial Plants. Food Processing
industrial plant in Debica already consisted of the following departments: ice cream, meats, preserves, delicatessen products, baby foods, carbonated water and bottling beer.
[6] - in factories in Debica Igloopol daily produces about 50 tons of ice, 13 tons of meat, 50 tons of canned food and baby foods, culinary products of 23 tons, 25 tons of fruit and vegetables, 150,000 bottles of beer . Every day cars with the sign of snowflakes shuttle Igloopolu products to different parts of the country. [7] In 1985, came to the Combine ZPOW "PEKTOWIN" Jasło, the only domestic producer of pectin.
[8] In 1987, "Igloopol" took such ZPOW in Tymbark and Meat Processing Plant in Krakow.
[9] In 1989 the Brewery in Zielona Gora.
[10] In Krakow-Bieżanów started to build a huge complex of cooling and processing of component surfaces 60 thousand. m3, calculated to produce about 20 thousand. ton freezer year and about a thousand employees. The opening took place around 1990. [11]
Jedlińsk in Radom in the preparations for construction of production facilities of pectin, which would be erected jointly by the "Igloopol" and the Soviet Union. Completion of the investment planned for 1994 years. [12]
In 1989, "Igloopol" joined the Free Zone companies in Szczecin. On the Island Mieleńskiej, who was in that duty-free zone, intended to build in the 90's, including Fat large plants with an annual capacity of 150,000 tons of rape and 100-150 thousand. tons of soybean processing plants and factories making high-protein feed. The whole project was so designed to take advantage of all on-site the resulting waste for further production (waste from fatty fish waste, processed into fishmeal, would be used as an ingredient for animal feed).
[13] Many other planned investments "Igloopolu" also not been realized. These include two unique underground cold stores, cold rock in Zagórze
[14] and refrigerator in an abandoned tunnel from WWII in Strzyżów:
- The project to adapt to the cold strzyżowskiego tunnel underground excavation provides for shared partitions and separation of separate premises for the storage of fruits, vegetables, dairy products, meat and fish, wine and confectionery products and canned food. The proportions of the tunnel are 18 constituent chambers, each measuring 20x6 m. [15]

Metal industry, construction and other
To ensure the proper functioning of the cooling and processing plants, "Igloopol" made in-house production of the necessary equipment for this purpose the metal industry (such as automatic door refrigerator, which previously had to be imported, because No one in their country did not produce).
[1] The Department metal in Debica Kombinat launched the production of bodies, trailers and semi-refrigerated and insulated with a different capacity so that it was possible to transport finished food products to consumers. The beginnings were modest, when the time taken Freezing Industry Enterprises production trailers, refrigerated, then still in cooperation with WSK Mielec.
[2] With time, "Igloopol" became one of the largest producers of this type of body in Poland and some of the production would end up for sale to other plants refrigeration industry in the country and for export. Body were mounted on the chassis of cars Zuk, Star, Jelcz, Liaz and others.
Besides the production of refrigeration vehicles produced another professional body (such as tanks for the transportation of beer). [3] The Department metal production went on Straszęcinie blast freezers for freezing fruit.
[4] "Igloopol" also undertook the production of agricultural machinery for their farms where the surface has been growing at a rapid pace and for sale. Produce such Tractor trailers and tillage equipment: cultivators, harrows, Subsoiler - produced in auxiliary production departments at the farm. In, belonging to the Combine's around: the Przysiekach near Jasło formed modern sprayers "Igloopol" license West's "Rau"
[5] , in the Department of the metal in Adamówce - potato planters.
[6] Finally "Igloopol" trying on even the manufacture of agricultural tractors of medium power under the name "Ferrari - Igloopol" (in 1987, talks were held on the establishment of a Polish-Italian company. Farm in partnership with the Italians were to be produced at the plant "Igloopolu" Skawina
[7] ; probably never been to the final completion of the joint venture.) However, in 1989 trying on to take over part of the Gdansk shipyard where he wanted to include start production of small tractors and agricultural trailers for individual farmers and to open showroom cars imported from the west and machinery. [8] late 80's in the metal department of the Agricultural Department, "Igloopolu in Manasterzu started production of wind energy. [9]
From January 1988 to Combine came Dynowski "Fermstal. [10] In 1989 "Igloopol" managed to absorb the Olkusz Fan Factory. [11]
"Igloopol" also collaborated in the production of metal with a big industry. To generate WSK Mielec An aircraft tail-2 (Pustków) [12] injection pumps and components for engines, "Lejland (Kolbuszowa ) [13].
Company from Debica also invested in production plants for the needs of building materials and other facilities renovation and construction. In this regard, "Igloopol" had such Three cegielniami (Debica, Podborze, Prospect) and the concrete fabrication plant to month. Combine not only to produce building materials but also some of the needed equipment for their production (pustaczarki, mixer). He had a sawmill, including in Smolnik in the. It all contributed to such a quick and cheap construction and modernization of the farms, factories and houses and apartment blocks for the crew of farms and factories.
with other activities "Igloopolu" include for example the production of protective clothing for workers of the Combine conducted in Straszęcinie [14] , charcoal fired in the Bieszczady and Beskid. [15] The auxiliary production "Igloopol" takes a different course if it only brings them profit. Therefore, in 1988, is scheduled to start production of toilet paper:
- is known chronic weakness of our paper industry in the production of toilet paper. But perhaps this problem will be alleviated by a little ... Combine the Agro-industrial Igloopol in Debica. Specialists combine the search for profitable production drew attention to the toilet paper, or rather the lack thereof. (...) So you may soon live to see the rolls of toilet paper from a well-known trademark all Igloopolu. [16] The paper produced was Agricultural Plants "Igloopolu" in Cologne-Łaszczówce (ZRP lecturer) and Manasterzu (ZRP Siena). [17] course, the production of toilet paper would be a slight margin of the entire production of the company but this example just shows the diversity of production in the Combine. ____________________

Trade KRP "Igloopol" Debica brand launched the general stores. In this way, the whole marketing of the products starting from the production of agricultural raw materials on farms, through processing, transport, ending the sale of finished products has been largely shut down as a single company. Individual stores operate within the structures department stores' Igloopol "Plant and Agro-Industry and Commerce, in 1987," Igloopol "has a total of 176 shops and eateries. [1] were both major commercial pavilions in provincial cities as well as shops in villages (mostly they were located at the farm, "Igloopolu", but there were areas for all residents). Stores' Igloopolu "were often better equipped, they could buy some items off meat rationing. In addition to the wide range of products, "Igloopolu 'products are available from other manufacturers. [2]
work even in Debica "Igloopex" - created on the model of "Pewexu" shop owned by a foreign exchange KRP "Igloopol. [3]
Kombinat commercial activities conducted outside the country. In the spring of 1988 "Igloopol 'flagship store opened in Lviv. [4]
Much of the production of all sectors of the Combine redirected to export to the countries I and II, the area of \u200b\u200bpayments through the Office of Foreign Trade Igloopol in Warsaw. [5]
The broader commercial activity "Igloopol" also developed its own database of hotel and tourism. Apart Hotel in Debica, two four-star hotels in Sosnowiec, and Radom, about 420 seats on each , but because of the liquidation of companies were not finished, the one in Radom for many years was undeveloped in the rough. Similar intended to build a hotel in Rzeszow [6] (the area where today stands at the intersection of Street Lidl. Krakowska al. Liberation). Through the "Igloopolu" on the four-star hotel is well adapted Benedictine abbey in Jaroslaw.
Based on the existing buildings after the abortive sheep farm in the Black "Igloopol" planned to build a modern resort. According to the project were to be converted Sheepfolds the hotel, riding horses, while the existing silos for silage had to be rebuilt in the indoor pool. The resort has arisen playgrounds and tennis courts, and on the adjacent hills of the ski lifts. In order "Igloopolu" about the environment Bieszczady included in the project center, all the energy needed for its operation will come from renewable sources (solar panels on buildings and on the slopes, wind and small hydro). [7] opening of the center was planned for 1990 years but only been able to pour concrete under the ski lifts.
Such innovative ideas was the "Igloopolu" more. After moving to Krakow's Meat Processing Plant new plants built in Bieżanów, in the historic factory floor Street. Rzeznicza have created a shopping center, which in the early 90's would be completely new. [8]

Meeting the social, cultural and sporting
in the vicinity of the Department of Lead Debica "Igloopol" built from scratch with a large housing estate consisting of the entire infrastructure including the unique block-tarasowców, Hotel "Igloopol" swap House of Culture, "Walrus", House of Sport and the sports stadium. [1] In addition trolleybus line was established from Straszecin (which was associated with the Combine since its inception) to Debica. [2] trolleybus Line "Igloopolu" was the only such factory line in the country, in addition, the village was connected with the city, operated under the Transport and Works Procurement "Igloopol. The plan was the construction of trolley lines in Krakow:
- in Cracow, manufacturing and refrigeration Igloopolu. In order to improve communication between Bieżanów and Tern and the city center Igloopol NVR CEO Edward Brzozowski city authorities offered 2 billion pounds on the construction of the trolley. (...) So soon Krakow will become environmentally-friendly transport and the second after Debica Igloopol trolleybus line. [3] Also nearby farms "Igloopol" raised new housing estates for the crew (in Debica, and the company's other plants have been established przyzakładowe housing associations).
[4] The Combine acted Popular Sports Club Igloopol "Debica (initially under the name Sports Association" Igloopol "), whose football team was promoted in 1990 to a league season. Players' Igloopolu "during the fight for promotion and play in the league were so well-known later players such as Alexander Kłak, George Podbrożny, Jacek Zielinski, Leszek Write, Slawomir Majak Marek Bajor. Boxers LKS "Igloopol have won medals at world and European championships. Also, in many localities where the Combine had processing plants and farms included patronage folk Athletic Teams (in 1988, "Igloopol" sponsored LZS-om 1947).
[5] Straszęcinie was in the Sports and Recreation Centre, in Iwonicz-Zdrój Sanatorium and Recreation Centre "Igloopolu. At the Combine was founded Ensemble "Igloopol" which operates under the name unchanged to this day. Works newspaper was issued, which appealed to workers' Igloopolu "throughout the country.
"Igloopol" was a major patron of the monument. Ignoring the costs and difficulties encountered rebuilt from the ruins of the palace to month - in the great merit he had long-standing director Sieniawa "Igloopolu Adam Ogorzelski, a mansion in Straszęcinie
[6] , repaired the historic inn in Zawada.
[7] Wellness Program has been covered by many other objects on the acquired farms: eg Narol palace, manor in Cherry, a castle in Zawada. In total, the sites' Igloopolu "there were more than 30 historic buildings, the company employed a full-time historic preservation officer, who was Wojciech Sobocki.

Decommissioning "Igloopolu"
Opponents' Igloopolu "and Edward Brzostowski found in the transformation of the Combine Joint Stock Company to be illegal, the so-called. enfranchisement of nomenclature.
