History[]

The history of the company dates back to 1911 when a rayon production facility was established in the Boryszew area (currently a district of Sochaczew). Before World War II, the company was involved in the production of gunpowder, materials, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and dental cements.

Under communism, in the People's Republic of Poland, the company was involved in the production of dental materials and pharmaceuticals, coolants and brake fluids, and later also plastics.

In 1992, the company was fully privatized. Since May 1996, the company has been listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange.

Since 2000, the company has been controlled by Roman Karkosik, a stock trader.

In 2010, the company began to expand outside of Poland, acquiring assets of Maflow group (in Italy, Poland, France, Spain, Brazil, China, India and Mexico). In 2011 it took over the German companies Theysohn, AKT and Wedo.

General income of the Boryszew group in 2012 exceeded 4,920 million złoty, and sales revenues amounted to more than 4,870 million.
