OJC Ltd. was established in 1882.
Experience of four generations had led to the changes
regarding our activity. After the II WW due to the
economic reasons the first nurseries of fruit trees were
created. They gave rise to the apple orchards. Since
1977 they have been developing dynamically. During that
time we started to organize apprenticeship for the
students from the schools of gardening and for the
Polish and foreign students from the higher agricultural
universities. In 1992 the association called The Centre
of Integrated Fruit Production was established which is
now a part of our company. During the 90.,
simultaneously with the socio-political changes in our
country the small companies of the food industry started
to develop. New relations with the foundations like:
Caresbac Polska S.A., FDPA, BCD, EEAF, TISE S.A. and GNP
made it possible to create a partnership. As a result of
these actions, in 1994, with the help of initial capital
from the USA the fruit processing company – OJC Ltd. in
Wisowa was established. The decision concerning the
start of food processing activity was closely connected
with the tradition of the constant searching of new
production profiles.
At the very beginning the company was equipped with the
American apple presses (approx. 100t of apples per day).
In 1997 the more effective German press (200t of apples
per day) was bought. During that time the production
halls were widened what was the first step of further
extension. What is more, the capacity of the warehouses
for concentrates was expanded from 1000 to 3000 tones.
Since 2002 the new, effective ultrafiltration and
filtration (of apple concentrate) machines have been
installed what resulted in the elimination of harmful
ACB germs (alicyclobacillus). In 2005 two new apple
presses were installed (each of them has the capacity of
5t per hour) and the modern equipment was introduced in
a newly-build production hall. After the activation of
this machinery the company will be able to process
approximately 500t of apples per day.
Due to the introduction of new technologies our
concentrates are ecological what has been confirmed by
the appropriate organization. The ecological
concentrates have already gained the popularity and they
are successfully sold on the world markets. |
