Vendors: Opoczno

The OPOCZNO Ceramic Plant goes back to 1883 when Jan Dziewulski with his brothers Jozef and Weaw Lange established the first factory in Staromiejska Street in Opoczno. Firstly, they manufactured red bricks and other ceramic products and later they started producing stoneware floor tiles. The tiles from Opoczno were widely appreciated, which was reflected by several awards won by the company in those days including: 1897 – Gold Medal during the exhibition in Kiev, 1900 – Grand Silver Medal in the Worldwide Exhibition in Paris, 1903 – Gold Medal in Brussels, 1909 – Gold Medal during the exhibition in Yekaterinoslav.

The dynamic company’s development was arrested by the outbreak of the First World War. The production was resumed not before 1924. New investments were realised and, thanks to the Opoczno factory’s modernisation and construction of a new plant, the tiles production started growing gradually. This upward trend was disrupted by deteriorating market situation. Until the outbreak of the Second World War the Opoczno plants experienced several ups and downs. However, even during the war, the production was not discontinued. During the German occupation, the factory manufactured mostly refractory products, tiles, acid-resistant clinker and small numbers of stoneware tiles.

At the beginning of 2007, 48.42% of OPOCZNO S.A. shares were purchased by the Cersanit Capital Group, which resulted in merging both companies. On 23 May 2008, the District Court in Kielce entered the Cersanit-OPOCZNO merger into the Register of Entrepreneurs of the National Court Register.
