Recently, the company’s “Śnieżka,” “Magnat” and “Vidaron” brands were recognized by the international organization Superbrands and the company regularly participates in competitions outside of Poland.

Śnieżka has valued community involvement for decades and the company created the foundation “Your Opportunity” to aid hundreds of people and fund cultural activities, as well as the competition “Colourful Fields” to build sports facilities.
