Investment co-financed with KPO funds

Food Park Kowal is implementing a project co-financed under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan in the area of Investment:

A1.4.1. Investments for the diversification and shortening of the supply chain for agricultural and food products and building the resilience of entities participating in the chain.

Actions:

Support for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises engaged in the processing or marketing of agricultural products, fisheries, or aquaculture.

Purchase of necessary technical infrastructure to increase revenue through: introducing new products to the offer, increasing efficiency, utilizing new technologies, reactivating inactive plants, and improving competitiveness.

Investments in the technological and energy development of the company

As part of the ongoing investment, the company has undertaken a series of actions aimed at increasing operational efficiency, modernizing production processes, and improving energy self-sufficiency.

Modern technological lines – increasing efficiency and competitiveness

A key element of the investment is the purchase and implementation of advanced technological lines, including a cutting line and freezing and packaging installations. These new technological solutions will enable the shortening of the supply chain, increase control over quality, and allow for more efficient use of raw materials in subsequent stages of production. Additionally, the implementation of IQF technology and various packaging systems will expand the product range and increase production flexibility.

Energy Efficiency and Sustainable Development

The company is also consistently investing in solutions related to renewable energy sources and energy-efficient technologies. The expansion of photovoltaic installations will significantly increase the level of energy self-sufficiency, resulting in real cost savings. At the same time, the modernization of the logistics fleet through the replacement of forklifts with new, energy-efficient devices will further reduce energy consumption and lower operating costs.

Additionally, innovative solutions are being implemented to recover heat from refrigeration processes, which will allow it to be reused for heating and sanitary purposes. This approach not only contributes to increased energy efficiency but also reduces the carbon footprint of the operations.

Support

The total gross value of the project is PLN 14,766,042.03 (in words: fourteen million seven hundred sixty-six thousand forty-two zlotys and 03/100).

The total net value of the project is PLN 12,004,912.22 (in words: twelve million four thousand nine hundred twelve zlotys and 22/100).

The support granted amounts to PLN 6,002,456.11 (in words: six million two thousand four hundred fifty-six zlotys and 11/100).
