Hela-Prima Sp. z o. o. specializes in the industrial production of impulse, family and gastronomic ice cream. The origins of the company should be sought in 1960, when Mrs. Helena Makaruk opened an ice cream shop in Józefów near Otwock. It produced ice cream using a craft method, using natural raw materials and based on traditional recipes. Thanks to its taste, the ice cream from Józefów quickly gained a great reputation on the local market. In 1991, brothers Jan and Stefan Makaruk, continuing the family tradition of ice cream production, started their production on an industrial scale. The company founded at that time was named "HELA", derived from the name of the owners' mother. The brothers successfully transferred the quality of the craftsmanship they learned in the family ice cream parlor into the reality of ice cream production on an industrial scale. The devices that were innovative on the Polish market at that time allowed for the production of ice cream in waffle cones and containers. The high quality of the offered products made the Hela ice cream quickly known, and it enjoyed the palates of consumers from Warsaw and the surrounding area. Over the next years, the company developed intensively, expanding the range of products and gaining new markets thanks to cooperation with new distributors in Poland. In 1997, in order to achieve economies of scale and increase the production potential, the production part of PPHU Hela was combined with the ice cream producer from Gdynia, Inter Prima Sp. z o. o., which resulted in the establishment of the company "Hela-Prima" Sp. z o. o. Another important event in the company's history is the launch in 2000 of operations in a newly built factory that meets the requirements of the European Union, located in Karczew 27 km from Warsaw. The year 2008 was a special period for the company's development, when the company obtained the ISO 22000: 2005 certificate, which proves that it meets the highest standards of food safety management. In the same period, thanks to co-financing from EU aid programs, the company's machine park was enriched with two modern, fully automated production lines. The company also implemented an integrated ERP-class IT system supporting company management and a research and development laboratory was established. On the other hand, in 2009, thanks to cooperation with Chłodnia Łódź, the assortment offer was enriched with a new category of frozen products, i.e. culinary products. Currently, Hela-Prima Sp. z o. o. is a modern, dynamically developing company, as evidenced by the fact that it was awarded in 2011. prestigious title of Business Gazelle. Many years of experience combined with the use of proven recipes and production technology guarantee the high quality of our products, which are successfully sold in the country and abroad. home about company ice cream contact private label © 2012 HELA-PRIMA Sp. z o. o design by dzubinski.pl
