Przedsiębiorstwo Wielobranżowe "APIS" Spółka Jawna was established in 1996, initially as a civil partnership. It was founded by two partners: Henryk Andrzej Fijałkowski and Piotr Bloch. At the beginning of its operations, the company purchased a production hall from the bankruptcy trustee of the furniture factory in Chodcz, for the purpose of launching the production of toilet paper. The existing facilities have been thoroughly renovated and adapted to the new business profile, which required significant financial outlays. These investments were carried out with the shareholders' own funds. After the adaptation was completed, the construction of the paper machine began and was completed in February 1997. On February 18, 1997, paper production began with 25 employees. The initial production capacity was approximately 200 tons / month. Both the machine and the technological process were constantly improved. The profits obtained from the sale allowed for the construction of our own post-production water treatment plant, which contributed to the elimination of municipal sewage pollution and partial recovery of the raw material. In 2000, the next stage of modernization of the paper machine and the boiler room began. 2001, the company's activity was expanded by the purchase of a paper factory in Nowa Bystrzyca, which significantly contributed to the increase in sales. In the same year, the legal form of the enterprise changed, the existing civil partnership was transformed into a general partnership under the provisions of the Commercial Law Code. In 2003, the workshop building was modernized to create modern office space. In 2003, the company bought the corrugated board and packaging plant in Chojnów from the liquidated DOLPAKART BOX company. Both the buildings and most of the machines are owned by the company, but for organizational reasons they are leased, bringing a steady monthly income in the form of rental income. In 2007, a line for the production of a ZZ towel was purchased and launched. New investments are still being implemented and planned to be implemented to increase production efficiency and reduce costs, such as: replacement of steam boilers, construction of a flotation unit (devices for purifying industrial water and recycling the raw material contained in it, used in the production of toilet paper - it is a pro-ecological process ), Waste Presser, Cylinder Grinders. Most of the investments are made in-house, with the help of the existing and constantly improved mechanical facilities and own funds.
