Information about the company

The Amica Group is a leading European manufacturer of household appliances with over 70 years of experience. Our product portfolio includes a comprehensive range of smart large and small appliances, distinguished by practical solutions, cutting-edge technology, and modern design. The group's brand portfolio features: Amica (Central and Western Europe), Hansa (Eastern Europe and Central Asia), Gram (Scandinavia), CDA (United Kingdom), and Fagor (Spain and France). Globally, we employ nearly 2.500 people, enabling us to deliver approximately 5 million appliances annually to customers across nearly 70 markets worldwide.

The history of the company dates back to 1945, when a Metal Products Factory was established in the small town of Wronki near Poznań. Initially, the factory produced Galla chains, license plates, and typesetting shelves. However, over the years and with the reconstruction of the economy post-war, the plant expanded its production range. By the second half of the 1950s, a decision was made to manufacture coal-gas ranges in Wronki. The first freestanding stove rolled off the production line in 1957, marking the beginning of a long-standing history. The political transformation in Poland opened up new opportunities for the development of the Wronki plant. In 1993, the facilities, which at the time operated under the Wromet brand, were restructured into a single-shareholder state-owned company named Amica Holding SA. The name was developed by the company's engineers, combining two key terms in the heating appliance industry: "ampere" (a unit of electric current) and "calorie" (a unit of heat). The following year, the company was privatized, providing a new impetus for the growth of its operations. In 1997, Amica made its debut on the Warsaw Stock Exchange, thereby enhancing its investment capabilities.

International expansion

International experience was initially developed by the Amica Group back in the 1980s, under the name Wromet. It was at that time that we began exporting cookers to the German market, which represented our first expansion direction in the West. Prior to this, we had been exporting equipment to the Soviet Union. Success in one of the most demanding markets in Europe influenced subsequent decisions to enter additional markets.

  • In 1997, the Amica Group, already recognized through its flagship brand in Poland and Germany, introduced a new brand, Hansa, to Eastern markets. Currently, it operates in markets such as Russia, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, Romania, Bulgaria, and Greece.
  • In 2000, the company acquired the prestigious Danish brand Gram, which has over a century of experience. This marked its entry into the Scandinavian markets.
  • In 2004, Amica International was established in Germany with the aim of enhancing the competitiveness of the Amica brand in that market.
  • In 2015, the British brand CDA joined the portfolio. This acquisition enabled the Amica Group to expand its operations into the United Kingdom and Ireland.
  • In 2017, Amica Group became the sole 100% shareholder of Sideme, a French distributor of household appliances. Previously, it held nearly a 40% stake in the company for two years.
  • In 2019, a significant transaction occurred in the Spanish market. The Amica Group entered into a licensing agreement with Fagor Electrodoméstico for the sale of large household appliances under the Fagor brand, which the company hopes will facilitate its further expansion into international markets.
  • In 2021, the Group established Hansa Central Asia in Kazakhstan, which serves as the operations center for the Central Asian region.

Amica Group ENG (+ European focus)2025

Today, as it was many years ago, the heart of the company beats in Wronki, where over 2,000 employees work at the Kitchen Factory. In 2017, a fully automated High Storage Warehouse was established on the factory premises, the highest facility of its kind in Europe, reaching a height of 46 meters. With the increase in production, the company is intensifying its efforts towards environmental neutrality. To this end, it utilizes energy sourced from low-emission natural gas in its production processes. Additionally, through a cogeneration project supported by grants from the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management, the factory will be capable of recovering approximately 30% of the energy consumed from 2022 onwards. The factory also boasts a high recycling rate, with nearly 100% of generated waste being processed in this manner.
