ABOUT COMPANY HISTORY
Brotherhood in business
In 1985, brothers Henryk and Bogusław Popiela began the production of kayaks in the backyard garage. The idea to start a business was born out of love for sport, because both of them were competitors and members of the Polish National Team in mountain kayaking. During training camps in Sweden they got acquainted with the coach of the local team who showed them his factory producing floating equipment. That’s where they got to know with plastic processing techniques and they decided to start their own business in Poland.
The origins of the company
On August 19, 1985 the brothers registered their business activity as a civil company called Craft Plant. Along with the ongoing development of the company, it was given the name PPHU CENTRUM s.c. Then it was transformed from a civil partnership into a public one.
At the same time, when launching commercial activities in the industry the limited liability company was established. In 2002, both companies were merged and called PPHU CENTRUM sp. z o.o. which remains in force to this day.
