Colian

Colian is a Polish confectionery group with its headquarters in Opatówek near Kalisz in Greater Poland. The group grew out of Jutrzenka and was formed as Colian Holding, which also brought in the Goplana brand and the spice maker Ziołopex. Its shares were delisted from the Warsaw stock exchange after the main shareholders bought out the remaining holders.

Brands and products

• Goplana, Jutrzenka and Solidarność as established Polish chocolate and sweets names
• Jeżyki, Grześki, Alibi, Family's and Akuku! for biscuits, wafers and sweets
• Elizabeth Shaw and Lily O'Brien's, two confectionery brands from the UK and Ireland in the group's portfolio
• Hellena sparkling drinks

Colian lists certificates, awards and its history on its own website.

The group sells its brands mainly in Poland and states on its website that it also exports and produces private labels. Its main offices and plants are spread over several Polish locations, among them Opatówek, Kalisz, Bydgoszcz and Lublin, according to its employer profile. Because the shares are no longer traded on the stock exchange, ownership sits with the main shareholders named in the buyout announcements.
