Zbigniew Komorowski

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Zbigniew Komorowski (born March 17, 1944 in Szymanów , Poland ) is a Polish businessman and politician . He is a founding partner of the Bakoma dairy company and, according to an annually updated list of riches in the Polish edition of Forbes magazine in 2013, is one of the hundred richest Poles with a fortune of around 180 million euros.

Life

Komorowski graduated from the Faculty of Civil Engineering at the Warsaw University of Technology in 1967 .

Entrepreneur

In 1989, Komorowski founded Bakoma with his wife and Edward Mazur . In the 1990s, a cooperation was started as a licensee of the German company Onken . In 2005 the partners parted in a dispute. In subsequent legal proceedings, Bakoma was able to assert itself against the former licensor.

Komorowski also took over flour mills in Brzeg , Bydgoszcz , Szymanów and Kielce , which he merged into the Polskie Młyny SA group. This group is one of the most important grain processors in the Polish market. In 2002 he was mentioned in the press because the then leader of the Samoobrona party , Andrzej Lepper , had Komorovsky's grain imported from Germany into Poland unloaded from freight wagons and scattered at a Warsaw train station. The action was intended to protest against the agricultural policy of the Polish government. In 2002 Komorowski was also the main shareholder of Warszawska Giełda Towarowa SA (WGT, Warsaw Commodity Exchange), which Waldemar Pawlak was managing director at the time .

Komorowski later invested in the biofuel companies Komagra and Bioagra . According to press reports, he wants to part with some of his holdings in the future. The Komorowski couple run the four-star hotel "Słoneczny Młyn" in Bydgoszcz .

Politician

Komorowski was a member of the Polish Parliament for three consecutive terms . From November 25, 1991 to May 31, 1993 (second cadence) and from October 14, 1993 to October 20, 1997 (third cadence) he was elected a senator as a member of the Senate of the Republic of Poland . From October 19, 2001 to October 18, 2005 (4th cadence) he represented the constituency of Płock in the Polish Sejm as a member of parliament . After that he did not stand for re-election. The political home of the entrepreneur is the Polish Peasant Party .

In March 2002 Komorowski initiated the discussion in the Sejm on a draft to supplement the law on unfair competition in the Sejm. He wanted to limit the proportion of private labels in Polish supermarkets. Unlimited growth in this FMCG segment would, according to his argument, have ousted smaller Polish brand manufacturers from the brand competition because of the purchasing power of supermarket chains and forced them to produce the less profitable private labels. The bill was not adopted.

In 1997 the entrepreneur was awarded the Polonia Mater Nostra Est (Latin, in German roughly: Poland is our mother ) from the Społeczna Fundacja Pamięci Narodu Polskiego Foundation .
