TORPOL at the 14th Polish Cheese Congress 2025 – new industry standards

TORPOL at the 14th Polish Cheese Congress 2025 NEW INDUSTRY STANDARDS The Polish dairy industry is entering a phase of accelerated technological transformation. Automation, energy independence, and sustainable packaging now define the direction of the entire sector. The 14th Polish Cheese Congress, held in 2025 in Ruciane-Nida under the patronage of SM Mlekpol, confirmed that the dairy industry is moving into a mature stage of modernization – one built on innovation and responsible resource management. Automation and robotics in production processes are opening new opportunities for processors. They increase efficiency, ensure precision, and help companies meet the growing pressure on both costs and quality. Increasingly, quality control systems operate on predictive models, reducing the risk of errors and minimizing losses. Energy has also become a central issue – no longer seen merely as an operational cost, but as a strategic pillar of development. Dairies are investing in renewable energy and heat recovery systems, treating them as a foundation of stability amid fluctuating prices and environmental regulations. Packaging safety and sustainability have become as important as the production processes themselves. Participants discussed responsible material solutions that protect the product while aligning with European regulations and the expectations of conscious consumers. TORPOL, a manufacturer of paper packaging for the food industry, took an active part in these discussions. The company presented solutions that combine high protective performance with a circular approach, emphasizing that packaging innovation begins with strategic thinking about the entire value chain. The highlight of the event was the gala ceremony featuring the Good Cheese, Eco-Investor, and Kids’ Choice awards – a symbolic conclusion to the congress, showcasing how consistently the Polish dairy industry is advancing toward modernity and responsible market leadership. The 14th Polish Cheese Congress 2025 demonstrated that the dairy sector in Poland is not just a part of the food industry – it is a laboratory of change where a new definition of competitiveness is being shaped: digital, low-emission, and based on collaboration across the entire value chain. TORPOL 🜲 35 years of trust.

35 YEARS OF TORPOL – OUR JOURNEY, OUR VISION

35 YEARS OF TORPOL – OUR JOURNEY, OUR VISION When 35 years ago we took our first steps in the packaging industry, few could have predicted the path we would take. Today, with the perspective of these years, we look at our achievements with pride, but above all with humility towards the challenges that have shaped us. This journey has not been easy, but every experience, every decision, and every collaboration has made TORPOL what it is today – a company that sets the standards in the packaging industry for the dairy sector. From dreams to foundations In 1990, we had a vision – to create packaging that would not only fulfill its function but also be real support for our customers. We started with the production of LDPE film bags, which quickly became an essential element of paper packaging. We knew that if we wanted to grow responsibly, we had to constantly improve quality and adapt to the changing market needs. Decisions that changed our future Every year of our business has brought new challenges but also milestones. The investment in an LDPE extrusion line in 2000 was a crucial moment for us. We gained full control over the production process and could offer our customers quality that was not a matter of chance, but the result of conscious actions. In 2007, after years of experience, we decided to produce multi-layer paper bags with LDPE inserts. This decision opened new opportunities and allowed us to establish partnerships with the biggest players in the dairy industry. However, we did not stop there. In 2018, we introduced our innovative products – HOT LOCK and EASY OPEN paper bags – responding to the needs of our customers who were looking for not only functional but also innovative solutions that make everyday work easier. Modernity in service of values In 2020, we opened our new headquarters in Szczuczyn. This place is the heart of our operations, a symbol of our development, and proof of how technology can support traditional values. Every day, we use modern technologies to deliver products that meet contemporary challenges – from environmental protection to efficiency in production processes. Looking to the future When we think about the future of TORPOL, we see a company that remains true to its values while boldly entering new areas. Ecology, sustainable development, innovation – these are not just words for us but concrete actions that we carry out every day. Looking at our achievements, we are grateful for the trust placed in us by our customers and partners. Thanks to them, we can celebrate 35 years of business and plan the next steps in our history. Our Mission Continues 35 years is just the beginning. We still have much to do, much to discover, and much to offer. Our goal is not only to provide products but also to inspire the industry to strive for even higher standards. TORPOL is not just a company – it is a commitment to quality, innovation, and partnership that never stops driving us forward.
