About Spolem Kielce
Spolem Kielce is a historic Polish cooperative with over 100 years of food production heritage, best known for creating Kielecki Mayonnaise—Poland's first industrially produced mayonnaise. Founded on 15 September 1920 as Wytwórcza Spółdzielnia Pracy "Społem" in Kielce (the heart of the Świętokrzyskie region), the cooperative initially produced household soap before transitioning to food manufacturing, which became its specialty. In 1958, Zbigniew Zamojski and Janusz Cichocki developed the original Kielecki Mayonnaise recipe, which launched in 1959 under the name "Stołowy" before adopting its now-famous Kielecki branding. This groundbreaking product introduced Polish consumers to industrial mayonnaise for the first time. The recipe proved so successful that it became the basis for Poland's national mayonnaise standard, establishing the benchmark for quality that other manufacturers follow. Today, WSP "Społem" in Kielce is one of Poland's unquestionable food industry leaders. Kielecki Mayonnaise is currently the second most frequently purchased mayonnaise brand in Poland. Beyond mayonnaise, the cooperative is also one of Poland's largest mustard manufacturers and a significant producer and exporter of pellets. The company name "Społem" was given by Stefan Żeromski, the celebrated Polish author of "Przedwiośnie," who was associated with the Kielce region. Spolem Kielce products are now available internationally, including in the UK, USA, Germany, Australia, and Kazakhstan. UK shoppers can find Kielecki Mayonnaise at supermarkets including Asda.
