Eskimos S.A. assets being sold following bankruptcy

The assets of the Polish food giant Eskimos S.A. are being sold in parts following the company's bankruptcy. After failed restructuring attempts and an inability to find an investor to acquire the entire business, the trustee has begun liquidating individual holdings.

A processing and cooling plant located in Motoga, Lubelskie Voivodeship, is in the final stages of a sale. The facility was listed for 10,046,000 PLN, though the final purchase price and the identity of the buyer—whether domestic or foreign—have not been disclosed.

The trustee is also seeking a buyer for an industrial complex in Sokółka, Podlaskie Voivodeship. This site includes processing and cooling facilities covering approximately 8 hectares, featuring production lines and freezing chambers with a capacity exceeding 10,200 tons. The starting price for the Sokółka complex has been lowered to 15 million PLN.

Eskimos S.A. was once a major Polish exporter of frozen fruits and vegetables to over 20 countries. The company's downfall is linked to the ‘apple scandal’ originating in 2018, involving irregularities in an interventionist apple procurement program supported by government guarantees.
