The story

On July 12, 1990, the State Coal Agency Joint Stock Company was established from the dissolved Coal Community (WWK). It was renamed the State Agency for Hard Coal Mining Restructuring on July 12, 1996, and became Kompania Węglowa on December 30, 2002. The company’s branding was created by Rafał Bogusławski with A.R. Promix. Since April 29, 2016, Polska Grupa Górnicza has managed coal extraction based on Kompania Węglowa’s assets.
