The company's official LinkedIn profile thanked everyone who contributed to this success. "In a very short time, we managed to rebuild the damaged wall and prepare the machinery, which is the result of hard work, determination and support of many people and companies," we read in the announcement.
Aksam's management particularly distinguished its employees, emphasizing their commitment and dedication, which allowed the company to quickly return to partial production. "We are proud to work with such a great team! Today, walking through the hall, we can once again hear the work of machines producing our snacks. This is the best reward and the nicest sound for the entire team of the company," the statement continued.
Business partners and institutions supporting the company during the crisis were not left out either. Thanks to their quick response and assistance, it was possible to minimize the negative effects of the fire and speed up the reconstruction work.
The fire mobilized the local community
The fire that broke out on the night of July 12-13, 2024, destroyed a significant part of the plant in Malec. Fortunately, all employees present in the factory managed to evacuate and no one was injured. However, the material losses were enormous, and production was seriously limited.
Aksam reacted quickly to the tragedy, assuring that it had no plans to lay off workers and that employees would receive full pay, despite limited production capacity. The company’s quick and proactive approach was met with broad support from the public. There were numerous expressions of solidarity with Aksam online, as well as appeals to buy the Polish company’s products to support it during this difficult period.
Despite the dramatic situation in which the company found itself after the fire, Aksam managed to rebuild its most important production hall at record speed and resume production of Beskidzkie Paluszki.
