Poles went for Beskid sticks as a gesture of support. Owner: We didn't expect such a reaction

Polacy ruszyli po paluszki Beskidzkie w geście wsparcia. Właściciel: Nie spodziewaliśmy się takiej reakcji

The Aksam company was established in 1993 in Osiek, and is currently located in Malec near Oświęcim.
From the very beginning, it has been a family company with Polish capital.
Recently, there was a fire at the manufacturer's factory, among others. Beskid sticks.
The owner announced then that there would be no job cuts as a result.
Poles went to stores to buy salty snacks from Aksam.
After a few days, the company expressed thanks for the unprecedented support, including on its social media.

The tragedy occurred on the night of July 12-13, 2024, around 2:00. A fire broke out in the production halls. Fortunately, no one was hurt at that time. All employees were evacuated from the plant, but production could not and still cannot operate fully. Despite this, the company's owner, Adam Klęczar, announced that there will be no layoffs, and the employees, even though they will work on a two-week basis, will receive full remuneration.

We would like to thank all individuals and companies who expressed their willingness to support Aksam during this difficult time. We would also like to thank the firefighters and all those involved in the rescue operation. We are currently taking steps to resume production as soon as possible – we read on the website of the stick manufacturer.

The fire in the factory and the announcements of its owner touched the hearts of Poles, who encouraged them en masse on social media to buy Beskid sticks and thus support the injured company.

Politicians, including: Mateusz Morawiecki.

The nationwide campaign was successful. Poles bought and supported the local manufacturer. Today, Aksam's owner talks about being moved. In an interview for the "Fakt" daily, he said that they did not expect such a reaction because their plans to retain their positions seemed natural to them.

What we did seems human, normal and obvious. We never thought for a moment to do otherwise. This caused a shock and made us famous, and in fact everyone – in a situation like this – should behave like this – he emphasizes.
