History of BUKPOL

Pharmacy and pharmacy warehouse – Feliks Łagodziński – Radom

In July 1895, Feliks Jan Łagodziński senior, a graduate of the Faculty of Pharmacy at Dorpat University, bought the Hoppen Pharmacy, located in the Karsch House in what was then Soborny Square.

Soon after, he started the first production of herbal medicines in the Kingdom of Poland.

In 1927, the company was taken over by his son, Feliks Tadeusz Łagodziński, who had graduated from the Faculty of Pharmacology at Warsaw University two years earlier. He also took over the factory of pharmaceutical and galenic preparations with steam equipment located next to the pharmacy – one of the first in Poland. The factory was famous, not only in Radom, for the fact that its owner introduced social privileges for his employees, which were unusual for that time. Feliks Tadeusz was also the first pharmacist in the city who decided to employ women in the pharmacy.

After the Second World War, Feliks returned to Radom in October 1946 and once again ran the pharmacy at the current location at 3 Maja Street, until 1950, when his business was nationalised. The pharmacy is still in operation.

Sparkling water factory – Łagodziński Feliks – Radom

Łagodziński opened a factory of mineral waters, lemonade and fruit drinks at Piaski Street.

Hotel Europejski – Łagodziński – Radom

The hotel was founded by the owner of a pharmacy, Feliks Łagodziński.  The hotel was opened in 1898, next to the Karsch and Wickenhagen Palace at 5 Konstytucji Sq. The name Hotel Europejski alluded to Warsaw’s Europejski, which had no equal in the entire Kingdom of Poland and was an unrivalled model for others. It suggested elegance.

Although the hotel was far from the standard of the Warsaw’s Europejski, it was considered the best in Radom for decades to come.

Prize at the Industrial Fair – Feliks Łagodziński – Paris

At the International Industrial Exhibition in Paris in 1906, the Pharmacy and Steam Pharmaceutical Laboratory of Feliks Łagodziński in Radom was awarded a gold medal for its galenic preparations.

Breeding of mushrooms – Łagodziński Marek – Bukowiec

In Bukowiec near Łódź, Marek Łagodziński built and launched a mushroom farm in 1983.

Formal establishment of the company Bukpol Technika Zamocowań – Łagodziński Marek and Bogusława – Bukowiec

Also due to the economic transformation and the great changes that took place in Poland in 1989, Marek and Bogusława Łagodziński turned to manufacturing.

Change of the legal form of the Bukpol company to a general partnership and change of the name to Zakład Mechaniki Maszyn BUKPOL Łagodziński Sp. j.
