Which advantages over its rivals hold up, and why are they hard to copy?
Wawel sends products from its plants to more than 50 countries at home and abroad, and as one of Poland's oldest confectionery companies it supports its position against Wedel, the most recognisable brand abroad with a presence in almost 50 countries.
Wawel operates two manufacturing sites, with the primary plant in Dobczyce and auxiliary operations in nearby Niezdów close to Kraków. The Dobczyce site produces almost the entire portfolio, including nearly 20 varieties of plain and filled chocolate in standard and large tablets. Wawel combines everyday chocolates, bars and candies with premium offerings, which allows it to remain competitive across price segments.
