ABOUT US
Celiko was established in 1982 as a company with Polish capital. Since the beginning the company has specialized in and perfected the production process of food products, in particular dried concentrates. We started our activities from a difficult and pioneer production that required strict production regime, i.e. the full assortment of dietetic foods for elimination diets, including those applied in coeliac disease.
The founder of the company was Zenon Kosicki, PhD. As the first one in Poland, he developed recipes and manufactured gluten-free desserts and cakes for people suffering from the Celiac disease and low-protein products for those suffering from phenylketonuria. He created innovative technological lines for freeze-drying and the production of multi-flavored soluble teas and the instantizing of cocoa.

DEVELOPMENT
The development of Celiko has consistently led towards the production of functional, so-called “healthy” foods - based on natural additives, which resulted in the establishment of a new department within the company in 1998, dedicated to the production of natural food additives.
The basis for the production of natural food additives are three process lines, based on freeze-drying (liofilization), spray-drying and pressure granulation processes.

In order to provide for his family, he began working very early at the Szczecin Shipyards as a welder studying at a complementary high school at the same time.In 1957 he began his studies at the Faculty of Chemistry of the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań.
After completing his studies, he worked on numerous positions over the following 20 years. First, he worked at the Potato Processing Plant in Wronki and after that at the Central Laboratory of Potato Industry in Poznań. During that time he submitted and implemented 15 patents and authored over 60 scientific publications whose principal concern was the modification of starch.
In 1982 he opened his own production plant called “Celiko” where, as the first one in Poland, he developed recipes and manufactured gluten-free desserts and cakes for people suffering from the Celiac disease and low-protein products for those suffering from phenylketonuria.
He created innovative technological lines for freeze-drying and the production of multi-flavored soluble teas and the instantizing of cocoa. In 1972 he obtained the degree of Doctor of Technical Sciences from the Faculty of Food Chemistry of Lodz University of Technology. He died in 2006.
Dr. Kosicki was not only a magnificent researcher, innovator, and entrepreneur but also a person with extraordinary sensitivity to the needs of youth. He organized sports tournaments, founded scholarships and awards. Next to prestigious titles of the Master of Technology and various state and sector recognitions, he was also awarded with the Jordan Medal.
In order to commemorate Dr. Zenon Krasicki and express gratitude for the longstanding support for the Olympics of Knowledge of Food and Nutrition, since 2007, every year the best contestant of the Olympics from the Wielkopolskie voivodship is given the prize bearing his name.
