The historical path

In January of 1922, the Gotthard (Orzegów) coke plant became a part of the Godulla S.A. Joint Stock Company in Chebzie. The company run its business activity both on the territory of Poland and Germany and its economic results strongly depended on the political situation between those countries.

Until 1934, Eng. Schwartz, who in 1920s prepared the coke plant modernisation project, acted as the coke plant director. In the end, the execution of these plans was cancelled, which had a great impact on the further fate of the plant.

In 1934 were fired 80 workers and the low incomes led to an occupational strike. At this time, the new director became Eng. Szymon Bojanowski, who started the industry sanation process.
