About us
About us
Japanese standards, Polish energy
Ajinomoto Jawo is a company established through the collaboration of two enterprises: Ajinomoto Frozen Foods – part of the global Ajinomoto Group corporation, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of food and pharmaceutical products, operating since 1909 and present in 35 countries; and Jawo – a Częstochowa-based company founded in 1992, specializing in the handmade production of frozen goods. The combination of Japanese know-how and Polish artisanal expertise made it possible to create a modern production facility on Bór Street in Częstochowa, which launched in April 2015. The first line was dedicated to gyoza production, serving as the foundation for the further growth of this Polish-Japanese company.
