History, tradition and present times
The history of our company began when
Heinrich Franck, an Austrian, opened the
”Heinrich Franck & Sons” Coffee Surrogate
Factory in Skawina.
The production of roasted and ground chicory
started in 1911, in the very same place where
the company headquarter is located today. Since
its inception, the company has undergone
numerous transformations, and in 1999 finally
became part of the German Cafea Group.

About our ingredients
In Europe, the practice of roasting and preparing beverages with chicory root
began as early as the 16th century. The brew made from roasted cereals and
chicory was strongly believed to have a positive effect on human health. Today,
the tradition of drinking such beverages is still alive. However, they can now be
consumed in the form of a soluble powder.
• Cereals: form the basis of a healthy diet, as they contain fibre, vegetable
protein, and carbohydrates. The ingredients we use for our beverages are
roasted, which brings out their coffee-like taste and aroma.
• Roots: not only have a characteristic, coffee-like flavour, which is released
when they are roasted, but they are also a rich source of many additional
substances. For example, chicory and dandelion are sources of inulin, a
prebiotic that has been scientifically proven to have positive effects on the
digestive system.
• Dried fruit and plant extracts: We strive to preserve the flavours and
natural qualities of fruits and flowers, while making them easy to prepare in
the form of soluble powder.
• Coffee: We most often combine coffee with chicory or cereal blends to
produce beverages with a softer flavour, aroma, and lower caffeine content.

The production process
Beverages based on cereals and chicory are perceived as an alternative to coffee, since the
roasting and other production processes give them a similar taste and aroma, although the
ingredients do not contain caffeine. Our products are free from colouring agents and
preservatives. Visit our website to see how our beverages are made:

1. Delivery and quality
control
Properly selected raw
materials of the best
quality are the basis of
the taste and aroma of
our products.
2. Roasting
The final taste of our
beverages depends on
the careful roasting of
raw materials.
3. Extraction
A mix of roasted cereals
and chicory is
transferred to
extractors, where it
undergoes the multi-
stage process of hot
water leaching.
4. Drying
The extract, when mixed
with the hot air,
gradually dries. The
water then suddenly
evaporates, and ready
cereal beverage powder
is produced.
Our products are
available in two forms:
powder and granules.

5. Packaging
We use various shipping containers (big bags, cardboard boxes) and unit packaging (bags, cardboard
boxes, jars, cans, doypacks, sachets).
