MOKATE - the story of courage and determination of President Teresa Mokrysz
The history of MOKATE dates back to the early 20th century - when the Mokrysz family ran a general store in Cieszyn Silesia. The real breakthrough came 35 years ago - in 1990.

Teresa Mokrysz, assisted by her husband Kazimierz, took the reins at the company and gave it its current name - MOKATE. It was formed by combining the surname MOkrysz with the names of KAzimierz and TEresa.

Teresa Mokrysz is a woman of extraordinary courage and entrepreneurship. At times when the Polish market was just slowly forming after the fall of Communism, she took a risk and invested in the most modern powdered creamer line in Europe. She also saw the potential in products that Poles had not known yet - like Mokate Cappuccino, which now is an iconic product. It was she who introduced them and revolutionised the market of hot beverages in Poland.

Her vision and determination have turned a local business into an enterprise achieving spectacular success in the international market.
