About Us

Good traditions

For 95 years preparations produced in Puławy have significantly contributed to controlling and keeping in check such dangerous diseases as rinder pest (viral cattle disease), TB, brucellosis, Newcastle disease, varroosis of honey bees.

The 90s were a turning point for the existence of Biowet. An Act of Law titled “Resolution on privatization of the plant in the form of employee-owned company” has been signed. Following completion of the privatization process, in 1997, all employees became shareholders and at the same time also owners of the plant. From the perspective it is clear that company’s privatization proved highly successful, as one of the few.

Innovating and prospecting

Biowet operations are based on scientific research performed by specialized personnel. We work with the best scientific centres in Poland. The plant uses assistance from specialists in all disciplines of veterinary medicine, in Poland and abroad, from medical schools, institutes, universities and technical universities. Biowet has been working with National Veterinary Institute – National Research Institute in Puławy for many years, in the area of scientific research and national control of immunological products, exercised by NVI under so-called “initial batch control”.
