Also known as: Tarczyński S.A., Grupa Tarczyński, Tarczynski (without diacritics)
Tarczyński is a Polish maker of kabanosy and dry smoked sausages; Tarczyński S.A. is seated at Ujeździec Mały in Lower Silesia, and production began there in 1991.
Tarczyński is a Polish maker of kabanosy and other dry, smoked meat snacks. The company, Tarczyński S.A., has its seat at Ujeździec Mały in Lower Silesia and is the parent of Grupa Tarczyński. It was started by Elżbieta and Jacek Tarczyński, and their sons Tomasz and Dawid joined later. Kabanos is its main product.
Production began on 26 February 1991, together with the family's first shop. A plant at Trzebnica worked from 1996 to 2006, and headquarters moved to Ujeździec Mały in 2007: a site of about 60,000 m² making kabanosy, frankfurters and dry-cured sausages. The Bielsko-Biała plant, acquired in 2010, makes hams and block products.
The range that matters here is kabanosy and dry-cured sausages, which belong with long-keeping smoked sausages and Poles' favourite snacks. Frankfurters and ham are made too, but they are a separate category. No source ties the brand to Kabanosy staropolskie, the protected TSG name (Regulation (EU) 2017/2272).
Tarczyński is a specialist in kabanosy and meat snacks rather than a full-range meat company. According to the company, it holds about 70% of the kabanosy market in Poland and leads meat snacks (FY2024 results, release of 2 May 2025).
On the shelf, look for the Tarczyński name on kabanos packs. Outside Poland such products usually sit in Polish delicatessens and in supermarkets with an Eastern European section.

Do Tarczyński kabanosy carry the TSG sign?
