SUCCESS MADE IN BRUDZEW.
The economy of Brudzew Commune has for many years been based on the brown coal excavation. Until the present day Adamów S.A. PAK Brown Coal Mine has been the largest employer in the commune. The work in the mine including operation of complicated multi-bucket excavators accustomed the staff to perform responsible tasks.
At the territory of the Commune there are enterprises which have also achieved success in other trades. The most competitive enterprises operate in the sector of microbiology and veterinary medicine. The projects undertaken by them are unique on the regional, national and even European level. These comprise Vet-Lab Brudzew and ProBiotics Polska.
Vet-Lab – an innovative veterinary laboratory
Vet-Lab Brudzew company is one of the leaders of innovativeness in Greater Poland. It conducts advanced research projects in the scope of veterinary medicine. It specialises in diagnostics and monitoring of the health state of breeding animals. Vet-Lab is one of the three companies co-creating the consortium conducting innovative research projects on the creation of urinary bladders based on polymer fibres.
Vet-Lab company was recognised as the most innovative company in Greater Poland in 2008 and awarded with the prize of the Marshal of Greater Poland Province.
The founder of Vet-Lab Brudzew company, dr Piotr Kwieciński, holds a motto of 'animals + people = common health’.
ProBiotics Polska – national leader in the production and sales of probiotics
Probiotics are products containing micro-organisms which have a beneficial influence on human health and environment and substitute chemical substances. Probiotic mother cultures are produced in the modern probiotic plant in Bratuszyn owned by the company. It is the first such activity in Europe and the third one in the world! The plant itself is almost entirely energetically self-efficient. The company products are used, among others, in soaps, cleaning products for households, soil fertilising preparations and those protecting plants and animals against diseases (including chicken farms) as well as products which support human health and enrich human intestinal micro-flora. The Bratuszyn company establishes a nationwide network of regional plants and sales and training centres which popularise and sell probiotics.
REVITALISATION.
The open-pit mine that has been operating for 50 years is just finishing its production. This gives a unique opportunity to introduce to the Commune new functions, including the spectacular development of tourism connecting education, leisure and emotions. The operation of the mine has caused changes to the physical and social landscape of the commune on a massive scale. An open-pit form of excavation has resulted in the creation of incredible enormous basins of the width ranging from several hundred metres to over 2 kilometres and the depth of up to 55 metres.
As a result of the completion of mining activities and flooding of the mine excavation, the Bogdałów and Janiszew water reservoirs has been created. Other much larger waterbodies are to be created in Koźmin, Głowy and Kwiatkowo. These reservoirs will create conditions for recreation, sunbathing and sailing. They will significantly raise the tourist and landscape attractiveness of the Brudzew Commune area.
Sustainable development of Brudzew Commune is our aspiration and plan for the coming decades. The development that involves the local community and is based on local resources. We wish to provide for the global trends and prepare an attractive offer on the national level.

KEY PROJECTS.
The Discovery Park
The Discovery Park is aimed to become a nationwide tourist attraction. It will present globally unique geological and archaeological findings. The first of them is a fossil forest from before 12 000 years; so far we know only several trees in Europe dating back to that period! The second one constitutes an extraordinary settlement from the Roman times located at the Amber Trail. This settlement had functioned for approximately 800 years! In the course of archaeological works it was possible to obtain thousands of invaluable and excellently preserved findings.
Assumptions for the construction of the Discovery Park:
Thematic tourist trails
Thematic tourist trails constitute an idea to combine attractions of the Brudzew Commune with the Discovery Park. They will be implemented around the following attributes:
ArchaeologyThe presentation of locations of the oldest discovered forest in Europe and the settlement from Roman times.

EcologyBecoming acquainted with different forms of landscape from the natural to degraded one. It will lead through the protected areas by the Warta River and post-mine areas.
Objective: familiarisation with the knowledge on probiotics, clean energy, the functioning of ecosystems.
ArtPresentation of works and outdoor installations inspired by folk art and land-art trends.
Objective: presentation of various faces of art, the use of post-industrial materials from the open-pit mine.
