Our story begins with a dream …

The beginnings …

The 1980s, a couple of young artists come to Tarnobrzeg, in love with each other and in art that they want to share with people. Teresa and Stanisław Pękała have just graduated from school and won the title of glass decorator-technologist, they both dream of acting and developing. New projects and inspirations go through their heads, they look for their own place where they could polish their newly acquired skills. First, they go to a small factory run by one of the inhabitants of Tarnobrzeg, a few months later they buy the workshop and set up their own workshop called “Grinding and glass production”.

Since Teresa and Stanisław paid attention to details and the best possible execution of the crystals from the very beginning, they start by building a solid machine base. They bring the necessary tools from the then collapsing Lublin Glassworks. Thanks to this, they will soon be able to significantly expand the plant’s assortment, allowing their creativity to create a brand that has been operating continuously since 1984.

First touches….

Teresa and Stanisław’s plant was becoming more and more popular, so in 1985 the young creators decided to hire their first employee. In this way, the plant began to grow and the owners could afford to produce more and more new products. The first cuts were decorated with crystal vases, sugar bowls, fruit bowls as well as wine glasses, vodka and glasses.

The high quality of the brand has its origins in these first products, designed and made by Teresa and Stanisław. They have taught us to pay attention to detail, patience and respect for the material we work with. The most important was and is the technique that allows the hand-made, processing and grinding of crystals in such a way that they would be in line with the traditions on which the greatest grinders grew up. The material is also valuable – the founders wanted to cooperate with Polish companies from the very beginning, which is why semi-finished products, i.e. clean glass, were ordered from Polish glassworks.

Adversity may bring us new benefits …

Another important moment in the history of the brand was 1987 and the change of the name. The plant “Grinding and glass production” was from then on to be named after the owners’ daughter – “Anita”. For over 30. years, the brand has been recognized under this name. In this way, Teresa and Stanisław made sure that the brand became an important element of family life, passing on the passion for crystals to the next generations. History also teaches us that adversity can bring us new benefits. Until 2000, we relied mainly on the Polish market – we created crystals that were to hit the tables in our homes, illuminating holidays, special occasions and celebrations.

However, at the time of the economic crisis, we were forced to open up to new cooperation and sales markets. In this way, we established cooperation with foreign companies in France, Italy and even in the United States, where we exported our crystal products. Thanks to this, we were able to pass on Polish traditions by sharing classic cuts and favorite motifs.

Taking up new challenges has also allowed us to open ourselves to inspirations coming to us from all over the world. Thanks to this, in our studio we started to make stylish platters, decorative vases and even cups. Our record is a cup designed and decorated for one of our regular customers, measuring … 190 cm.

Time of changes…

The next changes came to us in 2010, when two women, Anita and Ewa, headed the company, making the story come full circle in some way. Making bold and conscious decisions, they began to introduce innovations to the brand, expanding the range, employing new but experienced craftsmen and establishing global cooperation. The openness of the daughter and daughter-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. Pękała allowed, among other things, for the crystals to reach the Middle East.

In 2016, we decided to take one more step towards our clients and created the possibility of retail sales.

A breakthrough year 2021 …

Ewa Pękała decides to make further changes and decides to rebrand the brand. By observing the market and changing trends, she meets them. The effect of many months of work is a new name and concept of running a business. PEKALLA was created on the basis of the very name of the grinders’ creators, it is a tribute to tradition and experience. This name emphasizes the importance of relationships, closeness and family. It reminds us of the role of the generation in the context of developing and building a strong brand, resistant to market turbulence.

A dream that never ends …

This dream has brought us to where we are now, proud of what we have already achieved, full of anticipation of what is still ahead of us. Because dreams are still next to us, like the vase in which flowers bloom every year for over 50 years …

Our story begins with a dream … Dreams about creating something special, awakening the love of beauty in people, showing that every everyday life can be filled with the glow of a crystal …

We have solid foundations rooted in the knowledge and love for the crystals given to us by Teresa and Stanisław, the first dreamers of our brand.

This solidity allows us to rise higher and higher and bolder. It allows you to experiment, change, create, process and inspire.

Our foundations are not only traditional cuts and precise execution, but also proven materials and suppliers. It is also caring for each other, experiencing everyday life with tenderness, sensitivity, openness and passion. Although we create delicate crystals, we, the people behind the PEKALLA brand, are solid and durable. This is where we take a deep breath and let the rest continue …

Let the story go on…
