[2] The first production catalogue comprised insulating tapes, rubber and asbestos-rubber boards, coated fabrics, ebonite, molded articles, inner tubes and bicycle tires.
[4] In 1937, the plant was leased and renamed Spółka Dzierżawna Fabryka Wyrobów Gumowych "Kauczuk", with three main shareholders, Zofia and Bernard Cisewscy and Maria Maciaszek.
An additional line was established for war support, producing Wehrmacht field kitchens, cannon parts, chassis and gun carriages and eventually, at the end of the conflict, outboard engines for submarines.
The Soviet military forces had included the plant on the list of 30 economic facilities in Bydgoszcz which equipment was to be exported to USSR.
[6] Finally, the deportations were avoided thanks to the intervention in May 1945 of the Polish officials towards the representative of the Economic Mission of the USSR in Warsaw: however, two modern lathes and ten engines were lost.
[2] Since 6 October 1971 the company had operated under the label Bydgoskie Zakłady Przemysłu Gumowego "Stomil", with branches in Podgórzyn near Zielona Góra (Podgórzyńskie Zakłady Przemysłu Gumowego "Stomil") and in Łabiszyn (Zakłady Chemiczne Przemysłu Terenowego English: Chemical Plants of the Field Industry).The overall production culminated in the 1970s, in quantity as well as in diversity (e.g. high-pressure hoses, gaskets, jar rings, bottle seals, rubber wheel linings, PVC conveyor belts, rubber linings...); part of it was exported (Canada, West Germany, France, Netherlands, Finland, Greece, Austria, Soviet Union, Cuba).
[2] In 1976, the plant faced an issue related to the poor quality of the products: as a matter of fact, due to pressure from the central administration, Stomil had to use low-quality Polish artificial fibers in place of foreign and more expensive equivalents.
[10] In the second half of the 1970s, the company also lacked brass-plated wire needed for the production of high-pressure hoses: as a result, the manufacture line was suspended until receiving the much expected material.
[8] In the 1990s, after the collapse of the domestic mining and coal industry, Stomil Bydgoszcz refocused its production towards hydraulic hoses, while the plants in Łabiszyn and in Podgórzyn manufactured specialized items.
At that time, Stomil started patronising the Medical School Complex in Bydgoszcz (Polish: Zespół Szkół Medycznych w Bydgoszczy), offering the opportunity to the students to spend holidays in the firm vacation centers in Dźwirzyno, Karpacz or Tuszyny.
