The company was founded in 1941 by Alfred Nowacki, Polish spy, returning from Germany, and member of the Polish resistance movement in World War II.[3]
The factory was a focal point of the Kalisz unit of the Home Army.[3] Nowacki fictitiously employed his Polish underground associates at the factory.[3] In March 1944 he was arrested by the Gestapo, then subjected to brutal investigation in Łódź, and eventually sentenced to death and executed in nearby Skarszew in 1945.[3]
During 2002–2003, Winiary received various awards for its Majonez Dekoracyjny (Decoration Mayonnaise) product.[4]
