Opavia Polomáčené are iconic semi-coated biscuits with a deep heritage in Central Europe. The brand traces its roots back to 1840 in the town of Opava, located in what is now the Czech Republic. Originally founded by Kaspar Melhior Baltasar Fiedor and his wife Amálie, the bakery grew into a regional powerhouse known for its high-quality wafers and biscuits.

Over the decades, the business underwent nationalization during the communist era before being privatized and eventually becoming part of a larger international portfolio. Today, while the Opavia brand remains a beloved local staple in the Czech and Slovak markets, it is owned and managed by the global snacking giant Mondelez International.

Manufacturing continues primarily within the Czech Republic, specifically at modern facilities like the one in Opava, ensuring the brand retains its local identity while benefiting from global distribution and sustainability initiatives like 'Harmony', which focuses on sustainable wheat sourcing.
