The Olgacom Scandal

Introduction

Olgacom is a polish company that facilitates airline catering for different airliners, such as LOT, Vietnam Airlines and Air France-KLM. Recently the company has become the topic of a wild conspiracy theory, related to geoengineering and chemtrail conspiracy theories.

History

After the revolution in Poland in 1989, Patryk Tretyakow and his grandson Ulryk Tretyakow – being finally freed from the bonds of Communism - seized the opportunity to start a new business. As a tribute to their mother, who was called Olga, they called their newly found company Olgacom. After a promising start, catering a typically Polish food experience to the personal of the newly established financial district in Warsaw, the two brothers made a radical decision, which would define the future of their enterprises: they started catering for LOT, a Polish Airline company. They were among the first Polish entrepreneurs to understand the opportunities of the new global economy. After LOT, contracts with other airliners followed quickly. In 1999, after having successfully catered for a dozen or so Airliners all around the World, especially in South-East Asia, they attracted the attention the China Investment Corporation (CIC). The two brothers travelled to Taiwan to start negotiations concerning a billion dollar contract, skyrocketing Olgacom to a top ten in the Global Airline Catering top 100. It was also decided to open the first Olgacom food plant in Taiwan, securing their share in the increased wealth and mobility of the people in the region, as well as being able to research and develop the gastronomic specificities of the Asian market. In 2009, Olgacom’s revenue for the first time in its short history topped a 150 million euro. Furthermore, in 2010, Polish chemical company Ciech has shown an interest in Olgacom’s global logistic division.

The Olgacom Scandal

From May 2011 until now, a rumor has been circulating on the Internet from someone who claims to be a former employee from the company, and who accused Olgacom of being involved in the logistics of large scale chemical waste dumping by multinational companies from different countries. The dumping was supposedly taking place through commercial airliners in Poland and Vietnam and over urban areas Among them were big chemical companies such as Ciech (Poland), Sinochem Group (China), Monsanto (USA), as well as Royal DSM (Netherlands). In relation to the latter, the name of Prince Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands is often associated with these activities. The fact that chemical waste dumping would take place during commercial flights seems extremely unlikely - however the rumors have shown to be rather persistent. No documents have been released that give any clarity on the subject, nor validity to the claim made by the supposed whistleblower. Incidentally, a supposed threat email was send from an Olgacom employee to the whistleblower, who published it on her weblog.
