About the mine
The Knurów-Szczygłowice Mine was established on 1 February 2010 as a result of a merger of two mines: Knurów and Szczygłowice.
The Knurów Section is a mine with a long tradition. The first work on the construction of the mine began in 1903. The parceling of levels 250 m and 350 m yielded the first 9,721 tons of coal in 1906.

On 1 August 2014, KWK Knurów-Szczygłowice became part of the organizational structure of Jastrzębska Spółka Węglowa.
