Skarbimierz [skarˈbimjɛʂ] is a village in Brzeg County, Opole Voivodeship, in southern Poland. It is the seat of the gmina (administrative district) called Gmina Skarbimierz.[1] It lies approximately 6 kilometres (4 mi) south-west of Brzeg and 40 km (25 mi) north-west of the regional capital Opole.

From 2007, as part of the Wałbrzych Special Economic Zone, UK confectioner Cadbury started building a £100m chewing gum plant in the area.[2] The factory was then expanded to include chocolate production, moving the majority of the products made at the Somerdale Factory in Keynsham, Bristol to the site.
