Traditionally this Upper Silesian town was a centre for leather, paper and cement manufacturing. Today only the paper and leather industries remain. For example, in Krapkowice the toilet paper brand Mola is produced by a major job provider, Metsä.
Historically, it was known in Polish as Krapkowice, Chrapkowice and Krapowice.[3]
