History

It was founded in 1946 in the city of Gdańsk as Spójnia Gdańsk. In 1992 the club moved from Gdańsk to Gdynia and changed the name to Bałtyk Gdynia. Then it changed its name several times. From 2001 till 2010 the name of the club was Lotos Gdynia after its titular sponsor Grupa Lotos S.A.. Other sponsor names followed before the team was called Basket 90 Gdynia from 2014 to 2018, and Arka Gdynia from 2018 to 2020. Since then, its name is VBW Gdynia after their sponsor VBW Engineering sp. z o.o.
