The best things are created in balance. Of nature and man. Of earth and water. Of community and individual. Of tradition and new knowledge. Of skills passed down from generation to generation and novel technologies showing the way forward.

The best things stem from dedicated work.

Our values


Maturity & Knowledge

With over 65 years of experience in poultry production and 145 years in fish product manufacturing, we constantly improve our knowledge and skills. Our products are based on tried and tested methods, ensuring top quality and reliability.

Innovation

We are always developing new products and programs, finding better ways to improve our offerings. We were the first in Slovenia to offer breaded products, chicken with omega-3 fatty acids and selenium, as well as antibiotic-free meat and fish salads with grains.

Care

We are committed to ensuring the highest standards of safety and quality at every step of production. We place special emphasis on sustainable practices that protect the environment and support our communities. Our commitment includes responsible farming and accountability to our employees, partners, customers, and other stakeholders.

Connection

Our cooperation with employees, suppliers, and customers is built on trust and respect. We are deeply connected to our local community, creating new jobs and supporting regional development.

Courage

After a major fire in 1996, we rebuilt and strengthened the company, showing our courage in overcoming challenges. By integrating Delamaris and reviving the degraded MIP area, we ensured sustainable development. We boldly adopt new technologies and market approaches, even when tough decisions are needed.

Persistence

Despite historical challenges from wars, fires, and market closures, we have always stayed committed to quality and growth. We steadily build a stable future through sustainable investments and innovative approaches in all areas of our business.

Growth strategy

“We want to be specialists. A decade ago we had only one food factory, now we have three. Each specialises in its own programme: there is a strong fresh meat plant in Kal near Pivka, a meat product centre is being developed in Kromberk near Nova Gorica, and there is a canning factory with a bright future.”

Timeline

2009

Pivka perutninarstvo d.d., founded in 1959, is joined in 2009 by Delamaris d.o.o. – a globally renowned company with a tradition dating back to 1879. This is the beginning of the joint story of the Pivka – Delamaris Group.

By combining our expertise in meat and fish products, we have created a robust system that successfully positions, represents and enhances brands and products in a variety of culturally and culinary diverse markets.

2014

The production of canned fish is relocated to a newly built, modern fish processing plant at Kal near Pivka, offering better working conditions and production development. The Pivka – Delamaris Group thus operates on the same site, creating synergies, preserving traditional products and developing new ones, and making investments to maintain excellent brands.

2018

The Group acquires and renovates a degraded meat processing plant of the former Mesna industrija Primorske (MIP) near Nova Gorica. The premises also host the sister company Kras d.o.o., owned by the joint owner Jata Emona. The specialised meat processing plant allows for the expansion, growth, development and collaboration of two successful food companies.

2023

The Group receives a special Best Food Company award, presented by the Slovenian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Finance newspaper. The Group was awarded for its forward-thinking in several areas: its commitment to 100% antibiotic-free mindful farming, the creation of novel fish salads, the installation of solar power plants in several locations and its successful penetration of new markets.
