About us
More than 20 years of experience! Ready to grow!
"Kurzemes Gaļsaimnieks" Ltd. was established in 1997, and it is located in Paplaka, approximately 35 km from Liepaja.
During all these years we have underwent major changes: in January 2012 along with putting a new plant into operation we have created a meat processing complex that includes a slaughterhouse, a meat cutting unit and a meat processing unit, thus providing a full production cycle and ensuring high and stable quality of meat products and manufactured meat.
In spring 2021, the new extension to the production facility of Kurzemes Gaļsaimnieks Ltd was opened, bringing the total production area to 9000 m2.
The new premises will allow the company to significantly increase its production capacity and volume thanks to the introduction of automated lines and innovative technologies that will facilitate and improve daily operations.
The modernised factory extension was realised with the support of the European Agricultural Fund.
