Perutnina Ptuj Food
Perutnina Ptuj is the leading poultry processing company in Southeastern Europe, headquartered in Ptuj, Slovenia's oldest city. The company's history traces back to 1905, when organized poultry farming was first established in the Drava Valley. Today, it has evolved into an international corporation with production facilities across several countries in the Balkan region. Its extensive product range spans from fresh poultry meat to high-quality processed goods, with the 'Poli' brand being the region's most famous poultry sausage. Perutnina Ptuj is renowned for its vertical integration, controlling every step of the process from feed production to the final packaged goods. The company serves as a vital economic catalyst for regional agriculture, maintaining partnerships with hundreds of local farmers. Since 2019, the majority stake in the company has been held by the Ukrainian MHP Group, further boosting its international market reach. Employing over 3,700 people across the group, it remains a cornerstone of the Slovenian food industry.
