Nematekas - 27 years of justified expectations

„Nematekas“ started its activities in 1994 by selling German-produced meat processing lines NEMATEC. In order to test the equipment in practice, a small demonstration meat processing workshop was set up, producing only 900 kg of meat products per day. Gradually, it grew into a competitive meat processing company. Currently, „Nematekas“ prepares more than 80 tons of meat products every day and continues to strive for growth with the highest quality standards. Youthful energy, maximalism and will allowed to become a solid company recognized not only by Lithuania, but also by the foreign market. In October 2019, „Nematekas” welcomed a honorable 25th anniversary. However, according to the company’s managers, it is worth to celebrate for everyone: not only the determination of the team members helped to overcome the challenges, but also the constant encouragement of product users to improve.

“Innovation and development are very important in our company, so we always strive to create something new, better and most importantly – healthier.”

Since the beggining, „Nematekas” has been working purposefully towards the main goal – to ensure the perfect quality of products. Every year, the company invests in new technologies, working methods to provide consumers with reliable products. The company has established a quality monitoring, management and control system that ensures quality in each chain – from the purchase of raw materials to the transportation of finished products.

FRESH, TASTY FOR EVERYONE

In 2013, the company’s brand was updated. The new sign reflects an important change in „Nematekas” activities – a turn towards “consumer-friendly” food. This is also evidenced by our products – sausages with probiotic cultures, sausages without any added E, products without allergens.

In 2021, „Nematekas” put on the market a new product line – Pro Natura, the production which not only does not use preservatives, dyes, allergens and other additives, but also sodium nitrite salt. Every year it is being looked at what new and healthier could be offered to the market. Currently, we offer a very wide range of products from raw meat and poultry to boiled, smoked or cured meat products. Wide variety for everyone!
