New product - Kebab Döner
With the vertically organized enterprise system, which is now carried out in Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and in Serbia, Perutnina Ptuj Group is still among rare poultry companies that control all stages of production, from the farm to the table. In their own complete production chain, which includes day-old chicks production, broiler breeders, preparation of feed mixtures, slaughterhouses and processing of poultry meat and products, as well as their retail and distribution network, they daily produce quality, healthy and delicious products for existing, and those that are yet to become loyal customers, in more than 20 countries worldwide. The particularity of Perutnina Ptuj - Pipo Company from Čakovec in the region results from the production of chicken kebab with HALAL certificate, as we are told by MSc. Econ, D.V.M., Predrag Šegović:
- Kebab is one of the fastest growing products which is marketed through the facilities of fast food. We began the production in order to meet the growing needs of the market throughout the region - in Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Greece, Kosovo, Romania, Bulgaria. We realised that the poultry industry in Croatia has developed to the extent that it can compete with any poultry industry in the European Union. Since all the necessary certificates have been implemented in production processes in Perutnina Ptuj - Pipo Čakovec we started the production. I invite all interested parties from the area in which the HALAL certificate is requested, to contact us regarding the distribution. High quality of Döner Kebab by Perutnina Ptuj - Pipo Čakovec was confirmed earlier this year at the largest international fair for food and agriculture in Europe, "Gruene Woche" in Berlin. For six days we tested consumer satisfaction with the taste, smell and appearance of our products. The reactions were very positive. It is interesting that even our competition praised the quality of our kebab.
The most famous Perutnina Ptuj Group's brand is Poli. Poli was the first chicken special sausage on the market and the true vanguard. It was and still remains the best, claims Šegović: " It has been popular and revered for over 36 years. Poli has long since outgrown its homeland. People are crazy about Poli from Scandinavia to the Mediterranean. There are more and more fans in Croatia, and it is popular among youth in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia".
- Regardless of the fact that the packaging had been modernized in recent years, the identity and the brand basis have not changed since it came to the market, said Director of Perutnina Ptuj - Pipo Čakovec Predrag Šegović. Poli is produced in many variations. Thus, apart from the classical Poli, Poli with Vegetables, Poli with Cheese, Poli Light, Poli Sliced, Poli Snack and the newest Poli Paté are also on the market.
