Con­struc­tion and open­ing of a state-of-the-art fish pro­cess­ing and pro­duc­tion facil­i­ty at Kal near Pivka

Dela­maris food prod­ucts are man­u­fac­tured in a high-tech build­ing with a sur­face area of 7,200 square metres – the build­ing pro­vides new oppor­tu­ni­ties for fur­ther devel­op­ment and the con­tin­ued pro­duc­tion of Dela­maris fish cans. 

Hav­ing acquired a 100% share­hold­ing of Dela­maris, Piv­ka perut­ni­narst­vo, d. d. became the own­er of Dela­maris in Decem­ber 2009. In that time, Dela­maris’ pro­duc­tion process took place on a leased land and the premis­es were in need of thor­ough ren­o­va­tion. The com­pa­ny, there­fore, imme­di­ate­ly start­ed look­ing for solu­tions to build new facil­i­ties. The foun­da­tion stone of the new, mod­ern build­ing for fish pro­cess­ing and fish prod­uct man­u­fac­ture was laid in 2013. The con­struc­tion work was com­plet­ed with­in just one year, in the autumn of 2014. The facil­i­ty boasts pro­duc­tion capac­i­ties of 100,000 cans a day, at the same time enabling fur­ther devel­op­ment, capac­i­ty increase, and addi­tion of new prod­ucts to the cur­rent range. The mod­ern premis­es also pro­vide excel­lent work­ing con­di­tions for employ­ees. The total invest­ment amount­ed to €6.4 mil­lion, of which 60% was account­ed for by Euro­pean grants.

The new facil­i­ty is built under the high­est stan­dards in the fish indus­try and in line with all envi­ron­men­tal and sus­tain­abil­i­ty aspects of con­struc­tion. It has been designed to enable fur­ther growth and capac­i­ty increase in the future, which is an excel­lent start­ing point to boost sales in the cur­rent mar­ket and enter new ones; this is assur­ance for Dela­maris’ con­tin­ued devel­op­ment and progress in the future.

By relo­cat­ing the pro­duc­tion and employ­ees from Izo­la to Kal, Dela­maris is also trans­fer­ring knowl­edge and tra­di­tion, rep­re­sent­ing a good basis to con­tin­ue the activ­i­ty, which has a bright future ahead.

The open­ing cer­e­mo­ny of the state-of-the-art fish can pro­duc­tion plant took place togeth­er with the 135^th anniver­sary of fish pro­cess­ing and production.
