Although the equipment purchased from the closed Hamé Bzenec operation is at an interesting price, some of them (specifically the B4 KZK closers) need repairs and adjustments before being put into operation in our operation. We have started these refurbishments and by combining them with the purchase from Hamé, we are achieving up to 50%…

In order to check our actual production capacity and compare it with the numerical capacity (i.e. 40,000 pcs per day), we started a full shift, which allowed us to pre-produce items for our Israeli partner for which we are waiting for the delivery of labels.

Israel has included our company on the list of manufacturing plants that are allowed to import dog and cat food…

As a large part of our demand for the production of so-called. The Private Label of the products includes a brief to essentially copy a competitor’s product from Germany, we searched the market for a component that would help homogenise the blend before filling and during sterilisation to be more similar to the benchmark that…

After the first successful purchase of machines from Hamé’s Bzenec plant, we have also purchased more machines, namely inkjet labelling machines!

Our domain is mainly dogs and it has always been so. Anyone who has ever had a cat knows that cats are “problematic” in that they sometimes want one food exclusively for a while and after a certain period of time they won’t touch it for no apparent reason. In order to be able to…

Although according to the legal regulations it is not necessary to keep the temperature in the primary part of the production below 5 degrees Celsius.

One of our most interesting projects, the patented production of coffee oil from the sedge, has seen a further move towards the realisation of larger-scale production. We have just ordered the industrial evaporator necessary to start production on an industrial scale.

Today we had a two-hour meeting with a potential supplier of a coffee grounds dryer for the production of our patented coffee grounds oil. The parameters look promising and we look forward to starting production on an industrial scale as soon as possible.

We are starting to capitalise on the increased capacity and for the month of April we have managed to achieve a turnover growth of around 100% compared to April 2023 overall and in our preferred B2C channel (e-shops) even by 1365%, which has a positive effect on the margin!

To further approach the parameters for IFS certification, we completely darkened the primary production and installed certified lighting that meets the parameters of daylight replacement. This will help us reduce the cooling costs of primary production.

While one part of the team was fighting for big contracts at the biggest Interzoo trade fair in Nuremberg, Germany, the other indispensable part of our team was in between introducing the LOUIE brand to end consumers at competitions directly to dog owners! We always prefer to sell LOUIE because of the quality of the…

We came back from the Interzoo fair at the end of the week in a worn out condition, but very satisfied. We have received a significant number of enquiries.

In order to increase the efficiency and speed of pouch production, we are introducing a further level of automation of this production, which will double the current production speed.

In order to help abandoned dogs in the first place, but also to get our Louie brand canned food out to people, we are starting a partnership with shelters. Everyone who takes a dog from the shelter can get a pack of Louie cans with the address to our shop.

Our parent brand ALEMAR will soon see a rejuvenation of our website and the overall design of our presentation. The CI has already been modified and programming work is now underway.

Pouches are becoming increasingly popular as a form of packaging for wet food. Last week we managed to win an order for the first private label pocket bags worth approx. CZK. We hope that the product will sell well for our client and that the frequency of repeat orders will be as high as possible.

We have received additional orders for private labels in Poland and Germany for the production of approximately 20,000 cans. These are the first projects from the 2022 enquiries that we did not have the capacity for and have now been revived following the expansion of our production capacity.

The new pocket baskets have been put into operation. Not only do they increase capacity. They also improve the appearance of the pockets, which are now perfectly straight after sterilisation.

The management of our production plant has developed a unique system of sterilization basket adjustment, which makes filling and unloading of the baskets approximately twice as fast. In doing so, it will also reduce the number of employees by one person.
