About us
We carry forward the legacy of over 50 years of poultry expertise, being able to trace our roots back to the esteemed Latvian producer, Ķekava Foods, which was founded in 1967. Today, as an integral part of the Akola Group, which acquired Ķekava Foods back in 2013 and Vilniaus Paukštynas in 2021, we leverage our extensive experience in international trading, agricultural product cultivation, and food production to bring unparalleled quality to your table.
Our mission is to deliver top-quality poultry products globally. With a fully integrated production process, we maintain control over every stage of the cycle, ensuring the highest quality standards. By adhering to best production practices and providing exceptional service, we guarantee excellence in every product we offer.
