AVES

What AVES does

AVES Sp. z o.o. is a privately held Polish family company, founded in 1995 and headquartered in Gajewniki-Kolonia near Zduńska Wola in central Poland's Łódź Voivodeship. The company manufactures processed poultry products — including cold cuts, sausages, pâtés, rolled products, and a deep-frozen ready meals range — for the HoReCa sector (restaurants, hotels, catering firms) and food wholesale distributors for gastronomy. Production takes place in what AVES describes as one of Poland's most modern and environmentally friendly facilities, with output characterized by repeatable flavor profiles, timely delivery, and phosphate- and MSG-free formulations in selected lines. Beyond conventional poultry, AVES operates two specialty ranges: a HALAL-certified line covering chicken and turkey products (cordon bleu, nuggets, kebabs, wings), and a soy-free VEGE plant-based line developed with French distributor Teamex Europe using spelt and millet rather than soy.

The business model is sales-led B2B with a parallel consumer e-commerce storefront. AVES generates revenue through unit/volume pricing on its manufactured food products, with regional sales representatives managing direct relationships with HoReCa accounts and food wholesalers, complemented by three physical pickup/distribution points (HQ Gajewniki, Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski, Sosnowiec) and an online shop at www.aves.pl offering free delivery above 250 PLN. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; orders are placed via the e-commerce platform or direct sales contact on a pay-as-you-go basis. AVES also exports products internationally under formal export services, having obtained the certifications required for foreign markets, with participation in 2024 trade fairs (SIAL Paris, Ptak Warsaw Expo) signaling active export development. Registered share capital is 11,050,000 PLN; revenue, headcount, and ownership structure beyond the founding family are not publicly disclosed.
