TAMI

What TAMI does

TAMI (legally Tatranská mliekáreň a.s.) is a Slovak private dairy manufacturer headquartered in Kežmarok, operating a vertically integrated dairy group across three production sites: the main Kežmarok dairy facility, AGRO TAMI, a.s. in Nitra (agricultural and dairy operations), and Syráreň Havran, a.s. in Senica (cheese production). The company produces a broad portfolio of dairy products including fresh and long-life milk, cream, an extensive cheese range (mold-ripened varieties such as Encián, Plesnivec, Tatranská NIVA, Royal Blue, and Rival, plus semi-hard cheeses, Mozzarella, and processed cheeses), yogurts (smotanové, Greek style, live yogurt, acidofilné mlieko), fermented dairy (kefír, zakysanka, cmar), tvaroh/ricotta, butter, dairy desserts (Dráčik, Paťa, Maškrtko, Termix), and spreads. Specialty lines include Bio/organic products from the Sub-Tatra region, the Lactose Minus lactose-free range, a protein-focused line targeting fitness consumers, and a dedicated gastro/horeca foodservice range with bulk packaging.

Underlying processing technology centers on UHT (ultra-high temperature) treatment at minimum 72°C for 15 seconds, thermization, fermentation for yogurt and fermented dairy, and a biogas station enabling full utilization of generated heat and electricity. The company's packaging partnership with Elopak (paper-based beverage cartons) supports a sustainability positioning. The business model is product sales-driven across three channels: own e-commerce (obchodtami.sk), retail distribution across Slovak grocery stores, B2B gastro/horeca with bulk formats, and the subsidized European School Milk Program for educational institutions. Marketing is conducted through a content-led website, Facebook promotions (notably Maškrtko-branded competitions), and a dual-education/early-brand-exposure strategy via schools. Customer segments include general Slovak consumers, educational institutions, foodservice operators, lactose-intolerant consumers, health/protein-seekers, and organic/bio consumers. The company has received the TREND TOP 2022 Investor of the Year award, two Käsiade international cheese medals (2025), and the Značka kvality quality mark for its protein tvaroh product.
