Delamaris

What Delamaris does

Delamaris d.o.o. is a Slovenian canned seafood manufacturer founded in 1879, operating as a subsidiary of the Jata Emona Group. The company produces ready-to-eat fish products across more than 50 SKUs, including fish salads, mackerel preparations, tuna, sardines, pâtés, mussels, and anchovies, with 23.1 million cans produced annually. Production is anchored in Pivka, Slovenia, using fish processing and sterilization technology combined with recyclable aluminum packaging; the company holds IFS, HACCP, and MSC certifications and markets products as natural-ingredient (no additives, preservatives, or colorings) and gluten-free.

The company serves two primary customer segments: retail consumers (via e-commerce at trgovina.delamaris.si and company-owned Diskonti Pivka stores across Slovenia and Croatia, plus a Delamaris store in Izola), and B2B retailers and distributors across 30+ international markets including Europe, North America, Australia, and the Middle East. It operates through wholly-owned sales subsidiaries in Germany (Delamaris Deutschland GmbH) and Croatia (Delamaris Zagreb d.o.o.), alongside a network of regional distributors — some with relationships exceeding 30 years. Go-to-market is heavily export-oriented, with brand recognition strongest on traditional markets where 40% of consumers use Delamaris products and 10% are regular users. The business model is transactional B2B wholesale plus direct retail, with no public pricing disclosure.
