What MASO UZENINY POLIČKA, a.s. does

MASO UZENINY POLIČKA, a.s. is a privately held Czech meat processing company headquartered in Kamenec u Poličky (Pardubice region), operating as a fully vertically integrated beef and pork processor. The company's operations span the entire value chain — animal sourcing, slaughtering, cutting, dry and wet aging (minimum 21 days), production of heat-processed and fermented meat products, and vacuum/modified-atmosphere packaging. Its core output is fresh Czech beef and pork cuts, premium aged steaks (marketed under the sub-brand Český steak at ceskysteak.cz), fermented meats (Pršut, Alpská klobása, EXTRA sausages with 92% meat content), grilling products (Špekáčky, burgers), and traditional Czech specialties (Tatarák, Carpaccio, Játrová cihla). Production relies on proprietary packaging technology, notably the CRYOVAC Darfresh system co-developed with ULMA Packaging (monomaterial PET film with up to 92% recycled rPET content) and a unique ground meat packaging line that delivers 50% plastic savings and 34% lower carbon footprint versus standard modified-atmosphere trays.

The company describes itself as the largest beef producer in the Czech Republic and the only purely Czech-owned beef processor and manufacturer, with butcher-trade heritage traced to 1265. It serves retail chains (LIDL, ALBERT, MAKRO, COOP, AHOLD, PENNY, KAUFLAND, METRO), QSR (McDonald's Czech Republic, where it is an SGS-certified supplier), and direct consumers through its on-site company outlet. Distribution combines a B2B partner extranet for ordering, retail channel partnerships, and a single physical outlet. The company rebranded in September 2017 from Masokombinát Polička a.s. and has accumulated a dense portfolio of certifications (KLASA, Česká chuťovka, ISO 14001, SGS McDonald's) and innovation awards (OBAL ROKU 2019 and 2021, WorldStar Global Packaging Award 2022, multiple Potravinářská komora ČR innovation prizes). It is structured as a Czech akciová společnost (joint-stock company), privately held, with no disclosed external funding or institutional ownership.
