The company produces sauces, mayonnaises, ketchups, and mustards across a portfolio exceeding 200 SKUs, organized into four core product categories: mayonnaise-based and tomato-based sauces, mayonnaises, ketchups, and mustards. Products span retail packaging (250g-1000g) and food service packaging (1kg-30kg), with international flavors including Tikka Masala, Piri Piri, Red Thai, Louisiana BBQ, Teriyaki, and Andalusian-style sauces added alongside traditional Polish condiments such as horseradish (chrzanowy), dill (koperek), and garlic (czosnkowy) sauces. Manufacturing operates under BRC Global Standard food safety certification (achieved 2014) and proprietary recipe formulations developed over three decades.

Tarsmak serves four primary customer segments: traditional retail via Polish wholesalers, modern retail chains (hypermarkets and supermarket networks), the gastronomic/HoReCa sector (hotels, restaurants, catering, plus fish processing and confectionery/bakery industries), and export markets across Europe supported by multilingual catalogs (PL/EN/DE/RU/CS/IT). The company operates a B2B-focused sales-led go-to-market model with a dedicated sales department, Regional Sales Advisors, and a named HoReCa Commercial Director (Michał Błach). Revenue is generated through product sales across these channels; pricing is quote-based for B2B and not publicly disclosed.

The business has executed warehouse expansion and wastewater treatment modernization (PLN 5.8M net project, PLN 2.5M EU KPO subsidy-funded) and accumulated multiple Polish business awards (Business Gazelle 2011/2013-2015, Business Gepard 2011-2014, Forbes Diamonds 2011, Honor Badge for services to Poland's economic development). The company is privately held with no disclosed external investors, parent company, or subsidiaries, and no disclosed funding rounds. Marketing includes a content-driven 'Kulinarne podróże' recipe platform (70+ recipes) and active social presence on Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest.
