It is a privately owned company, whose main activity is the production of cured meat products and distribution of consumer products.

Cured meat products – a rich source of protein for better health

We live in a world where the choice of food is ever increasing, but the fact is that meat and deli meats are one of the richest natural sources of protein, vitamins and minerals, which are essential for a healthy and active life.

Proteins are essential for muscle growth and maintenance, tissue regeneration, proper immune system function, and the creation of enzymes and hormones.

That's why daily consumption of meat is necessary, regardless of age - precisely because meat products are naturally rich in high-quality proteins that contain all the important amino acids that the body cannot produce on its own.

Meat products combine protein and natural fats – a combination that provides long-term energy and a feeling of satiety.

When you consume meat products, you may notice that you have:

•         better concentration,
•         reduced need for snacking,
•         but also stable energy levels throughout the day.

Therefore, many nutritionists recommend moderate consumption of meat in the first part of the day - to meet the body's energy needs, and Pekabesko AD's deli products are the right choice for you.

Meat is an excellent source of important vitamins and minerals such as:

•         iron – especially heme iron, which is most easily absorbed by the body;
•         zinc – important for immunity and healing;
•         vitamin B12 – essential for the nervous system, and naturally found only in animal products;
•         B vitamins – for energy and metabolism.

Why are Pekabesko AD products the right choice?

Meat products don't have to mean heavy or high-calorie meals.

On the contrary, with the right choice and moderate consumption, they can be part of: a protein breakfast, a quick and nutritious lunch, a healthy dinner, but also practical appetizer combinations.

By combining it with vegetables, fresh salads, whole grains or low-fat dairy products, meat creates perfectly balanced meals.

But in a world where the choice of meat products is vast, what is it that we should pay particular attention to?

There are four main points to pay attention to, which are:

•         quality raw material;
•         strict safety standards;
•         regular production controls;
•         proper storage and distribution.

Hence, it becomes clear that Pekabesko AD is a company that pays attention to all these criteria and brings the highest quality, tastiest, and safest products to your table.

This is a company that has a 45-year tradition, but which has also provided all necessary safety standards in production that guarantee the quality and safety of the durable and semi-durable cured meat products in their offer.

By implementing HACCP and obtaining ISO certificates, as well as regular testing of finished products, quality and safety are guaranteed, which is why Pekabesko has been the favorite brand of cured meat products for decades, which we consume for breakfast, lunch and light dinner, as well as for appetizers with friends and loved ones.

In 2012, Pekabesko opened a new Production and Logistics Center in the village of Kadino, Ilinden.

The center has an area of 19,700 m2 and is built according to all European and HACCP standards for the production of delicatessen products.

This plant has a production capacity of 35 tons per day, and has an extensive distribution network and warehouses with 7,500 pallet spaces in all storage modes.
