Mission and vision
The company’s mission is to provide the products of high and stable quality. In order to achieve that, its experts follow the corporate values of the company thanks to which customers buy its products. Among the rules and values the company sticks to, there are only high-quality raw materials and verified suppliers. Using only the high-quality raw materials is a key to create a product that meets all the required standards. The company’s own slaughterhouse ensures the manufacture of products from fresh and high quality meet. Every animal that enters Yuvileinyi’s meat processing plant is a subject to obligatory state and private veterinary control. The company’s products are not manufactured from raw materials containing GMO as Yuvileinyi’s goal is naturalness in each gram of products it releases. The same principle is shared by the company’s partners: Ukrainian suppliers of raw meat and European suppliers of spices (Austrian companies Almi and Wiberg and a German-based RAPS). Another value the company follows is the use of modern equipment from the world leaders. Organization of the production process (structure, capacity and location of equipment) has been developed by the European design office Lissner, specializing in designing meat processing facilities. Therefore, Yuibileyny has been established according to the latest scientific and technological European achievements. During the project, the company has purchased equipment of the world leading manufacturers, including: Banss, Seydelmann, Bizerba, Schroter, Poly-Clip, Handtmann and Webomatic (Germany), KJ (Denmark), Alpina (Switzerland) and Laska (Austria). Thus, a unique full-cycle meat processing plant was established, where the whole production process – from slaughter to packaging of the finished product is based in the same area. All the operational processes are kept at a constantly high level. Today, Yuvileinyi production facility is exemplary in Ukraine. The company applies strict sanitary control at all stages. Its production is certified by HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points), in accordance with the requirements of DSTU 4161-2003 food safety management system. An authority for certification of quality systems at state enterprises issued a certificate for the food safety management system, which is compliant with the requirements of DSTU ISO 22000-2007 and HACCP (according to DSTU 4161-2003). This system assures control at all stages of the production chain, at each point of production, storage and sale. To isolate production from negative factors, the company uses contact-free taps and modern protective clothing. All the company’s facilities are cleaned using the products from Ecolab – a leader in the production of detergents, cleaners and disinfectants. In December 2011, the company successfully passed an independent audit of meat and meat products manufacturers, organized by the Kiev Institute of Customer Expertise. According to Yury Chernobryvets, the Institute’s director, the five enterprises that have passed the audit can be called leaders. In its production process, the company uses modern packaging, preserving quality. For Yuvileinyi, packaging is an additional protection of quality – the company is first to implement innovations in this area. Among Yuvileinyi’s long-term and reliable partners, there are: Multivac, Webomatic and Zudpack (Germany), Cryovak (USA) and Atlantis Pack (Russia). All of them are the leaders in their field and provide Yuvileinyi with materials and packaging which helps to retain flavor characteristics and healthy properties of its products. The company employs experts in their field, people who know and love their work. Continuous improvement of the level of training provided and regular testing of staff are the key to success. The desire to work properly, the aim to achieve high results, integrity and accountability are the company’s key requirements. Yuvileinyi has an automated enterprise management system – it guarantees that the products reach European standards. The system covers all of the company’s key business processes: management of the purchase, production, sale, logistics, finance and personnel. Strict adherence to all production processes at the plant has been certified with ISO 22000-2007 international standard. Thanks to its own vehicles equipped with refrigerators as well as a temperature tracking system, the products are delivered quickly and efficiently to customers. The company aims to increase the chain of sales outlets by development of the chain of branches and proprietary shops. Yuvileinyi cooperates in terms of distribution with the largests trading networks. During the period of the company’s presence on the market, it has released a number of successful products and brands.
