ABOUT US

Polven Foods was created with the desire to make delicious food. Since there was no delicious mayonnaise in the stores in the 1990s, we decided to begin to produce it ourselves. Our mayonnaise-masters had to try out several recipes until they discovered just the right taste and we could start production. We are using the original recipes created during the long testing period to date.

Our company was founded in 1998 in Ida-Virumaa (Estonia), where we began to produce three products in our 100-square-meter plant: mayonnaises Provensaal and Kodune, and ketchup. Today, we are one of the largest mayonnaise and condensed milk producers in the Baltic States and the only condensed milk producer in Estonia.

We sell our products in retail chains in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, and in the accommodation and catering sector (HoReCa). Our customers are the largest retail chains in the Baltic States, confectionery producers, retail chain kitchens, confectionery and bakery industries, and ready-made food producers.

Our products have received a number of recognitions:

• ‘Best Food Product Launching 2009’ Meirans Mayonnaise in Latvia
•  ‘Estonia’s Best Food Product 2010’ Jaani Provansaal mayonnaise in Estonia
• ‘Best Food Product Launching 2011 and 2013’ Kodune mayonnaise in Estonia

The goal of Polven Foods OÜ is to enrich our customers’ table and offer unique taste experiences. We work every day to produce high-quality products that people love and that fit in with their eating culture. We would like products made by Polven Foods to inspire people when preparing their own meals and to make their life easier.

We attach importance to the professional competence of our employees and their responsible attitude to their work. We feel joy in what we do. Teamwork, customer commitment and reliability are the key values of our work.

According to Äripäev, Polven Foods OÜ is ranked 11th among the most successful food industries in Estonia. We have done well, and therefore feel the need to share our success and contribute to the growth of social responsibility and well-being in Estonian society. We support a number of sports events, educational initiatives and initiatives aimed at improving children’s well-being.

From 2017, we decided to replace the Christmas gifts for partners with the support to people who need help. We donated all of the Christmas gift money to the charity foundations Südamete Soojus and Dharma. As a result, children received better treatment and families received vital support and assistance.
