UPEMI is composed of people and companies boasting extensive experience and showing readiness to take up challenges and accomplish ambitious goals. Since the beginning of our activity we have been creating our own unique manner of supporting and developing the Polish meat industry. To our satisfaction, we have already successfully completed over 40 projects, 5 international campaigns, thousands of fair events, press conferences, seminars, training courses and business meetings. Our activities were carried out not only in Poland and in the European market but also in China, South Korea, Vietnam, the USA, New Zealand, South Africa, Singapore, Kazakhstan and Canada. Believing in a systematic creation of quality and in the importance of management in this area, we created an industry Quality Assurance for Food Products system, which is certified by independent certification bodies supervised by the Polish Centre for Accreditation.
