About the company

Our story

Beluša foods

Martin Šajdík

CEO of Belusa foods

“Our company in Beluša was founded in 1995 by the Dutch food group Brinkers, which has a history of over 100 years. In 1997, production of margarine and vegetable fats was launched. Over the following decades, the company became one of the most important producers and suppliers of margarine for the bakery and confectionery industry in Central Europe. In 2008, the Norwegian group Orkla Food Ingredients became the new owner of the production plant in Beluša and remains our owner to this day. Thanks to the strong backing of the parent group, significant investments in infrastructure, production process automation, product innovation, and continuous development of the employee team, Beluša Foods is now a market leader in Slovakia and the Czech Republic, a respected player in Hungary and Poland, and is expanding its presence to other countries, from the Baltics to the Balkans.“

Since 2008, Beluša Foods s.r.o. has been part of the Norwegian concern ORKLA ASA,
through the Swedish company Kaka Aktiebolag.
