Although the overall turnover is growing rapidly due to B2B expansion, in B2C we have improved our year-on-year results in turnover by “only” about 40% in the beginning of October, but the number of orders has even dropped! We attribute this to lower B2C client acquisition and the fact that already established customers are making…

While the US has developed a special billion-dollar pen for the weightless conditions of spaceflight that writes in all conditions, the Russians use an ordinary pencil. 🙂 This joke reminded us of our new, but workable solution to vetting batches of cans from our suppliers. Since we have recently dealt with the annoyance of a…

Due to the high workload of our production, we have switched to a mode where we pack pouches and cans simultaneously in the secondary part of the production!

Along with the start-up of the new compressor, we also put into operation new – metal – compressed air distribution lines. Compared to the existing plastic manifolds, they provide better flow, less leakage, but most importantly, the massive air duct balances the pressure fluctuations in the system when running multiple demanding devices at once.

We are very pleased to have launched a new compressor in our production hall! In addition to the dramatic reduction in noise in the production area, the air pressure has also been stabilized with many of the production equipment operating at the same time. This will also allow some of the sterilization phases to be…

So far, the day shift is reaching these figures and the night shift is…

Our sales team uses our production capacities! We have obtained a listing of our LOUIE branded goods with a company that owns 450 of the toppet supply stores in Central Europe!

In order to prepare the technical infrastructure for the third and fourth phase of the expansion of production capacity, we are installing a complete new network of ducting, air ducts, filters, dryers and screw compressors to create sufficient quality compressed air.

Part of the third phase of the expansion of our production facilities is to designate the space where we currently have offices for storage of empty cans and for a hygiene loop. To enable us to carry out these alterations, we have started a project to move the offices to an adjacent building.

Due to the need to reorganize and increase the capacity of our distribution warehouse, we were forced to create a new MTZ warehouse. The transfer of material and equipment to this warehouse has already started! The distribution warehouse in Kuřim will therefore only be used to store goods ready for dispatch.

Increasing demands on production capacity also create increasing demands for flexible supply of raw material from external freezers. That’s why we have expanded our fleet with a Mercedes Atego freezer that can transport 7 tonnes of material at a time. This represents up to 40,000 400 g cans, depending on the type of production. This…

In response to a request from one of the largest supermarket chains in the Czech Republic, we have decided to expand the LOUIE product range with new 150 and 300 g pouches.

Our customers are satisfied with LOUIE canned food! This is the conclusion we can draw from the fact that during June and July 2024, our e-shop orders from existing clients accounted for approximately 60% of all orders. This is a sign of good retention, where existing customers are able to account for more than half…

Although Sportissimo is a strong player in a different field than pet supplies, their e-shop will soon enrich our LOUIE products. In particular, we expect this to strengthen the LOUIE brand, which will reach more users and gain a larger audience.

Already for the first year 2023, in which we transformed into a joint-stock company, we have today paid dividends of CZK 10,266 per share, which at a purchase price of CZK 100,000 is 10.27% appreciation in the first year alone!

As we have mentioned several times, our e-shops, as B2C channels with high margins, are the most interesting sales channel for us in the long term.

Based on the demand from the largest networks in the Czech Republic, we are starting the process of launching LOUIE pouches for dogs in 150 g and 300 g sizes!

Before obtaining the necessary registrations for our coffee oil extracted from the sedum for food use, we decided to offer it for cosmetic use. In order to do this, we are required to provide dermatological testing. This was successfully carried out and our product passed!

We have received an opinion from the Ministry of Agriculture, according to which our coffee oil extracted from the so called “coffee grounds” is. “novel food” or “novel-food”. We have therefore taken the first steps to start the application process.

Although we have only received a sufficient supply of electricity in the first quarter of 2024. energy, which has opened up a capacity of up to 40,000 cans per day, which we are now intensively occupying, we are already planning to pay dividends corresponding to 10.26% of the initial investment of our shareholders for 2023,…

As a large part of our demand for the production of so-called.
