Manufactured under strict IFS Food & BRCGS guidelines in Wielkopolska, Poland. Engineered for optimal bioavailability, clean declarations, and retail shelf excellence.
The paradigm of food and pet nutritional processing across Europe has shifted dramatically from thermal-intensive extrusion to low-temperature press technology. As a premier cold pressed supplier and exporter in Poland, our manufacturing infrastructure located in Koźmin Wielkopolski is engineered to address the fundamental structural flaw of traditional cooking: thermal degradation of macronutrients and thermolabile micronutrients.
Traditional high-temperature short-time (HTST) extrusion forces raw materials through barrels at temperatures ranging between 120°C and 160°C under severe hydraulic shear pressure (often exceeding 30 to 40 bar). While this process achieves starch gelatinization, it irreversibly denatures delicate proteins, destroys naturally occurring active enzymes, oxidizes vital Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, and degrades heat-sensitive B-group vitamins and Probiotics. Consequently, extruded foods require extensive post-process synthetic fat coating and artificial vitamin sprays to restore basic nutritional profiles.
In contrast, our state-of-the-art Polish cold-pressing facility utilizes specialized mechanical roller press matrix heads that operate strictly within a controlled thermal envelope of 45°C to 75°C. By combining gentle mechanical compaction with low frictional heat, the structural integrity of native ingredients remains intact. Raw meat proteins, herbal botanical complexes, and essential lipids retain their tertiary biological structures, providing unmatched biological value, bio-accessibility, and natural palatability without requiring chemical flavor enhancers or heavy topical oil coatings.
Operates strictly under 75°C to preserve thermosensitive vitamins, active probiotics, and native peptide chains for maximum bioavailability.
Cold-pressed pellets dissolve rapidly from the outside in within the stomach without swelling, preventing bloat and digestive torsion.
Eliminates the need for artificial binders, synthetic preservatives, or post-extrusion oil spraying, satisfying strict European clean-label criteria.
To assist brand owners, retail buyers, and procurement directors in evaluating contract manufacturing options, our technical R&D department has compiled a empirical comparison of thermal processing methodologies executed at our Polish production facility.

As a leading exporter situated strategically in Central Europe, Global Pet's Food Sp. z o.o. caters to distinct commercial sectors across Poland, Germany, Scandinavia, Western Europe, and global export destinations. The versatile physical and nutritional profile of cold-pressed products allows seamless integration into diverse market channels:
European grocery chains are rapidly adjusting shelf space to accommodate "natural," "raw-inspired," and "clean-label" product lines. Cold-pressed products serve as the perfect bridge between mass-market extruded dry foods and expensive frozen raw diets. Our facilities supply retail chains in Warsaw, Berlin, Paris, and Stockholm with shelf-ready recyclable doypacks, complete with multi-language local packaging compliance (NIP, veterinary approval stamps, and local dietary declarations).
Because cold pressing does not alter the molecular structure of sensitive bioactive compounds, veterinary brands utilize our contract manufacturing services to create therapeutic formulations. These include hypoallergenic single-protein diets (mono-protein lamb, duck, or insect protein), renal support formulations with non-damaged omega fatty acids, and gastrointestinal care lines enriched with active live probiotics that survive the low-temperature compaction process.
In regions across Poland and Northern Europe where canine sports, hunting, and utility work are prevalent, nutrient density and rapid energy absorption are paramount. Cold-pressed pellets offer a dense, non-expanded caloric profile that delivers immediate amino acid replenishment without filling the stomach with air, substantially mitigating the risk of Gastric Dilatation-Volvulus (GDV).
Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) brands require distinctive product differentiators to lower customer acquisition costs (CAC) and increase lifetime value (LTV). By leveraging our bespoke recipe development (over 5,000 existing formulations) and flexible batch runs, online brands offer tailored subscription plans featuring unique inclusions like ASC-certified Scandinavian salmon, cold-pressed Polish apples, locally sourced herbal extracts, and functional botanicals.
Poland has solidified its position as the industrial engine for food and pet food manufacturing within the European Union. Several key macroeconomic and technological trends continue to drive international brand owners to partner with Polish cold-pressed exporters:
Poland's agricultural heartland (specifically the Wielkopolska region) provides direct access to fresh, human-grade raw ingredients. Our production facility leverages short supply chains, acquiring fresh poultry, beef, root vegetables, and herbs directly from certified local farms. Furthermore, fish proteins are backed by ASC (Aquaculture Stewardship Council) and MSC (Marine Stewardship Council) Chain of Custody certifications, providing complete transparency from ocean to retail shelf.
European sustainability mandates and consumer awareness require manufacturing processes to drastically reduce carbon intensity. Cold pressing inherently consumes significantly less thermal energy than traditional extrusion dryers. Coupled with our plant’s 10 MW on-site photovoltaic installation and closed-loop heat recovery systems on sterilizers, our Polish manufacturing facilities offer brands a measurable carbon-footprint reduction for their ESG reporting.
In accordance with upcoming EU packaging waste regulations, brand owners must eliminate non-recyclable multi-layer foil laminates. We offer state-of-the-art packaging capabilities using mono-PE and mono-PP recyclable doypacks, flow-packs, and recyclable alupack pouches that maintain high oxygen and moisture barriers without compromising environmental compliance.
