Cooked, roasted and crispy poultry developed for food professionals.
Vleki develops, sources and supplies poultry products for the food industry, wholesalers, foodservice distributors, franchise organisations and retail groups. From an existing product available from stock to a completely new recipe, cut, coating, flavour, cooking process or packaging concept.
We work internationally with specialised food manufacturers and product developers to turn practical ideas into products that can work in a professional kitchen, industrial recipe, foodservice concept or retail range.
Discuss your product with usSometimes you need a product. Sometimes you need someone who understands the product you are looking for.
A piece of chicken can look simple. For a professional buyer or product developer, it rarely is.
The right cut changes how a salad looks. The right roasting process changes the bite of a sandwich. A few millimetres can make a difference in a pizza topping. The coating determines whether a chicken tender remains crispy. The recipe determines whether your customer orders it again.
That is where our work starts.
Food industry
Cooked and roasted poultry for salads, ready meals, sauces, pizzas, sandwich fillings, soups, meal components and further processing. Cuts, recipes and specifications can be selected according to the final application.
Wholesalers & foodservice
A broad professional assortment of frozen and chilled poultry products, including products that are already available from stock for efficient distribution.
Franchise & restaurant concepts
Chicken products developed around a specific serving method: burgers, wraps, bowls, salads, finger food, fried chicken, toppings, sharing dishes and other professional applications.
Retail & private label
Product sourcing and development combined with different packaging possibilities for retail, foodservice and private-label projects, depending on volumes and specifications.
A direct line from your question to people who understand food.
Vleki is deliberately personal. You are not passed through layer after layer of account managers. The business is still directly involved in its customers, products and projects.
Customers are served personally by the owner and his son. When a technical or product-related question requires specialist knowledge, it can be discussed directly with experienced product developers and manufacturing partners.
That short communication line matters. Especially when you are discussing texture, yield, dimensions, seasoning, breading, roasting, cooking, freezing, packaging or a product that does not yet exist.
We do not believe every request needs a complicated development project. Sometimes the best solution is already sitting in our assortment or warehouse. If it is not, we investigate whether it can realistically be made.
Our poultry specialities
Cooked chicken, hen and turkey
Cooked poultry for professional food production and foodservice. Available in different cuts, recipes and specifications, including IQF frozen products and fresh vacuum-pasteurised applications.
Roasted chicken
Roasted poultry with the colour, aroma and bite expected from a product that needs to remain visible on a salad, sandwich, wrap, pizza, ready meal or foodservice dish.
Cooked hen meat
Hen breast and hen leg meat for recipes where mature poultry flavour, texture and functionality are important. Suitable for applications such as soups, fillings, prepared meals, sauces and food manufacturing.
Crispy natural chicken cuts
Chicken breast, tenderloins and other natural chicken cuts with different coatings, crumb structures, seasonings and product shapes. Developed for professional preparation while retaining the appearance and bite of an identifiable piece of chicken.
Formed and breaded chicken products
Professional crispy poultry products for foodservice, wholesale, restaurant concepts and retail. From familiar formats to products developed around a particular portion size, recipe, coating or price position.
From the world to your market.
Good product development starts by looking beyond one factory, one country or one manufacturing technique.
Vleki works internationally to find manufacturing solutions that match the required product, application, quality, volume and commercial objective.
That can mean working with an existing production specification. It can also mean adapting a cut, recipe, cooking process, seasoning, coating, portion weight or packaging format together with a specialised producer.
Our role is not to claim that everything is possible. Our role is to understand what you want to achieve, identify realistic production possibilities and help turn the right idea into a commercially usable food product.
Product development starts with the application.
Instead of beginning with a factory catalogue, we prefer to understand where and how the product will actually be used.
What will it be used for?
Salad, sandwich, wrap, pizza, ready meal, sauce, soup, finger food, restaurant dish, industrial processing or retail?
What should the consumer experience?
Juicy, roasted, tender, crispy, spicy, natural, smoky, lightly seasoned or intensely flavoured?
How should it perform?
Cold or hot serving, regeneration, frying, oven, air fryer, industrial mixing, chilled processing or frozen distribution?
How should it be supplied?
IQF, chilled, vacuum packed, bulk packed, foodservice packaging or private label, depending on the product and required volumes.
Stock when speed matters. Development when something different is needed.
Not every customer wants to wait for a new production run. That is why Vleki also maintains a broad professional assortment of products available from stock.
This makes it possible to start with an existing product, test an application, supply smaller professional requirements or bridge the period before a tailor-made production becomes available.
For larger or specific projects we can investigate customised production, recipes, dimensions, flavours and packaging with our production partners.
Private label and professional packaging
Depending on the product, volume and project, Vleki products can be supplied under the Vleki brand or possibilities can be studied for customer-specific and private-label packaging.
Packaging solutions can range from professional bulk packs to smaller bags, trays, cartons and other formats, depending on the applicable manufacturing and packing line.
Halal-certified production and other specific certification requirements can also be discussed where available and applicable to the selected product and production site.

Tell us what you are trying to make.
You do not need to know the exact specification before contacting us. Tell us the application, the product you have in mind, the taste or texture you want and the approximate volume. We can start from there.
Perhaps the product already exists in our assortment. Perhaps a small adjustment is enough. Perhaps it requires a completely new development.
