The story begins
The Carmolimp story begins with a small shop.
SINCE 1991
From a small shop to complete food solutions: a history built through production, farms, abattoirs, restaurants, retail, exports and technological development.


OUR PROMISE

Carmolimp has been a family business from the very beginning. We have grown naturally, close to people, agriculture and our farms, and today hold an important place in Romania's fresh and chilled ready-meal market. More than 30 years of food-processing experience and more than 20 years in foodservice help us understand both the discipline of large-scale production and the reality of the professional kitchen. Chefs lead our culinary vision and development, while engineers and food technologists turn ideas into safe, consistent and carefully controlled processes. We remain connected to our roots while continuing to invest, with the same curiosity, in research and food technologies relevant to today's consumer. We also preserve our tradition in lamb and sheep processing and trade, building lasting relationships with suppliers and customers in Romania and other markets. Our experience supports projects for international retail and foodservice networks, all-inclusive hotels, self-service and à la carte restaurants, cafés and bistros. Through the ZIZAM platform and solutions developed for our partners, we continue to explore e-commerce thoughtfully. Our chilled and frozen ready-meal range, created for our own brands and our partners' brands, completes this expertise. And the product many people know us for — our ready-to-serve soups — now reaches every type of foodservice location through nationwide distribution.
HOW WE WORK
We do it right from the start and repeat it well.
We clearly explain what the product is and what it offers.
For ingredients, work, partners and people.
We use technology when it improves flavour, control, efficiency or reduces waste.


EXPERIENCE FROM THE RESTAURANT WORLD
Restaurant-operation experience brings the real context into the conversation: timing, volume, finishing, plating and pace of service.
