Hossa family

Hossa family (legal entity Hossa family, s.r.o.) is a Slovak producer and distributor of frozen, chilled and dry food products, headquartered in Poprad-Matejovce, Slovakia. Established in 2008, the company has grown into one of the country's leading manufacturers of frozen dough-based and breaded meals, built around its flagship product, pierogi (varené halušky/pirohy), which represents around a third of total production.

Beyond its own manufacturing, a substantial part of the group's turnover comes from its trading and distribution division, which sells a full assortment of gastro/foodservice goods and holds an exclusive distribution agreement for Algida ice cream in Slovakia. The company operates its own brands, including Stará mama, Farmília and V-generation, alongside private-label production for retail partners.

Its product range covers frozen savoury meals, frozen sweet meals, breaded and floured products, as well as vegetarian and vegan items. Distribution reaches both small independent shops and major transnational retail chains such as Lidl, Kaufland, Tesco, Rewe and Coop, as well as foodservice/gastro outlets across Slovakia, with expansion into the Czech market. The company promises delivery within 24 hours anywhere in Slovakia thanks to a nationwide logistics network built around a central warehouse in Poprad and a newer, larger warehouse near Bratislava, supported by regional depots in Prešov, Poprad, Ružomberok, Bytča, Zvolen, Nitra and Bratislava.

Hossa family is majority owned by former NHL Hall-of-Fame player Marián Hossa, who became sole owner at the end of 2018 after initially backing the business as an investor. The company has continued to invest in production capacity, including a new spiral freezer and an extended breading/forming line, and has announced plans for a new production facility in Veľká Lomnica. According to Slovak business-register filings, the company generated revenue of roughly €85 million with continued double-digit growth in recent years, reflecting its dual role as both a food manufacturer and a national wholesale/retail distributor. The company also operates a direct-to-consumer e-shop alongside its wholesale and retail distribution channels.
