Tesco Stores, from the perspective of size and diversity of its chain, as well as the number of employees, remains one of the largest retailers in the Slovak market. During February 2024, Tesco conducted the Tesco Standard audit with its supplier at EU Poultry s.r.o. (parent company of QUALIS TRADE LTD). The result of the audit was excellent.

Currently, Tesco Stores in Slovakia continues to be one of the largest retail chains. It operates a wide range of retail formats: smaller express stores, supermarkets, hypermarkets, as well as petrol stations and an online supermarket. The annual turnover of more than 170 branches reaches 1.64 billion euros, and the chain employs almost 10,000 people. It primarily chooses its suppliers among local companies. The Tesco Stores technical group conducts ongoing audits with them to ensure they have the appropriate infrastructure, capabilities, and capacities to meet the chain’s quality standards.

“As specialists in the processing of quality chicken meat and its suppliers, we have met all the requirements of our business partner Tesco Stores. The fact that the results were even better than in the previous audit commits us. We want to continuously improve and progress, our effort for quality and innovation brings an effect,” stated Ing. Lucia Sláviková, Quality Assurance Manager of the EU Poultry s.r.o. production plant in Horné Saliby. In the highly competitive retail environment, it holds that chains only cooperate with suppliers who successfully pass their strict audit. This also applies to the Tesco Stores network, which, as one of the oldest chains in the world, has set many standards in retail. The Tesco Standard audit is one of them, and for the chain, it is carried out by TÜV NORD Slovakia, s.r.o. inspectors. EU Poultry s.r.o. has set high internal quality standards. In many parameters, they exceed the recommendations commonly accepted and established throughout the industry.
