Did you know?

The idea of Argeta was created purely by coincidence.
Workers at the Argo stock cube plant grew tired of the same old lunch – chicken meat from soup. Management decided to use the meat from which they made soup to make pâté. To this day, we still cook the soup and use only the meat, and this is the secret to our success.
In one year we produce more Argeta pâtés than the length of the Great Wall of China.
Fact: One Argeta package is opened somewhere in the world every 4 seconds. Each year we produce more than 130,000,000 tins. If we placed them side by side, it would be longer than the Great Wall of China.
A little girl named Argeta
In 2013, parents in Kosovo named their baby girl Argeta. Her parents say that they enjoy the sound of the word but we're sure that the our brand association influenced their choice. This little girl is is a big fan of Argeta, especially Argeta Junior. Argeta products are well-loved in Kosovo so her friends love the name as well.

Argeta is number 1 in Europe

and a favourite in over 30 countries around the world.
