The privately owned fish processing firm, UAB „JVA Partneris", is based in the town of Priekule, some 20 kilometers from the Lithuanian port city of Klaipeda. The firm‘s primary business is commercial fish processing. UAB „JVA Partneris" produces high quality dried fish products as well as chilled fish. Production quality is ensured according to a formal risk analysis and control program (RVASVT), validated by the State Food and Veterinary Board (VMVT). Quality is directly controlled by Klaipeda County VMVT. Production engages the newest technologies in accordance with strict European Union regulations and standards.
The firm‘s strategically favorable site on the shores of the Curonian lagoon near the Baltic Sea allows for the purchase of fresh fish directly from fishermen and for its immediate processing, thereby preserving all the nutrients present in fresh fish. A particularly high degree of attention is devoted to the quality of the freshly caught fish. The primary types of fish processed include roach, bream, vimba, smelt, flounder, and squid.
In seeking a broader commercial product assortment, the firm imports fresh fish from the delta of the Volga River.
