About us
The Demes story
Demes has years of experience manufacturing protein products, committed to quality, food safety, and customer satisfaction.
Our journey
Demes, a national brand
Demes Meat Products Company began operating in Shiraz in 1980, as the first sausage and cold-cuts producer outside Tehran in the south of the country. Using the most advanced machinery of the time and a team of experienced food-industry specialists, Demes — a Mazandarani word for a milk-fed calf — launched under the motto "the mark of superior quality."
The current factory, with its multiple production halls at kilometre 18 of the Shiraz–Bushehr road in the Khan-e Khomeis area, came online in 1996.
What began as sausages and cold cuts in the early years grew into packaged red meat (beef and lamb), white meat (chicken and turkey), kebab loghme and burgers, and processed chicken and cured white-meat products — today the factory produces more than one hundred different items.
Infrastructure
A plant set in open country
Extensive green space, separated production halls and temperature-controlled systems create an environment where hygiene and quality are genuinely measurable.
Process
From selection to packaging
Every Demes product passes through three controlled stages.
01
Raw material selection
Meat and additives are sourced from approved suppliers and tested before they ever reach the production line.
02
Production & processing
Precise formulation, controlled temperature and industrial equipment keep taste and texture consistent in every batch.
03
Packing & distribution
Hygienic packaging and an unbroken cold chain deliver the product fresh and safe to the consumer.
Values
What we hold to
Consistency
Today's product must taste exactly like last year's product.
