Poli museum

If Britney Spears published her autobiography at 18 years old, then Poli in its forties definitely deserves a museum. After all, so much has happened in these wild forty years that it’s about time to collect all the madness in one place. Enjoy the trip down memory lane and remember: this is just the beginning. To many more mad years!

B.P.

Naturally, Poli divides history into time before Poli (B. P.), and after Poli (A. P). Given that the time before Poli is already very, very far away, it should suffice to say that it goes as far back as the year 1905, when Valentin Reinhard opened a buying station for poultry near Deutschlandsberg, in Ptuj, thus beginning the story of Perutnina Ptuj.

A.P.

Of utmost importance and especially noteworthy is the year 1974, when Perutnina Ptuj created the first ever chicken sausage no. 1. Since its birth up until today, Poli has been demonstrating consistency in standards that are the result of top quality and impeccable manufacturing processes. For 40 years. Therefore remaining the one and only.

1974

Poli was born

In addition to Professor Ernő Rubik’s invention of the Rubik's Cube, the ‘70s were also marked by another important event – the first and only parboiled chicken special sausage named Poli was born in Perutnina Ptuj. As soon as it was born, the proud parents Matilda Lovrenčič and Dr Ciril Varga knew that a bright future lay ahead for Poli.

Special from birth

What can we say about Poli? It was the first chicken special sausage on the market, a real avant-garde with an original recipe and superior quality. And it was the first sausage that overshadowed the sandwich. It was the first to enter politics. It became the first sausage in the form of paté. But why go on! There is only one Poli. And so it shall remain.

1985

Is it snack time yet?

Customers were a bit suspicious initially, but later on quickly convinced by the perfectly prepared high-quality products. A school or company trip could no longer be imagined without a Poli sandwich.

1988

Always in good company

Poli was never a loner and has always enjoyed good company. It was often seen with Pika and Koka; however, it is needless to say who had the last word.

1989

Welcome, Vegetable Poli

Because we are always willing to try to offer something new, we’ve combined the classic Poli with just the right amount of bellpeppers, cucumbers and ... well, we won’t share everything. And that is how Vegetable Poli was created.

1997

Poli goes abroad

Poli packed its bags and headed to the world. Italy was the first destination. Soon, Poli became a true traveller and a popular guest in a number of nearby and more distant countries. People are mad about Poli all the way from Scandinavia to the Mediterranean.

Poli competes in a marathon

Because life is too short to miss out on it, we were turning the pedals on the first Poli Marathon in Ptuj. On that rainy day, 1000 participants attended the event, but the number has risen to over 5000 cyclists over the next couple of years. Since Poli is an undisputed nr. 1 among special sausages, the Poli Marathon also quickly became the no. 1 recreational cycling event in Slovenia.

Poli is always up for fun

Since Poly likes seizing every opportunity to have mad fun, it has been inviting children to the Poli masquerade Halloween party ever since the year 2009.

Poli is always ready to joke around

On April Fool's Day, Perutnina Ptuj announced the plan to begin constructing a 135-meter tower in Prujsko polje, thus commemorating the 35th anniversary of Poli production. Poli Tower, signed by the Dutch architect Koon van Leeuwen, would have the highest viewing platform, a museum and a restaurant. And it was all true. Apart from the tower.

Poli likes to dress up

Poli likes to be in step with fashion. That is the reason why we’ve gotten to know her in many styles. The latest beauty makeover took place in 2009. Regardless of whether you share its taste for fashion, please be assured that its content remains unchanged from the very beginning.
