Lihasmassaa

Lihasmassaa was founded in 2012 in the industrial district of Tampere, Finland, as a family‑owned enterprise specializing in the production and distribution of high‑quality meat products. The company’s name derives from the Finnish words “liha,” meaning meat, and “massaa,” meaning mass, reflecting its focus on large‑scale but responsibly sourced processing. From its inception, Lihasmassaa has positioned itself as an advocate of sustainable agriculture, employing a strict chain‑of‑custody system that requires all livestock to be raised on certified organic farms.

The company’s core operations include butchering, packaging, and distribution of pork, beef, and poultry. In 2016, Lihasmassaa introduced a line of ready‑to‑cook meal kits, which gained popularity among urban consumers seeking convenience without compromising on quality. By 2019, the firm had expanded its retail presence to include seven regional supermarkets and established a partnership with a major e‑commerce platform, enabling nationwide delivery.

Lihasmassaa is recognized for its commitment to animal welfare. It has received the “Responsible Livestock” certification from the Finnish Agricultural Agency and participates in ongoing research programmes aimed at reducing greenhouse‑gas emissions in meat production. The company also supports local community initiatives, such as scholarships for students pursuing studies in animal science and food technology.

In recent years, Lihasmassaa has continued to grow, maintaining a balance between industrial efficiency and ecological stewardship. Its mission remains to provide consumers with safe, nutritious meat products while contributing positively to Finland’s agricultural landscape and economy.
