Cold storage warehouses
We understand the pivotal role cold storage warehouses play in the food industry, especially in the storage of meat and animal fats intended for human consumption. Despite meticulous planning, unforeseen events or mishandling can sometimes cause ingredients to lose their quality.
Transforming Challenges into Opportunities
When materials are no longer suitable for human consumption, they can still be valuable if a veterinarian classifies them as category 3 animal by-products. At PEPITO, we specialize in quickly and efficiently handling such situations, ensuring that these materials are put to good use and helping you limit your losses.

What type of Category 3 materials do you purchase?
Generally, fat free of tendons and skin, boneless, with a minimal amount of meat. Specifically, we purchase pork fat, beef fat, poultry fat, and mutton fat. We accept fat in frozen or chilled form..
- Beef fat: internal fat, beef fat trimmings
- Pork fat: leaf fat, ruffle fat, skin-trimming fat, back fat, and other parts with a higher fat content.
- Poultry fat
- Mutton fat
What are the packaging and labeling requirements for the raw materials being supplied?
We provide our own containers (big boxes), which we deliver on a “full-for-empty” exchange basis. We will deliver empty big boxes to you and pick up the full ones using our own transport. We also accept frozen fat on pallets. Containers transporting Category 3 animal by-products must be clearly and legibly marked with the words “Not intended for human consumption.” They must also bear the label Category 3 animal by-product. For more information, please visit the European Union website.
What documents do you require for deliveries?
A commercial document is required when transporting animal by-products. Specific documentation requirements for Category 3 animal by-products can be found on the European Union website. You must also provide a CMR and an invoice. We’d be happy to assist you with all of this.
What is the standard turnaround time from placing an collection order to the goods being picked up?
Timely and safe transport is essential for maintaining the quality of raw materials, which is why we act quickly at PEPITO.
- One-time pickup: Our goal is to ensure the highest possible quality of fat. And because refrigerated fat is perishable, we arrange for pickup at your location as quickly as possible (within a few days).
- Regular pickups: These take place at pre-arranged intervals.
What are the payment terms and due dates?
At PEPITO, we take pride in meeting agreed-upon payment deadlines. We can set these deadlines based on an individual agreement at the start of our collaboration—if you have specific internal requirements regarding payment terms, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Where do you process the raw materials you purchase?
We process all raw materials from our suppliers at our production facility in Nymburk, which also houses our administrative offices and company headquarters.
