About Argeta
Argeta is a meat and fish pâté that Atlantic calls the leading brand of its kind in Europe. Its own history says the Argo plant in Izola, Slovenia, made its first chicken pâté in 1963 as a by-product of soup concentrates, and that the product took the name Argeta, from Argo, in 1977. Atlantic Grupa bought its maker, Droga Kolinska, in 2010. In 2025 Germany became its second-largest market, with more than 2,700 tonnes sold.
