History

The LIMA ’s company origin goes back to the early 70's, when Brittany and the Great West of France became the No. 1 european region dedicated to poultry breeding and further processing.

The availability of raw product from many local poultry slaughter houses allowed to set up in 1973 , “ PROTEIS VIANDES Cy .”, dedicated to the production of poultry and pork Mechanically Separated Meat (MSM), on separators of their own design.

The LIMA Cy., which means “ LES INNOVATIONS MECANIQUES ALIMENTAIRES ” (the mechanical innovations for the food industry) was therefore incorporated in 1981 to manufacture this separator.

Since then, with dynamism in innovation, LIMA has specialized in the design, manufacturing and sales of a complete range of :

• meat bones separators, deboners, desinewers,

internationally patented, corresponding to the highest EU-USA quality standards .

In spring 1999, LIMA moved to a new factory modernly equipped with an inhouse laboratory to allow customers to test their own products.
