About TANY
The heart of our smelter is in Šumava
Our origins and connection to the Šumava region and its dairy history are a commitment for us. We are not backed by multinational giants, but are a purely Czech company. This makes us behave even more responsibly and honestly towards our surroundings.
We are at home in Šumava, but you can find our processed cheeses throughout the Czech Republic.
One of our company's main long-term goals is to offer customers high-quality processed cheese at an affordable price. We pay great attention to the selection of raw materials, recipes, and production processes. The growing popularity of our products and the fact that more and more consumers buy our cheeses every year confirm that we are doing well and succeeding.
What is important to us
Honesty and respect for craftsmanship
Respect for craftsmanship and adherence to honest recipes carry great weight thanks to tradition in our region. We have a lot to build on, and we are confident that maintaining strict standards is a key ingredient in our long-term success.
Satisfied customer
You can best see what we are like in our processed cheeses. We adhere to the highest standards, emphasize the quality of raw materials, and strive to continuously improve so that you are always satisfied with our processed cheeses and enjoy their taste.
Careful processing of raw materials
Good processed cheese can only be made from high-quality ingredients. To preserve as many nutrients as possible, we process them as gently as possible. That is why our processed cheeses must be kept refrigerated at all times and have a shorter shelf life. But we believe you will appreciate this.

Modern developments in society
After the Velvet Revolution, TANY, spol. s r.o. was founded in 1990. Thanks to a successful privatization project, it was able to purchase the former smelting plant from the state and thus restore the original production program of processed cheese in the Šumava region. However, in connection with the Czech Republic's accession to the European Union, it was necessary to completely modernize the entire plant, complete its construction, and adapt production to the strict legislative requirements imposed by the European Union on food production.
Today, the TANY cheese melting plant in Nýrsko is a modern food processing facility that meets the strictest criteria for safe food production. Since joining the EU, production here has increased by more than 30% and continues to grow year on year, confirming not only the growing consumer interest in TANY products, but also the company's successful management.
Since 2022, we have become part of
the Czech investment group Adax Invest.
Company history
Establishment of a cheese factory
The dairy industry in Nýrsko has a tradition dating back more than ninety years. The former Dairy Cooperative in Nýrsko was founded in 1936, but originally the plant was a general dairy processing facility. Processed cheese began to be produced here only during World War II. At that time, the factory was already in territory occupied by Germany and was thus under German administration..
Post-war period
It was only after World War II and subsequent nationalization that the plant was incorporated into a dairy complex based in Klatovy (since 1960 Západočeské mlékárny, n.p.) and specialized exclusively in the production of processed cheese. However, production in Nýrsko was discontinued in the second half of the 1980s because it was transferred to the newly built "dairy complex" in Klatovy. The Nýrsko cheese factory thus began to fall into disrepair until it was privatized in the early 1990s and the production of processed cheese was resumed there.
