Plans for the further processing of meat are set in motion immediately when livestock sales co-operative Itikka moves to Seinäjoki. Itikka builds its first sausage factory in rather modest surroundings.
Itikka purchases its first vehicle at the turn of the 1920s.
Itikka's first slaughterhouse between 1914 and 1936. The wooden barn with its panel structure was designed to be temporary but it served as a slaughterhouse for almost 20 years.

Lihakunta's first sausage factory operated in the courtyard of the wooden house pictured in 1910. The house was located on the Puijonkatu street in Kuopio. From a financial perspective, it was a significant decision to begin manufacturing sausages as the sausage factory's production accounted for half of the co-operative's net sales in the following year. This picture was taken in 1963.
Meat purchasing operations began in Estonia in the 1910s.
