      One of the first classical results of universal algebra is the famous theorem due to Birkhoff, according to which every algebra is a subdirect product of subdirectly irreducible algebras. In this paper, the authors study the notions of coproduct and subdirect product of preadditive categories and prove a Birkhoff type theorem showing that every skeletally small preadditive category is a subdirect product of subdirectly irreducible, skeletally small, preadditive categories.
