Meyn-Ishida to launch new poultry processing project in Poland
Meyn-Ishida, the alliance assigned to the sales of total poultry processing solutions, has just gotten its fourth major contract whereby it is required to deliver and install a complete Wall to Wall plant beside the current factory for Wipasz in Poland.
Wipasz, one of Poland's leading animal feed suppliers, first diversified into poultry processing in 2010 with the acquisition of a 5,000 birds per hour (bph) facility.
The first task of Meyn-Ishida will be to replace the existing live bird arrival system and to upgrade the current bulk pack operation with advanced weighing and tray packing capabilities to enable it to produce a more sophisticated range of products. The next step will be to deliver and install Meyn-Ishida equipment for a completely new to build processing plant. Both steps will be accomplished during 2011-13.
The award of the contract followed visits by Wipasz to existing installations, during which the alliance was able to demonstrate the added value of its integrated solutions. Meyn-Ishida expertise in optimising the use of space in poultry processing plants was another important factor, as there were major space constraints at the existing plant.
