Hubbard Flex GP agreement for South Korea
Press release
Hubbard recently announced that it has reached an agreement with Maniker Co. Ltd. of South Korea to handle the sales and distribution of Hubbard parent stock in the Korean peninsular.
Hubbard has always been a major supplier to the Korean market with the Hubbard Classic, and since 2003, also with the Hubbard Flex package.
Maniker Co. Ltd. is today the second largest integrated broiler company in South Korea placing close to one million parent stock for their own needs.
Maniker Co. Ltd. announced earlier this year its intention to further integrate the company through establishing its own GP facilities to better secure the quality and traceability of its own parent stock, and to be able to offer the same quality and assurances of supply to other companies in South Korea.
Tae Hwan Kim of Maniker remarked, "Our choice and confidence in Hubbard and its products stem from our many years of experience with the Hubbard product, combined with Hubbard's professional technical support team, which makes the Flex package the ideal choice for integration".
Jeff Sharp, Hubbard's regional business development manager, added, "Through its large international breeding and supply network, Hubbard has the ability to offer security of supply from several continents and, bearing in mind the recent worldwide avian influenza situation, this is of particular importance to Maniker".
The first Hubbard Flex has been delivered in end-November 2006 to a brand new GP complex in South Korea.
