Jamesway supplies Colombia's Avidesa Mac Pollo with two new hatcheries

Colombia's Planta Zaragoza and Planta Bacaramanga are two new Avidesa hatcheries which have recently begun operations using hatchery solutions from Jamesway Incubator Company.

Avidesa Mac Pollo Hatchery, based in Zaragoza, began operations in 2016 with 12 Platinum 120 Incubators and 16 Platinum 40 hatchers. Avidesa de Occidente, based in Bucaramanga, started operations with 18 Platinum 120 incubator. In the coming year, six machines will be installed at the Bucaramanga site, bringing the total number of incubators and hatchers at its premise to 24 and 16, respectively.

A top poultry company in Columbia, Avidesa has invested significantly into improving its distribution and delivery, as well as its own network of small stores.

Jamesway has been a partner with Avidesa since 2016, according to the former.

"It is an honor that one of the top companies in Latin America choose the Platinum 2.0 single-stage incubation system for their new hatcheries," said Dr. Jesus Campa, Jamesway's senior manager of sales for Latin America.

The new hatcheries are expected to deliver a combined output of 80,510,976 chicks per year (1,548,288 a week).
