About us

We envisage a future where operational efficiency meets animal-friendliness and sustainability. We are actively shaping this future by making the needs of poultry and farmers the heart of everything we do.

Think ahead with poultry people

How it started

1983 saw the start of our company with the groundbreaking design of the first-ever automated breeder nest! We didn't stop there and continued to innovate across layers, breeders, broilers, and hatcheries. And every single innovation stems from a deep understanding of poultry and the intricacies of farm operations.
