Meyn-Ishida, the alliance dedicated to the sales of total
poultry processing solutions, has just won its fourth major
contract since its official launch in January 2011. The project
involves the delivery and installation of a complete Wall to Wall
plant adjacent to the existing factory for Wipasz in Poland, and
will be among the most valuable to be initiated in the European
poultry processing industry this year.
Wipasz, one of Poland's leading animal feed suppliers, first
diversified into poultry processing in 2010 with the acquisition of
a 5,000 bph (birds per hour) 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 2011-2013.
"Our commitment to the poultry processing industry is
demonstrated by our choice of state-of-the-art technology that will
put Wipasz on a level with Europe's top producers" says
Józef Wisniewski, CEO of Wipasz.
Meyn-Ishida combines the poultry processing expertise of Meyn
with the weighing, packing and end-of-line knowhow of Ishida to
offer a full range of integrated systems and equipment. The
alliance has already been awarded several high value international
contracts, including fully integrated plants in Russia (Valujki and
Tambov) and Chile (Ariztia).
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.
We at Meyn-Ishida are delighted that Wipasz has recognised that
our proposition currently offers the best wall-to-wall solutions in
the marketplace, delivering the highest yields and cutting giveaway
to the absolute minimum.
