Wipasz selects Meyn-Ishida for poultry processing project in Poland

Meyn-Ishida, the alliance dedicated to the sales of total poultry processing solutions, has 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, an animal feed supplier in Poland, 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.

It will then deliver and install Meyn-Ishida equipment for a new to build processing plant.

Both will be accomplished during 2011-2013.
