In response to the rising demand for high quality poultry products, Norsk Kylling, owned by REMA 1000, is going to build a whole new poultry processing plant in Orkanger, Norway. The plant will be innovative in energy use and sustainability and will be the start of an industry cluster in the area with a total investment of €185 million. Now, Norsk Kylling has signed contracts with Cabinplant and Meyn for the procurement of processing equipment.
Norsk Kylling has undergone a major transformation. In recent years, their business has become far more sustainable and delivers top quality products to customers across Norway. Animal welfare has been given the highest priority by converting to the chicken breed Hubbard, focusing on expertise and investments in operation and technology for high animal welfare.
“High-end equipment with high degree of automation ensures that we can also offer customers high quality products at a low cost, manufactured in a responsible manner. We have prioritised animal welfare in the selection of technology for processing chickens”, says CEO of Norsk Kylling, Kjell Stokbakken.
Meyn, the market leader in poultry processing, is well known for its reliable equipment at high processing speeds. Cabinplant is one of the world leaders in development of further processing technology for poultry, and delivers handling, processing, weighing and packing solutions for a variety of industries. Both companies are owned by CTB, a subsidiary of the Berkshire Hathaway company.
