New Manufacturing Halls and Offices for Meyn Polska<br />
Meyn Food Processing Technology B.V.<br />
A total of 10375 sqm of<br />
production space and nearly<br />
2000 sqm of office building<br />
was officially handed over<br />
to Meyn Polska on 13 June<br />
2017. The company, based<br />
in Lebork / Pomerania since<br />
1996, has been part of Meyn<br />
Food Processing Technology<br />
BV since 2007. Meyn is one of the world 's largest manufacturers of poultry<br />
processing solutions. The Polish facilities specialize in the manufacture of<br />
machinery for live bird arrival systems, as well as parts and accessories for<br />
other equipment that are later assembled at Meyn's Dutch headquarters.<br />
The expansion project was<br />
delivered on time and within<br />
budget, taking just eleven months<br />
from start to finish. From an initial<br />
6000 m 2 of manufacturing footprint,<br />
Meyn is proud to have developed into<br />
one of the region's largest and most<br />
important employers.<br />
"Following this extension we are<br />
ready for the future," commented<br />
Dariusz Karaś, Managing Director of<br />
Meyn Poland. "The new halls are not<br />
yet equipped to their full production<br />
capacity, but much of the machinery<br />
is already in place. We still have plans<br />
to expand our portfolio and integrate<br />
test systems for our machines. The<br />
poultry industry is still growing<br />
strongly, and we are growing with it<br />
while setting ambitious future goals. "<br />
The new production space was<br />
officially opened at a ribbon-cutting<br />
ceremony that took place at exactly<br />
1:16 pm in the presence of Victor<br />
A. Mancinelli, Chairman and CEO of<br />
the US parent company CTB, Inc.,<br />
Mrs. Joanna Wolska, Global Director<br />
Marketing and Product Management<br />
and Dariusz Karaś. The ceremony<br />
was performed to the applause of<br />
visitors from the Dutch headquarters<br />
and all staff from Meyn Poland.<br />
On the Saturday before the opening,<br />
a Family Day was held so that the<br />
proud owners could present the<br />
new facilities to family members<br />
and friends. On 12 June, Meyn's<br />
suppliers had the opportunity to<br />
inspect and celebrate the new<br />
development. The official opening<br />
on 13 June was reserved for<br />
Meyn's customers, who attended<br />
in large numbers to witness Meyn<br />
take this important step into the<br />
future, Customers also took the<br />
