The facilities are situated in the south eastern part of the country, with headquarters in Mélykút.

They ordered new Petersime equipment, BioStreamer™ 12S and 4H plus HVAC, to extend their existing hatchery. The hatchery will start operating by the end of this year, thus increasing the yearly egg setting capacity up to 8.7 million.

Mr István Kiss, Managing Director of Bács Tak, attests: “We already have a very good experience with Petersime equipment in our current hatcheries.

"We have chosen to work with Petersime again, because we are convinced that they have the most experience with waterfowl incubation and there isn’t a better incubator for ducks as the BioStreamer™ together with the Embyro-Response Incubation™ technology.”

He continues to explain that a close follow up on his hatchery is very important. That is why they opted for the Operational Excellence Technology™ together with the Operational Excellence comfort package.

Petersime’s new Operational Excellence Programme™ assists hatcheries by providing support, both remote and on site, through best practices. Check out www.petersime.com/operationalexcellence to discover how Petersime can help maximise your return on investment.
