San Miguel awards new supplier contract to Hybro for PG+ Grandparents - THE NETHERLANDS - Market-leading San Miguel Corporation, the largest poultry integration in the Philippines, has awarded a new supplier contract to Hybro BV for the supply of Hybro PG+ GPS flocks commencing this year.

The new contract was signed on April 5th and signifies another important step for Hybro in achieving significant growth in the region.

The Dutch broiler breeding company has made no secret of its ambitions in Asia, and Hybro general manager Richard Maatman confirmed that the decision from San Miguel was 'pivotal' in speeding up Hybro's bid for increased market share.

Trial flocks of Hybro's PG+ breeders and broilers were placed with San Miguel last year. The new contract comes as a direct result of performance results gained over this last year. San Miguel will take delivery of its Hybro PG+ grandparent birds on 29 June 2005.

"We have continued to work very hard in Asia, "said Maatman, "and I must pay tribute to the work of area manager Vladimir Walk and his team here.

"Our enhanced product portfolio is delivering excellent results for our customers throughout the region, and by living up to the first-class technical service provided by the Asian team, we can see very clearly that this combination is having a significant impact for Hybro in Asia."
