Atria & Petersime Team Up for Major Hatchery Upgrade
FINLAND - One of the leading Finnish food processing companies, Atria PLC, has recently decided to substantially upgrade and expand its broiler hatchery located in Seinäjoki, Finland. Petersime will be supplying S-line BioStreamer incubators as well as a brand new HVAC system.
The entire upgrading and expansion
project is aimed at a final setting
capacity of 40 million hatching eggs
per year, with the possibility to add
machines in the same building for
an extra capacity of 6 million eggs
per year. In four phases, Atria will be
replacing all of its current incubation
equipment with 23 BioStreamer™
setters and 19 BioStreamer™ hatchers.
They also purchased a new Petersime
HVAC system. Atria will continue
producing day-old chicks during the
entire project.
The Petersime Project department
will closely follow up all four phases.
Moreover, Atria signed up for the Petersime
Hatchery Guidance ProgrammePLUS,
so as to have the upgraded
hatchery fully operational within the
shortest possible period of time.
Completion of the final phase of the
project is planned in March 2013.
“Continuing to produce day-old chicks
while the incubators are gradually being
replaced will be quite a challenge.
However, we have great confidence in
Petersime’s experience and know-how,”
explains Mr Harri Rosenberg, Project
Manager at Atria.
