A New Era in Premium Pet Food
We proudly announce the acquisition of one of Europe's largest and most renowned premium pet food production lines. This impressive line, specially designed for producing dry dog food, is now in our possession and ready for a new start.
Advanced Production Capacity
Our complete production line starts with the reception of fresh meat at the beginning of the production cycle. The meat is then processed, mixed, cooked, stored, shaped, post-treated, cooled, and finally packaged. With a processing capacity of approximately 22 tons per hour, this line promises outstanding efficiency and quality.
A Logistics Masterpiece
The disassembly of this production line was a logistical feat. Over a period of three months, no fewer than 30 trailers loaded with material were transported to our location, ready for reassembly and future use.
Reliability and Innovation
With leading brands such as Stephan, Karl Schnell, Wolfking, Florigo, and Rovema, our machinery ensures reliable performance and innovative technologies. These brands guarantee not only quality but also the highest standards of food safety and efficiency.
