About us
For 20 years, we have been present on the Polish and international market, producing carcasses and poultry meat elements from light hens and roosters.
Who we are
We are a modern poultry plant specializing in the slaughter of broth hens and roosters, as well as their freezing and packaging. We use our own transport to collect livestock in Poland and Europe, and we export frozen products from hens and roosters to recipients from all over the world.
Our mission
MERDA Poultry Plant’s main focus is to provide customers with excellent quality and the highest level of product safety. It is achieved by precise control at every stage of production and HACCP system, enabling quick identification of potential risks.
As a modern company, we also have a BIO certificate, which gives us the right to produce ecological products.
Our history
The MERDA Poultry Plant is a true family business. The company was established in 2001, relying on years of tradition and experience of poultry slaughterhouse, which was founded in 1990 by Mr Florian Merda.
We thoroughly analyse trends and adapt our business to the evolving needs of the market. With EU funding, we have modernised and expanded our technology park, adding state-of-the-art machinery and equipment. The high storage warehouse for frozen goods has been equipped with an IT system for efficient management of work, and portable radio terminals ensure reliable control of the cold store. Moreover, sliding racks are an additional convenience, providing free access to each pallet space.
In 2022, we modernized the technological line by automating the evisceration process and implementing an automatic carcass weight sorting line. In addition, we have expanded the carcass cooling line.
The above activities allowed us to increase production efficiency from 3,000 to 8,000 pieces of light hens and roosters per hour. In addition, the safety and quality of production have increased significantly.
We have invested into a modern fleet of specialised vehicles for livestock transportation (with a watering system mounted in trailers) and the safe transportation of finished products – both fresh and frozen. The company has its own blast freezers and cold stores. Additionally, air cooling technology allows us to freeze meat without the use of water. Moreover, for the proper packaging of products, we use solid cardboard.
The entire production process is under our full control – from the moment the livestock is collected to the delivery of the products to the destination site. This guarantees that the cold chain is not interrupted and ensures the meat’s excellent quality.
Currently, the MERDA Poultry Plant employs 84 workers, and the production capacity is estimated at 8.000 light hens per hour, which makes it possible to slaughter 64.000 hens and roosters per day. Our main customers are trading companies and meat processing enterprises at home and abroad. We export products to the European Union countries, Africa and Asia.
Years of experience and commitment to the proper production process are evidenced by a continually growing number of satisfied customers and numerous awards and distinctions.
