OSI Food Solutions Hungary has added a high-capacity production line and large cold storage area to its existing building in Bábolna, Hungary. The $25 million addition was completed earlier this year and has increased the production capacity of quality processed chicken products from 7,000 tons to 22,000 tons, annually.
This capacity-expanding project began at the start of the new millennium. With significant investment in 2001, the company began to focus on chicken meat products and, since 2004, its export share has increased from 15-20% of production to 90%.
“The goal of the present capacity development is to strengthen our position in the Central-Eastern-European region,” said Mr. György Erdélyi, managing director of OSI Food Solutions Hungary. “We will now produce the items formerly made at other European OSI plants in the Bábolna facility.”
