Petersime has launched a notable turnkey broiler hatchery project in partnership with Chinese poultry company Shaanxi Haobang Foods. All equipment is delivered from Europe to the Chinese city of Xi’an by rail freight transport. Railroads were chosen because of higher flexibility and faster delivery as a result of shorter transit times from Petersime’s facilities over Xi’an train station. Additionally, it was the most economical way of transport for the customer, which made it a win-win situation for both Shaanxi Haobang and Petersime. To celebrate the arrival of the first batch of equipment, Shaanxi Haobang Foods organised a pick-up ceremony together with Petersime at Xi’an station (see image).

The installation of the new hatchery in Xi’an started at the end of 2020. When complete, Shaanxi Haobang Foods’ turnkey project will be equipped with 18 BioStreamer™ High Density (HD) setters and 9 BioStreamer™ HD hatchers, all operated by Operational Excellence Technology™. It also includes Petersime’s Eagle Eye™ and Hatchery Alert System™ for consistent real-time monitoring of the hatchery, and a custom-made HVAC installation. Chairman of Shaanxi Haobang Foods, Mr Han Chun Yuan, commented: “Providing consumers with safe, nutritious and delicious Haobang food is our corporate spirit. I am honoured to cooperate with Petersime to build Shaanxi Haobang Foods’ first broiler hatchery. Focus on product quality and providing customers with quality services is our common goal.”
