SPAR is strengthening the Hungarian meat market with another plant
“The most important goal of SPAR is to deliver quality products from controlled raw materials - as many local as possible - to the customers' tables. This is no different in the fresh meat and meat products segment, where we can continuously adapt the production of our products to the changes of consumer needs through our own Regnum Meat Factory in Bicske. Due to increased demand in the recent period, we have decided to expand our production capacity. The SPAR Group has been expanded with a high-capacity, high-quality unit, which further strengthens our position in the domestic meat market, ”said Gabriella Heiszler, Managing Director of SPAR Magyarország Kereskedelmi Kft.
The Perbál plant will be called Regnum Meat Factory Perbál in the future. The products manufactured here will be available in SPAR's own network and in all franchise stores, and the production processes of the Perbal plant will be coordinated with the activities of the Bicske meat factory. Several major improvements will be made to the new plant in the near future, including the modernization of cooling technology. From a quality management point of view, as in the existing plant, the processes in Perbál will be operated according to the ISO 22 000 system: the planned date for obtaining the certification is the next two years.
“The Perbal plant will continue to operate in SPAR’s food production business from 2 November. Our product range is constantly expanding and by the end of the year, the first SPAR products will arrive from Perbál to the entire SPAR network. The approximately 200 employees working here will be able to continue working, now within the SPAR Group. Together with them, the SPAR team in the food production business will be strengthened by about 600 professionals. With the expansion, our own branded product range will become larger and the Hungarian product range will be strengthened. Last year, we produced 40,000 tons of meat products, and from 2021 our capacity will increase significantly, ”added Ferenc Horváth, the food industry manager of SPAR Magyarország Kereskedelmi Kft.
