Poultry firm invests R70m in processing plant, support services
Poultry producer Sovereign Foods, formally known as Rocklands Poultry, has made a multimillion-rand invest- ment in its processing plant and support services, creating the capacity to process up to 60-million birds a year, almost doubling the number of jobs sustained by its Uitenhage factory and surrounding farms.
The investment of nearly R700-million over the past three years in the processing plant, farms and the hatchery has seen the installation of one of the fastest processing lines in the world, Sovereign Foods CEO Mike Davis says. The equipment was supplied by German company Stork Food Systems, and can process up to 12 000 birds an hour.
