New state-of-the-art hatchery for Bingo in Bosnia

Bingo, Bosnia’s largest supermarket chain, has launched a new, state-of-the-art layer hatchery near the northeastern town of Kalesija.

The installation by Royal Pas Reform, in cooperation with Mrs. Biljana Tomic from its long-term Balkan agent, Iradia, features SmartPro™ single-stage incubation. This includes 12 SmartSetPro™ setters, 8 SmartHatchPro™ hatchers, hatchery automation and HVAC. Bingo aims to produce 2.4 million laying hens per year.

With its headquarters in Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bingo Export-Import Tuzla d.o.o. aims to become a leader in table egg production. In addition, Bingo also exports its products to the countries of Central European Free Trade Agreement (CEFTA) and now plans to start exports to the EU as well.

Irfan Hasanovic, the hatchery manager of Bingo says: “Our mission is to preserve our reputation as the most modern center for egg production in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Using single-stage incubation greatly contributes to the results, in terms of hatchability and chick quality, and we are receiving very positive feedback from our customers.”

Niels Stam, Royal Pas Reform’s Sales Director for Eastern Europe comments: “Royal Pas Reform is delighted to have won this contract with Bingo. We look forward to continuing to work with Bingo to help its team achieve its plans for further growth and development.”
