SPAR Hungary Acquires ZIMBO Meat Processing Plant

SPAR Hungary Ltd. has purchased the plant of ZIMBO Perbál Húsipari Termelő Kft. ('Meat Industry Production Ltd.'). Following the successful completion of the transaction, the company will further modernize the meat plant, which opened in 1998 in Perbál, just west of Budapest.

“The most important goal of SPAR is to deliver quality products from controlled raw materials - as much as possible from Hungary - to the table of customers. Our purpose is the same in the fresh meat and meat products segment, where we can continuously adapt the production to changes in 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 expanded with the Perbál plant, a tested, high-capacity, high-quality unit, which is now in the ownership of our group, which further strengthens our position in the domestic meat market," the Managing Director of SPAR Hungary, Gabriella Heiszler is quoted in the company's press release

The Perbál plant, with some 200 employees. 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 Perbál 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, lust like 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.
