Dutch Royal De Heus opens new plant in Sabac – EUR 3 million invested in production of animal feed

The Dutch company Royal De Heus opened a new production facility in the location FSH De Heus in Sabac on Thursday, December 14, 2017.

With this expansion, the existing factory’s capacities have been increased by 50%, and, as the company announced, the investment, worth EUR 3 million, is only the first phase of De Heus’ strategic plan of development and strengthening of the position in the Serbian market.

For more than a year and a half, De Heus has been producing animal feed for the Serbian market in the plant in Sabac. In this period, the demand for high-quality food has grown considerably and the production capacities of the existing plant have consequently reached their maximum.

The new facility contains a line for pelletizing animal feed, which enables a considerable increase in pelletizing capacities. A new automatic line for packing finished products has also been installed. The plant also has a station for bulk loading of finished products, including a high-precision weighbridge and silo units for the storage of finished products, helping increase the efficiency of the product delivery to professional farms.

– The need to invest in a new plant points to the fact that the market of Serbia has recognized the quality of the products and services we offer. This way, we help farmers increase their productivity and optimize their business results. In us, they see a stable partner which helps them progress – said Nebojsa Cipcija, Director General of De Heus Sabac.

According to him, De Heus will not stop there. The construction of another production facility in the same location is therefore planned for the next year as part of the second phase of strategic development plans.

Royal De Heus was founded in 1911 and is one of the biggest producers in the animal feed industry. The company has over 4,500 employees globally, and its seat is located in the Dutch city of Ede.
