A remarkable story of success began in Soviet Latvia more than sixty years ago: In 1961, Alūksnes Poultry Farm was founded. Today, the company operates under the name APF Holdings (APF) and is one of the largest egg producers in the Baltic region – and on target for more growth. To this end, the Latvian holding recently signed a contract worth EUR 4 million with Big Dutchman. The German poultry equipment supplier will provide innovative technology for two new aviary houses for barn egg production in Alūksne, located near the border to Estonia.
We are proud of our customers
From family farms to commercial farms, we supply them all – anywhere in the world. For ten thousands of farmers Big Dutchman is THE supplier for poultry equipment of any kind. And it makes no difference whether the farm is raising ten thousand, twenty thousand, two hundred thousand or two million birds.
To us it is quality that matters, not only quantity. We always have a workable solution for any possible problem. And many of these have been successfully installed already.
Here you will find some concrete examples:
