According to Josera, the nearly 40,000 m2 factory is one of the most modern animal feed production facilities in Europe: it is equipped with production processes, automation and quality control systems, an in-house research laboratory, and an integrated logistics management system supported by artificial intelligence. “We are delighted that our company is continuing to grow dynamically with the new plant and that we are thus opening up new markets in Central and Eastern Europe,” explains Stephan Hoose, CEO of Josera petfood and member of the Leadership Board Sales and Markets at Erbacher the food family.

The new location is strategically positioned for international expansion in the animal feed sector: The advanced technologies are designed to improve production processes and significantly increase production capacity.

In the future, products for all brands will be manufactured at the new factory near Poznan – with further expansion potential.
