The company, part of Grupo Fuertes, has three major projects underway to which it will allocate 38 million euros

Procavi, a company integrated into Grupo Fuertes and leader in the production of turkey meat, will make significant investments over the next two years to expand and modernise its facilities, with three major projects to which it will allocate 38 million euros.

The company, which celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2022, is promoting a process of continuous improvement with various actions that, throughout this period, have totalled 200 million euros, aimed at increasing capacity, achieving maximum efficiency and competitiveness, and continuing to be a leading company in turkey meat production.

Among the projects already underway are the expansion and improvement of the facilities in Marchena, where the company is located, in the animal housing area, which will allow it to guarantee the best animal welfare conditions. These works, to which 5 million euros will be dedicated, will be extended successively to the other production phases.

The construction of the new feed factory in Sierra Yeguas will begin in 2023, with a two-year completion period and an investment of 30 million euros. This action, together with the modernisation of all machinery, will allow it to double the production capacity and achieve greater efficiency from an energy perspective. Another project is the construction of a new hatchery in Castillo de las Guardas, which will take a year and a half to complete with a budget of 3 million euros.

Procavi also continues to invest in R&D+i with the development of a feed, product quality improvement and conservation project. In 2022, it launched the OXIPAVO project in search of improving the oxidative quality of turkey meat, which aims to increase the shelf life of this food, both fresh and processed, preventing or delaying oxidation through various clean label strategies and the poultry’s feed.
