Headquartered in Szentes, Hungerit Zrt. is one of Hungary’s oldest meat industry firms, with over 100 years of experience in poultry processing and meat production. The company processes approximately 22 million broiler chickens and 11 million ducks annually, producing 70,000 tons of meat products. Its flagship brand, VALDOR, offers primarily processed and breaded, ready-to-cook products to both domestic and international markets.

The greenfield investment will result in a state-of-the-art chicken processing plant equipped with innovative technologies. Located in the Szentes Industrial Park, production is expected to commence in the second half of 2026, doubling the company’s annual poultry processing capacity to 44 million birds per year.
