Commissioning a new processing facility for animal by-products in Belarus.
SARIA Bio-Industries Belarus in Bereza
2009-03-19,
Bereza, a medium-sized town with some 30,000 inhabitants, is situated approximately 100 km to the east of Brest (on the border between Poland and Belarus) on the E30 motorway, which runs from Warsaw to Moscow via Minsk. On 8 August a new SARIA processing facility for animal by-products came on stream here on a greenfield site.
The Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the RETHMANN Group, Norbert Rethmann, cut the red ribbon to officially open the plant at a ceremony attended by members of the Belarus Chamber of Representatives, representatives of regional government, the local authorities, the German embassy and some 150 guests.
In his speech, Rethmann emphasised that based on SARIA’s decades of experience the company would be seeking to operate a plant here that meets European standards and which provides an optimum service for agricultural and abattoir operations. The company has invested 15 million euros in Bereza and already provides jobs for 40 committed employees. During the next year the plant will reach its processing capacity of up to 40,000 tonnes per year, creating around 70 jobs in total.
All speakers expressed themselves delighted with the impressive facility and confident of a successful future.
