Ambrosiadis Olympus Chickens S.A., with more than half a century of presence in the poultry sector and headquartered in Pieria, is among the leading poultry companies in Greece and is the first poultry enterprise in the country to operate privately owned poultry farms.
EVENTS
Ambrosiadis Olympus Chickens – The Fastest-Growing Company in Greece
The company participated with great success in the leading Food & Beverage Exhibition FOODEXPO 2023, held from March 18 to 20 at Metropolitan Expo in Athens, featuring an ultra-modern stand that attracted a large number of industry professionals. During the exhibition, the company presented its new innovative products, which received very positive feedback. The new product lines presented include:
A new range of pre-cooked frozen products (chicken gyros, chicken fillets, chicken strips, chicken schnitzel, chicken meatballs, chicken nuggets, chicken burgers, chicken cordon bleu),
A new complete range of breaded fresh pre-cooked products,
A new complete range of flavorful deli meats,
As well as a new line of premium chicken selections packaged in modified atmosphere, the fresh “Ambrosiadis Olympus Land Chickens.”
The company has consistently invested—and continues to invest—in modernization. It operates its own AMBROSIADIS FEED MILL, where a second production line with a capacity of 20 tons per hour is planned, along with storage facilities totaling 12,000 tons. At the same time, it is investing in the modernization of its industrial production facilities and in upgrading its existing quality control laboratory.
Investments are also being carried out at its privately owned poultry farms, with the implementation of 10 new poultry houses underway to boost production, aiming to cover 45–48% of the required volume through company-owned farms.
Finally, the company has invested significant capital in its poultry slaughterhouse, installing new chilling, packaging, and processing lines, continuously increasing its production capacity.
The company’s investments are guided by the principles of green development, aiming to reduce its environmental footprint. Specifically, it has invested in state-of-the-art facilities for the treatment of liquid and solid waste (biological treatment system) and fully complies with all modern recycling procedures in accordance with Greek legislation.
In August 2021, a thermal inactivation unit (Rendering) was successfully put into operation, producing high-quality products used by fish feed and pet food factories in both Greece and abroad. In addition, an investment in rooftop photovoltaic installations using the net metering system has been completed, covering 15% of the energy needs of the poultry slaughterhouse unit, while net metering has also been expanded to the company’s poultry farming units.
