Optibrut GmbH  

In August 2016  the realization of  Optibrut GmbH started. Optibrut is an entirely new concept – a modern, transparent, early-feeding hatchery with, at its heart, HatchCare, the only proven hatcher with light, feed and water.  The grand opening of the first transparent HatchCare Centre worldwide will be in November 2017.  The HatchCare Centre will produce 1.6 milion day-old chicks a week  at full capacity and is located in Nordhorn (Germany).
