From stun boxes to dehiders, and from leg transfer systems to bleeding lines, our systems focus on improving efficiency, animal welfare, and quality in the slaughter process.

Our stun boxes provide humane stunning with features such as dark colors, high walls, and silent systems to reduce stress in animals.
