Unifortes and Giordano endeavour to ensure a cost effective clean and automated poultry production process

Improving hygiene, bio-security, food quality and food safety in the poultry industry, in a sustainable way, are the main goals for Unifortes. Giordano shares these mutual goals with Unifortes.

Unifortes is a worldwide accomplished company, based in the Netherlands. The company provides sustainable solutions in industrial washing and robotization for the poultry industry. These products include washing machines for eggs, egg trays, pallets and dividers and a variety of other related products. Also robot automation solutions, such as robot palletizers and robot de-palletizers, are provided by Unifortes.

Carlos de Magalhaes founded the company in 2010, after an extensive career in the agricultural/poultry sector. The initial contact between Carlos and Giordano took place in 2008 and from there on, the relationship between both parties has only improved!

A mix of solutions, used worldwide

Unifortes’ solutions are used by numerous companies in more than 40 countries, all over the World, making Unifortes a recognized and important player in the global poultry industry.

Carlos mentions that cost-effectiveness and customer satisfaction are key to Unifortes: “We want to offer our customers the optimal and most cost-effective solution. Therefore we work with them directly. First to define the solution that best suits their specific requirements, then to support them to get the maximum and best results from their new equipment. For this purpose we provide detailed documentation and technical support.

The solutions that are provided by Unifortes work together seamlessly with Giordano’s EggsCargoSystem® (ECS). All of the ECS components are easily handled and cleaned by Unifortes’ solutions: from trays to pallets and dividers. Together, the solutions form an all-in-one system for egg producers and processors worldwide.

Perfect cooperation is based on mutual goals

The solutions that Unifortes offers match the EggsCargoSystem®, but can be integrated with egg handling solutions from other parties as well. Still, Carlos indicates that over 90% of the Unifortes customers use the ECS.

“Our customers keep coming back to Unifortes, so I can only assume that they are happy with our products as well as the ECS!”

For many professionals in the industry, the combination of the EggsCargoSystem® and Unifortes’ solutions is key to their production process. This is no coincidence: Unifortes and Giordano have been cooperating since 2010, making sure that the solutions are a great match. Over the years, the cooperation has intensified.

“I feel that the cooperation between Giordano and Unifortes is very much perfect. It is based on an open, sincere and positive approach. Both companies want the same thing: providing the most cost-effective solutions to the poultry industry worldwide. Sustainability is an important theme for Giordano and for Unifortes: the solutions we provide require a very limited number of operators and use as little water and energy as possible,” states Carlos.

Standardised products provide optimal performance

Trays, dividers, pallets and other components follow standardised guidelines regarding dimensions. For Unifortes, it is a major benefit that the components of the ECS maintain these technical specifications. This way, the optimal performance and compatibility between products is guaranteed .

“The introduction of the EggsCargoSystem® was a breakthrough in the poultry industry. It introduced a cost-effective way of handling and packing eggs. Due to its standardisation the ECS allows the process of handling eggs, egg grading and egg packaging to be automated.

Unifortes and Giordano

Unifortes’ products and Giordano’s EggsCargoSystem® perfectly complement each other.

When you use components such as Giordano’s egg trays, dividers and pallets, you want to use and re-use them as efficiently as possible.

To ensure a hygienic way of working, which is an absolute prerequisite in the food industry, it is vital that every component is perfectly clean. This is where the industrial washing solutions from Unifortes come in: they form a perfect addition to the ECS.
