TRANZIT GROUP
Being the owner of the Goldenfood brand, Tranzit Group was launched as a family-run business under the name Tranzit-Ker Zrt. (Plc.) in 1990. The company was growing to a group in the past 25 years and has remained a 100 percent family-owned business. In addition to certain crop production, the company is predominantly engaged in waterfowl - duck and goose - breeding. Its core business activities include the complete integration and processing of waterfowl ranging from breeding, hatching, feed mixing, raising, slaughtering, processing and sales.
As a result of constant developments and the rapid integration of international methods and experiences, and subject to a high-level compliance with the criteria of food hygiene and animal welfare, Tranzit Group has grown to a major player of the sector by now. It owns a 60 per cent share in the volume of meat-type goose production and has been a leader in the production of ducks in Hungary. Tranzit Group has been profitable ever since its establishment, and it continues reinvesting into further developments. The company’s annual sales amount to ca. HUF 20 billion.
With a view to cover the ever increasing export request and satisfy market demand, nevertheless, to also maintain long-term partnerships, early 2015, the company decided to increase production capacity.
Within the Group, Tranzit-Ker zRt., a subsidiary of Tranzit Group, takes the agricultural spectrum of the business. Tranzit-Ker zRt. is the proprietor and operator of a hatchery, a feed mixer, the annual capacity of which already approximates to 150,000 tons as a result of the latest large-scale investments and more than 50 poultry farms that have also been extended by a total floor of 100,000 square metres of poultry stalls. Meat processing is undertaken by Tranzit-Food Kft. (Ltd.), an integrated producer and distributor of goose and duck products.
