Eurofarma

What Eurofarma does

Eurofarma is a vertically integrated Greek poultry genetics and feed producer operating through two related Anonymi Etairia entities — EUROFARMA A.E. (founded 1972, headquartered in Corinth) and ORNIS A.E. (founded 2000, Fichtia, Argolida) — under the combined brand EUROFARMA & ORNIS. The company produces day-old layer chicks (brown and white), day-old broiler chicks (Ross 308, Cobb 500 white broilers, and Hubbard-colored breeds for organic/free-range), hatching eggs, layer pullets reared to 15–17 weeks, and animal feed from its own automated HACCP-certified feed mill modernized in 2016. ORNIS additionally produces organo-humic compost/soil conditioner from pullet and breeder-flock waste, with annual output of 1,000–1,500 tons.

The underlying production platform spans parent flock breeder houses across multiple sites in the Corinth prefecture, a hatchery performing incubation with Marek vaccination, a fully automated feed mill, and ORNIS's four pullet-rearing buildings using both cage equipment and a converted aviary system, with combined capacity of approximately 750,000 pullets per year. Chicks and pullets are distributed to customers in Greece and Balkan countries via company-owned vehicles with controlled temperature and humidity environments.

Eurofarma sells directly to commercial egg-production farms, broiler meat producers, organic and free-range poultry operators, and (for compost) agricultural cultivators. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, but revenue mechanics are transactional per-unit sales across multiple product lines, with no disclosed subscription, licensing, or anchor-contract structure. The company is privately held, has no external funding rounds, no PE/VC involvement, and operates with 11–50 employees.

Core offering

Eurofarma (EUROFARMA A.E.) is engaged in poultry farming since 1972. Its core business is the production and sale of one-day-old layer and broiler chicks, hatching eggs, and animal feed from its own automated feed mill. The affiliated entity ORNIS A.E. rears one-day layer chicks into 15-17 week pullets for organized egg production units and produces organo-humic soil conditioner compost from pullet waste. Chicks are distributed throughout Greece and Balkan countries at one day of age via controlled-environment transport vehicles.

Product overview

Eurofarma (EUROFARMA A.E.) and its subsidiary ORNIS A.E. form a vertically integrated poultry farming operation established in 1972. The core product portfolio centers on day-old chicks for both egg production (brown and white layers) and meat production (white broilers using Ross 308 and Cobb 500 breeds; colored broilers for organic/free-range using Hubbard genetics). ORNIS specializes in rearing layer pullets from day-old chicks to 15-17 weeks of age for sale to organized egg production units. Supporting products include a modernized feed mill (2016) producing high-quality animal feed, hatching eggs, and organo-humic compost/soil conditioner from pullet and breeder flock waste. Quality assurance includes Marek vaccination for chicks and HACCP standards for feed production.

Products and services

• One-Day-Old Layer Chicks (Brown and White) One-day-old brown and white layer chicks hatched in Eurofarma's own hatchery from eggs produced by layer breeders in the company's facilities. Quality is ensured by trained personnel and veterinarians, with Marek vaccination applied during incubation. Targeted at organized egg production farms in Greece and Balkan countries.
• One-Day-Old Broiler Chicks (Ross 308 and Cobb 500) One-day-old broiler chicks produced from Ross 308 and Cobb 500 breeding stock for meat production, distributed throughout Greece and Balkan countries at one day of age using controlled-environment transport vehicles. Targeted at broiler meat producers.
• Colored Broiler Chicks for Organic Production One-day-old colored broiler chicks from Hubbard breeds (RedBro, Colorpac, Master Grey) suitable for organic and free-range poultry meat producers, including backyard operations. Slower-growing breeds adapted to lower energy and protein nutritional standards required in organic/free-range production.
• Layer Pullets (15-17 weeks) ORNIS A.E. receives day-old layer chicks from Eurofarma and rears them in cage and alternative (aviary) equipped facilities until 15-17 weeks of age, delivering healthy ready-to-lay pullets to organized egg production units in Greece and Balkan countries. Annual capacity is approximately 750,000 pullets.
• Animal Feed High-quality animal feed produced in Eurofarma's own fully automated feed mill (modernized in 2016) under HACCP quality assurance standards. Supplied to layer and broiler farms and other productive animals (goats, sheep, fattening livestock). Since 2016, feed is sold not only for the company's own needs but also to external customers.
• Compost and Soil Conditioner Organo-humic soil conditioner produced by ORNIS from processing of pullet waste, and organic composted soil conditioner produced by Eurofarma from natural processing of manure from floor breeder flocks. Distributed in the Greek market with annual production exceeding 1,000 tons (and up to 1,500 tons combined organic and conventional).
• Hatching Eggs Hatching eggs produced by Eurofarma's parent flocks in the company's facilities, intended for incubation and hatching in its own hatchery and for sale to customers.

Direct peers

• Aviagen: Global broiler breeding company producing grandparent and parent stock chicks (Ross 308, among others) that Eurofarma uses and operates at the same downstream layer of the value chain as parent-stock-to-commercial-chick producers.
• Cobb-Vantress: Major broiler genetics supplier (Cobb 500), directly comparable to Eurofarma's broiler chick offering and competing for the same commercial-meat-producer customers.
• Hubbard: Supplies the slower-growing colored broiler breeds (RedBro, Colorpac, Master Grey) that Eurofarma already distributes for organic and free-range production, making it both a supplier and an adjacent competitor in the colored-broiler segment.
• Hendrix Genetics: Multi-species poultry genetics company with layer and broiler breeding operations; competes with Eurofarma at the parent-stock level and supplies genetic lines to commercial hatcheries serving similar egg and meat producers.
• Lohmann Tierzucht: Global layer-breeding company (LOHMANN Brown, LSL-Lite, etc.) at the same node of the value chain as Eurofarma's layer chick and pullet business, serving commercial egg producers in Europe and beyond.
• Hy-Line International: World's largest layer genetics company; competes at the parent-stock and commercial-chick layer for Eurofarma's brown and white layer chick and pullet offerings.
• H&N International: Layer genetics supplier (Nick Chick, Super Nick, Brown Nick) targeting the same commercial egg producers that buy Eurofarma's day-old layer chicks and 15-17 week pullets.

Regional players

• PINDOS: One of the largest vertically integrated poultry producers in Greece, with overlapping exposure to broiler and layer chick supply plus downstream meat and egg production in the same Greek market as Eurofarma.

Others

• Petersime: Supplies incubation and hatchery equipment used by poultry hatcheries globally; adjacent to Eurofarma because the company's primary differentiation rests on its own hatchery infrastructure and incubation technology.
