VEIT Electronics

What VEIT Electronics does

VEIT Electronics, s.r.o., headquartered in Moravany, Czech Republic, is a privately held, family-owned manufacturer specializing in two niche product lines for the poultry industry: specialized day-old chick transport vehicles built into truck chassis, and electronic poultry weighing scales sold under the BAT brand. The vehicle line centers on proprietary EcoTransport technology, which the company claims reduces fuel consumption by 20% while improving safety, supported by a second-generation 3D airflow ventilation system co-developed with a Technical University. The scales line comprises the manual BAT1 (1-gram accuracy, portable, battery-driven), the automatic BAT2 and BAT2 Duo (continuous 24/7 in-house weighing with auto dirt-compensation algorithms), and the BAT2 Connect (GSM-tethered wireless telemetry), all networked via RS485/Modbus and managed by proprietary BAT software that produces growth curves, flock comparisons, uniformity statistics, and histograms. Firmware development on BAT2 Connect remains active, with three releases between February 2025 and January 2026.

The company monetizes primarily through hardware sales (vehicles and scales), supplemented by one-time software licenses for BAT Software. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; sales are conducted via customized quotes, an inquiry-based website, and demo-truck lending programs. Go-to-market is sales-led and primarily direct, augmented by regional sales managers (e.g., Svatopluk Žák for vehicles, Gerrit Polman for Western Europe), authorized service partners such as Ingeniería Automotriz Hernández Hermanos, distributors in 70+ countries, and a wholly-owned North American subsidiary (Veit North America). Customer logos include major poultry breeders Cobb USA and Aviagen, and the firm explicitly states that 'all the biggest players' use VEIT scales. Headcount is approximately 60 employees, revenue is undisclosed, and ownership remains concentrated in the Veit family (Milan Veit as founder and director, Petr Veit as co-director representing the second generation).

Others

• Mettler Toledo: Global leader in industrial weighing and measurement instrumentation. Adjacent to VEIT's weighing business as a much larger, multi-vertical scale and instrument manufacturer; relevant for benchmarking industrial-scale economics rather than direct competition.
• Cardinal Scale Manufacturing: US-based industrial-scale manufacturer serving agriculture, food, and industrial markets. Adjacent to VEIT's poultry-scale business as a broader industrial-scale competitor rather than a direct poultry-specialist peer.

Emerging players

• Hotraco: Dutch provider of automation and climate-control solutions for poultry houses. Adjacent/specialized poultry-equipment peer with a focus on monitoring and control that parallels VEIT's automation strategy.
