What Poultry Business Solutions LLC does

Innovative Poultry Solutions, LLC (operating under Poultry Business Solutions LLC) is a privately held equipment manufacturer founded in 2014 and headquartered in College Station, Texas. The company designs and sells the HP-UV Egg Sanitizer™, an automated egg sanitization system that mists eggs with a dilute hydrogen peroxide solution before exposing them to UV light to generate hydroxyl radicals that eliminate microorganisms on eggshell surfaces. The technology is patent-pending and is the product of more than ten years of research and development led by President Craig Coufal, Ph.D., who has been on the Texas A&M University Department of Poultry Science faculty since 2008.

The HP-UV Egg Sanitizer is delivered as a custom-built, modular system comprising an Egg Sanitizing Module plus optional In-feed, Out-feed, and Dryer Modules that can be configured to customer-specific space, volume, and process requirements. Manufacturing is outsourced to a local engineering and manufacturing partner in College Station. The primary customer segment is commercial poultry hatcheries and breeder farms seeking to reduce contamination on hatching eggs; a secondary segment is commercial table egg producers.

Revenue is generated through one-time custom equipment sales at quote-based pricing, with each unit accompanied by on-site installation and training. The go-to-market motion is consultative direct sales led personally by Craig Coufal, supported by a content-driven website, opt-in email newsletter, and free initial consultation. The company is founder-owned, has not raised external institutional capital, operates with fewer than ten employees, and currently serves only the U.S. market.

Core offering

Innovative Poultry Solutions (Poultry Business Solutions LLC) designs, manufactures, and installs the HP-UV Egg Sanitizer™, an automated, custom-built egg sanitization system for the poultry industry. Eggs pass through a spray chamber with a dilute hydrogen peroxide solution and then a UV light chamber where hydroxyl radicals are generated to eliminate bacteria, fungi, molds, and yeasts on eggshells. The equipment is modular and tailored to each customer's operational space, egg quantity, and egg handling process, and is targeted at commercial hatcheries, breeder farms, and table egg producers.

Product overview

Innovative Poultry Solutions offers a single flagship product—the HP-UV Egg Sanitizer™—which is an automated egg sanitization system. The system is built using a modular architecture consisting of the core Egg Sanitizing Module plus optional In-feed, Out-feed, and Dryer Modules. All modules are custom-built in the United States to accommodate specific operational spaces, egg quantities, and egg handling processes. The sanitizer uses a combination of hydrogen peroxide misting and UV light exposure to eliminate microorganisms on eggshells, targeting hatching eggs, table eggs, and SPF eggs.
