9 September 2013, Monday
The first in Russia plant of German corporate group Saria on recovery of meat processing wastes was opened on the territory of the special economic zone “Alabuga”. The President of the Republic of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov, founder of the holding Norbert Retmann, Director General of the company “Saria Bio-Industries” Manfred Gellner, heads of ministries and authorities of the Republic of Tatarstan took part in the solemn ceremony of the plant opening.
The plant on production of animal protein “Saria Bio-Industries Volga” was opened on the territory of special economic zone “Alabuga” in 2011 and became the first plant of Saria corporate group in Russia. The new company will process raw materials of animal origin for the purposes of their recovery and obtainment of two main products – feed flour and two types of animal fat – technical and feeding fat. Radius for collection of raw materials up to 1000 km presupposes coverage of almost the whole territory of Volga Federal District.
Plant activity promotes enhancement of ecological safety, since these are the wastes of animal and poultry production that haven’t been recovered earlier and put serious ecological burden on the territory of the whole region, but which will be now used as raw materials. Raw materials will be accumulated in special-purpose containers, installed at meat processing plants, and then they will be removed subject to all veterinary and sanitary norms. Simultaneously, in order to guarantee continuous operation, full containers will be exchanged for empty ones. The first such container will be installed in Saba district of Tatarstan.
Honorable guests planted trees in front of the plant, and after that they took a tour around the plant checking the process of production itself, as well as special cars, equipped for waste collection.
Group of companies Saria is presented around the world in various fields: companies of the group produce high-quality fodder, agricultural and industrial products, as well as aquaculture products. Moreover, Saria produces alternative types of fuel and renders services for agricultural and food industry sectors. The company owns more than 50 processing plants, located in Germany, France, Poland, Austria, Czech Republic, Spain and Belarus.
