About GEPRO

Since 1965, GEPRO Geflügel-Protein Vertriebsgesellschaft mbH & Co. KG has specialised in the development, production and distribution of poultry proteins and fats. Only Category III poultry raw material is processed. The processes include spray drying, the wet-rendering process and production in the low-temperature range with gentle heating and sterilisation. The products serve as a highly digestible protein source in pet food and aquaculture, as well as a raw material for pig nutrition, the biofuel industry and oleochemistry. As part of the PHW Group, GEPRO is an element of a fully integrated poultry production operation and therefore offers a high level of documentation and traceability along the entire value chain. The headquarters are located in Diepholz (Lower Saxony) on around 50,000 m²; in 2018 a further plant in Bogen (Lower Bavaria) was commissioned, which is directly integrated into the Wiesenhof slaughterhouse DONAUTAL. Delivery takes place worldwide, with international shipping via a warehouse at the Weser port in Bremen.

Raw Materials and Processes

Kat. III

Category III poultry slaughter by-products

Exclusively used raw material for in-house production of meals and fats.

Spray drying

Gentle drying process at low product temperatures with high digestibility and high protein quality.

NSV

Wet-rendering process

Early separation of the raw material for gentle further processing; best fat quality and low free fatty acid content.

NTB

Low-temperature-range production

Gentle heating and sterilisation, positive for digestibility and without quality losses in fat and meal.
