History


Meyn was founded in Oostzaan, the Netherlands, in 1959 by Piet Meijn and Cor Koning. The poultry processing industry is deeply rooted in the region of Oostzaan, where the company developed its first machine to break eggs. It soon followed with the development of machinery to process poultry as a response to increasing local wages.
Following various earlier changes of ownership, Meyn was acquired by Altor Funds (Altor) in 2005. Under its new ownership, the company grew to become the world market leader in this sector, with a turnover of more than 200 million euros. They expanded their business to more than 90 countries and built factories in the United States and Poland. The share of new projects being sold to emerging markets rose substantially while the total workforce doubled from 500 to 1,000 people. In 2012, Altor reached an agreement with CTB, a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc, on the sale of Meyn to them. The acquisition was announced by CTB on May 4 of that year.
