Project of PZP Merlin s.r.o.
Implementation: 2018–2020
Project name:
Modernization of the company’s production premises

Measures: 4.2.1.b Processing and marketing of agricultural products
Co-financed by the European Union

Main objective of the project/operation
Implementation of the project by the applicant will result in the acquisition of the following equipment:

The applicant’s new dispatch warehouse with a travel racking system and efficient freezer technology. Thanks to the travel racking systems, storage capacity will be used to the maximum.

The electric hand-guided forklift will be used to handle products in the newly established dispatch warehouse and to dispatch the company’s products.

The new dishwasher, especially designed for washing metal trays, will meet the demanding hygiene requirements for the equipment used by the applicant’s company.

This project is aimed at increasing the production efficiency and overall competitiveness of the company. Promoting investment in technologies related to processing agricultural products while enabling the retention of high quality and to their marketing, will enable the applicant to use modern and more efficient technologies. Last but not least, the implementation of the project will contribute to reducing production costs and reducing the energy intensity of production. The project is necessary for the applicant due to increasing competition from the sector targeted by the company. At the same time, jobs will be maintained or increased, mostly for employees with disabilities. New and more efficient technologies will contribute to less environmental stress.
