About us

We have just two products – and that means we give them all the more care. We know them down to the smallest detail and constantly work on improving them. Since 1968 we have been manufacturing poultry farming technology equipment, covering not only production but also delivery and installation. We also manufacture storage containers, whose greatest advantage is their folding technology.

Why work with us?

60 years of experience

We have been manufacturing folding storage containers and poultry farming technology equipment since 1966. Over those 60 years we have gained valuable experience – among other things, we learned it is better to stand on two legs. We are a Czech company through and through, and proud of our roots.

A stable production program

Two diversified products allow us to offset dips in demand in one field with the other, keeping our production stable over the long run. We know both products down to the smallest detail, give them continuous care and keep improving them.

We are direct manufacturers

We stand behind our products because we make them ourselves – from design through final finishing. We believe product quality starts with the input material, which is why we buy raw materials only from vetted suppliers with a good reputation.

Exports and partners abroad

Over 75% of our production goes abroad, mainly to European countries, where we have long-term partners. Over the years we have also built experience trading with customers around the world. Direct contact with the customer matters to us and we are always looking for new business partners – if you are interested in working with us, write to us at kovobel@kovobel.cz.
