Atev Fehérjefeldolgozó Zrt. - Hódmezővásárhely

The Animal Feed Production Company (ÁTEV) was founded by the National Stateaid Agency on July 1st 1949 for the collection and disposal of animal by-products generated in Hungary. There have been marginal changes in the operation of the company since Hungary joined the EU. According to the European legislations animal by-products have been categoarized into three categories by our national legislation as well - in the view of potentional infectiousness, treatment and the usage of products made of animal by-products. In order to this categorization the company had to solve the selective collection and treatment of animal by-products of different origin. To fulfill these new requirements the transportation system was reorganized and the exact sites were specialized for the treatment of animal by-products of different origin. Accordingly Category 1 and 2 animal by-products are treated at the sites of Solt and Debrecen. Category 3 animal by-products for petfood purposes are treated at Hódmezővásárhely and Mátyásdomb. Bőny, Böhönye and Hernád are operating as collection points.
