Founder Legacy
Experience shaped by Joop Meijn

About Alfa
A smaller, practical company with real poultry industry experience.
Alfa Food & Poultry Projects BV helps poultry processors with lines, machines, upgrades, used equipment, parts, and practical plant support.
Alfa's published history links the company to decades of poultry equipment and export experience associated with Joop Meijn. That history still matters because it gives Alfa practical judgement in line layout, machine selection, export work, and plant upgrades.
Today Alfa focuses on practical support for smaller and mid-sized processors that want clear advice, flexible solutions, and support before, during, and after installation.

Support after delivery
