Veidekke to build poultry slaughterhouse in Røra

Veidekke subsidiary Grande Entreprenør is to build a poultry slaughterhouse in

the Trøndelag county village of Røra on behalf of Berg Eiendom Levanger AS. The

slaughterhouse will be operated by Ytterøykylling AS and Nortura. The contract

is a design and build contract valued at around NOK 140 million excluding VAT.

"We are over the moon that Berg Eiendom has selected us as their contractor.

This will result in significant production on our books in both 2023 and 2024,

which will help to secure the jobs of our 200 employees and our local partners.

Additionally, a facility of this kind will have positive ripple effects,

bringing many new jobs to the region, which will form the basis of growth and

make the Innherred district an appealing place to live," says Morten Hynne,

General Manager of Grande Entreprenør.

The slaughterhouse will be located at the Leinsmyra industrial area in Røra in

the municipality of Inderøy, and it will have a total approximate area of

8,500m[2] distributed over three storeys. The facility will include areas for

the slaughter and processing of poultry, as well as a goods in area for live

animals and a goods out area for finished products. There will also be a

separate administration wing included in the building.

"With my own background in the meat industry, it's particularly gratifying on

the personal level that we're adding a slaughterhouse to our CV. Food production

is one of the most meaningful things we can do, and it goes without saying that

a community like Innherred, part of Norway's agricultural heartland, must have

facilities that allow it to further process those products that come from its

farming," Hynne concludes.

Construction work will start in the spring with completion scheduled for the

autumn of 2024.
