About Us

The business is family owned; it was first started in 1970 by Jim Collin and is now owned by his two sons David and Martin.  We employ around 25 full time and part time staff and produce both shell eggs and processed egg products, including pasteurised egg yolk, egg pulp, frozen salted yolk, sugared yolk, egg white and raw egg yolk. We take pride in the high quality of our product and the high standard of commitment we have to our customers.

 

Our farm is managed to the highest standards and in the main exceeds the requirements of the Animal Welfare(Layer Hens) Code of Welfare 2005, which comes under the Animal Welfare Act 1999.

Our modern egg farm uses the Salmet system; The Collin family researched European design, best practice and technology to ensure the houses provide an optimum healthy, clean environment for our laying birds. In September 1999, the Animal Product Act required egg producers to have in place a Risk Management Programme (RMP), adopting HACCP principles for laying farms, feed production, grading and packing to ensure New Zealand eggs are safe, fresh and of the highest quality. Our farm has in place stringent checks and procedures at all stages. Our thorough research and development program over the past few years ensures we are ahead of NZ and international benchmarks and our low mortality and high standards of animal welfare are the envy of other producers throughout the world.

We supply some of NZs largest International companies and suppliers of food products to the world, some of these companies regularly audit us to ensure their high international standards, are being met by us.
