Georgia Poultry Equipment
Owners: Hog Slat Corporation
Location: Hindsville, Ark.
History: “Georgia Poultry Equipment Company was founded in 1995 when the parent company Hog Slat, Inc., bought out and renamed a Georgia company and its eight locations,” Carl Sloan, outside sales representative, said. “We now have numerous stores across the United States and additional outside sales representatives to meet customer needs. Current locations include four in Arkansas counties (Washington, Johnson, Madison, and Carroll) and two in Missouri.”
Products and Services: “We are a full-service company offering consultation prior to sales and installation, as well as continuing service after sales to insure barns are safe, efficient, and profitable. On site at the Hindsville facility are a store manager and also a service manager who is in charge of all service personnel for Arkansas and Missouri. I am an outside sales representative who provides initial consultation, quotes, and oversight of contracted construction crews and equipment installers. We also retrofit upgrades so our customers always have the latest technology available to them.”
Philosophy and future: “Georgia Poultry Equipment Company believes the best way to serve customers is to provide experience, the most advanced technology available, and hands-on assistance to all sizes of turkey, pullet, breeder and broiler operations. This means staying on the cutting edge of technology and offering it to our customers at an affordable price. Toward that end, we are constantly moving forward by designing and manufacturing our own line of equipment called Grower Select in order to streamline marketing and to enhance quality and affordability for our customers.”
