Ghen Corporation has been rising Lohmann’s sun in Japan for 50 years now
Since its foundation by former chairman Hideo Tokoro in 1963, Ghen Corporation of Gifu, Japan has grown to be
the undisputed leader in the Japanese
layer chick industry. At present, this full
subsidary of EW Group supplies nearly
90 % of all layer breeders in Japan.
About 22 independent hatcheries purchase breeders from Ghen’s GPS operation and distribute the layer chicks all over Japan. Although the Japanese consumers prefer white-shelled eggs which is about 65 %, brown (28 %) and tinted (7 %) eggs are also sold as so-called branded eggs.
A recently founded company called Nihon Layer which also belongs to the EW Group is a key producer of commercial layer chicks with an annual capacity of almost 25 million chicks. Since the early nineties, the market shares of LSL commercials (called Julia in Japan) have grown to more than 85 % of the domestic white egg layers.
LOHMANN TIERZUCHT supplies both LSL-Classic and LSL-Lite grandparents to Japan to safeguard continuous production of breeding stocks. Both breeds form a perfect match for producers who need M and L class eggs. In 2012, a variety of LSL called “LSL-Ultra-Lite” with predominantly M-S sized eggs completed the package.
LOHMANN TIERZUCHT senior staff attends celebrations
During 2013, several events were organized to commemorate the anniversary of the company. Earlier this year Mr. Erich Wesjohann, chairman of EW Group, attended the so-called “Presidents Celebration” which was also attended by owners of all hatcheries. In August, a party was arranged for Ghen’s staff where LOHMANN TIERZUCHT was represented by its Managing Director Prof. Dr. Rudolf Preisinger and Sales Director Michael B. Seidel. On this occasion, they expressed their gratitude for the great achievements Ghen’s team has realized over the years.
