Boly, PLC: Overview
On behalf of our sixteen-hundred employees, it is my pleasure to address you concerning Bóly Agricultural Production and Commercial PLC. We are proud to be one of the largest agricultural enterprises pursuing traditional means of production, not only in our native Hungary, but around the world. I invite you to dedicate a few minutes of your time to learn of our company’s traditional yet forward- thinking philosophy and activities. Through commitment to our fundamental principles of partnership, reciprocity, and mutual economic benefit, our company has flourished where changing politics, economic systems, and ideologies have left others to wither on the vine. And now, as we open ourselves to new global markets, we wish to share the countless opportunities our company offers for both cooperation and partnership on the business to business level.
Situated between the Danube and Drava Rivers, in Baranya County in southern Hungary, lies Boly’s eighteen-hundred hectares of plow-land. This estate has been the site of intensive large-scale farming for more than three hundred years. The exemplary farming methods practiced here since 1708 are rooted in the hard work and time-tested expertise of the people of this area. Based on the proper utilization of the excellent natural conditions of the area combined with the practice of continuous soil replenishment, our achievements are the result of a highly structured and fully integrated system of production, processing, and partnership. This working philosophy, coupled with our ability to adapt both to the demands of the market and our partners, has allowed for Boly’s continuous growth and development into our fourth century of existence.
Since the estate’s transformation into Boly Agricultural Production and Commercial Public Limited Corporation, we have refined the strategies of large-scale production. These refinements required long-term planning on our part, involving continuous technological development, the creation of new production procedures, experimentation and research, thereby ensuring Boly’s continued relevance in the modern marketplace.
Distinguishing Bóly PLC from many other large scale agricultural companies are its highly structured systems for cultivation of plants, animals, and breeding. These systems allow us to keep our processing and trade activities interdependent yet maintain our rigorous standard of service, thus allowing for the realization of regional cooperation and achievement of our long-term goals.
In our stated strategy and daily practice, we consider the demands of our business partners and customers along with the high quality of our products and services. In the agricultural sector, our company was the first to declare its commitment to quality products for our customers by introducing the ISO 9001 quality assurance system. Our private standard has now evolved into the HACCP system for guaranteeing the safety of food, providing a monitoring service for the benefit of our business partners while holding us to our own stated quality standard.
