HATO at PEAK 2026: Advancing Light Management for Modern Poultry Production

Written by Kiril Stoimenov | Mar 26, 2026 1:19:52 PM

From April 14–16, 2026, HATO will be present at PEAK – The Premier Show for Poultry Production in Minneapolis. As one of the leading global events in the industry, PEAK brings together top integrators, producers, researchers, and innovators — making it the perfect stage to showcase how next‑generation lighting solutions can elevate animal welfare and operational efficiency.

We’re excited to return with our own booth at #651 and to continue strengthening our presence in the U.S. market, where demand for intelligent poultry lighting is growing rapidly.

Driving Poultry Performance Through Science-Backed Lighting

At HATO, we believe that lighting is more than visibility — it is an animal management tool. For decades, we’ve translated scientific insights into practical innovations that help farmers improve welfare, behaviour, and productivity.

During PEAK 2026, visitors can explore our latest portfolio for modern poultry houses, including:

  • CORAX CoreCall – our advanced communication-ready lighting solution, designed for superior dimming performance and bird-friendly spectra.
  • BUBO CoreCall – a compact, versatile lighting option ideal for enriched colony and cage-free environments.
  • STERNA – the proven choice for cage facilities, delivering uniform, stress-reducing light distribution.
  • SYLVA dimmable – combining simplicity and reliability for a wide range of poultry applications.

All products will be available on our CoreCall product pillar, demonstrated live at the booth.
