Inside a Cypriot poultry farm where durability, peace of mind, and next-generation farming come together
Poultry farming is more than a job for George Navaro — it’s a legacy. George manages four poultry houses with his father, who, even at 80, is still by his side every day. Their bond, and their shared dedication to the craft, runs deep. And when it comes to lighting, they don’t take chances.
"I grew up in poultry farming with my father. What we value most in a product is durability,” says George.
Back in 2019, with support from A&P ANDREOU & BROS LTD, HATO’s distributor in Cyprus, George installed CORAX in two new houses — each holding 35,000 broilers. The results? Not a single lamp has needed replacing in five years. That’s not just a performance metric — it’s peace of mind.
CORAX is designed for the daily realities of poultry farming: high humidity, dust, and demanding production cycles. For George, that’s where it shines.
“What stands out most to me is the exceptional durability of HATO’s CORAX lighting system,” he explains.
Across five years and countless flocks, his CORAX setup has remained untouched. That means no unexpected costs, no mid-cycle disruptions, and no stress over whether the lights will make it through another round.
George’s setup features three rows of CORAX lighting per house, spaced three meters apart, and tailored to his precise lighting program:
The effect? A calm, stable environment where birds thrive.
In modern poultry farming, lighting isn't just about visibility — it's about creating a stress-free environment that supports welfare and performance. That’s where CORAX continues to deliver, day in and day out:
These technical features may not be flashy, but they translate into something every farmer understands: reliability.
Too often, lighting systems are chosen based on upfront cost rather than lifecycle value. George has a clear message for those weighing their options:
Cheap always turns out expensive. CORAX is the smart, long-term choice.
He’s seen how low-cost lighting solutions often lead to costly replacements, higher maintenance, and lower animal comfort. With CORAX, the math is simple: you invest once, and it pays off for years.
None of this would be possible without A&P ANDREOU & BROS LTD, who’ve played a key role in introducing HATO solutions to poultry farms across Cyprus. Their hands-on approach, deep knowledge of the local market, and long-standing relationship with George have been crucial to the project’s success.
With CORAX continuing to perform flawlessly, George is already planning two new poultry houses — a sign not just of business growth, but of confidence in the future.
In his eyes, continuity isn’t just about keeping the farm running. It’s about passing on knowledge, values, and a vision to the next generation — with lighting systems that are ready to support that legacy.
A big thank you to ANDREOU & BROS for their trusted partnership and local expertise,” says George. “They’ve made this whole experience effortless.
