From Farm to Desk: Our Unique Employee Perk

How do eggs from Gols, Austria, end up on the desks of MERCURTEC employees? Let's take you on a behind-the-scenes journey!

 

🧑‍🌾 Meet Heli, Our Farming Partner

It all starts with Heli, a passionate farmer from Gols, Austria, near beautiful Lake Neusiedl. His dedication to sustainable farming has made him the perfect partner for Mercurtec.

🐓 A Glimpse into Chicken Life

Recently, five Mercurtec employees got a firsthand look at our chicken's blissful lifestyle on Heli’s farm. We have two breeds – Sulmtalers and Legehybrids – each living on their own free-range lands – 7,000m² for the Sulmtalers and a massive 40,000m² for the Legehybrids. Guarded by sheep and equipped with luxurious trailers, these chickens truly live the good life.

🌟 Egg-cellent Results

The eggs they produce are a unique perk for our teams in Bratislava, Pezinok, and Senec. We're proud to offer these eggs as part of our non-financial benefits package, recognizing the hard work and dedication of our team. And like our team, our chickens are high-achievers; in 2023 alone, they laid an impressive 7,774 eggs – that's roughly 140 eggs per employee!

🤝 A Personal Touch

Andreas, our company owner, personally delivers these fresh eggs to our offices. It's a small gesture that symbolizes our commitment to our team and our dedication to sustainability.
