The slaughterhouses

Tailored production programmes

At the VanDrie Group, production follows a customised approach, which starts at the farm, where calves are selected according to species and origin. All veal products are made to client specifications. These may relate to confirmation, weight and colour of the meat. Any cut can be produced when the meat is being processed. The packaging is also made as requested by the client: boxes, foil and product- information stickers are produced on the basis of agreed specifications. In this way, the VanDrie Group supplies a tailor-made concept, every hour of the day, all over the world.

Two of the Dutch slaughterhouses in the VanDrie Group, T. Boer & zn in Nieuwerkerk a/d IJssel and Ekro in Apeldoorn, are among the largest veal slaughterhouses in the world. A unique feature of the VanDrie Group slaughterhouses is that each cut is labelled with a unique identification number, enabling all details to be tracked and traced back to the individual animal.
