The disassembly and manufacturing of our meat is an essential process that involves many steps to ensure that the meat is safe, clean, and of high quality.
After the pork has been disassembled and processed, it is important to package it properly to keep it fresh and preserved.
We have strict standards and procedures in place to ensure that the meat is properly packaged and stored.
As a rule, our standardized raw materials are available to our customers on a just-in-time basis. Our fleet of 6 company-owned refrigerated vehicles guarantees reliable delivery.
At SCHWEDE, we have a clear corporate philosophy based on four important pillars: our customers, our employees, our partners, and our company. These principles are supported by our overriding principle of cleanliness and hygiene in the workplace during the production of food and the professional handling of raw materials and operating resources.
Our employees are the heart of our company.

“What began as a small butcher’s shop in 1964 has developed over the years into a modern and efficient company that serves the entire sausage industry as a specialist and supplier of standardized quality meat. After initially focusing on German manufacturers, the sales area has now expanded to include almost every country in the world. The product range is constantly expanding, encompassing deeper products in the pork sector.
The company is now managed by the 2nd generation and is being prepared for the next generation.
With a sense of tradition, quality, and innovation, I lead the company into the future.
