We sell fresh and processed meat via our various brands along with a series of by-products to customers in more than 130 countries. We have a total of 89 production facilities, 40 separate warehouses and 38 offices in 30 countries. The numbers cover own and leased facilities. Most of our approximately 26,600 employees work at the production facilities in Europe. Our vision is climate neutral production.
