Flavor begins with the right foundation. Sow meat is a critical raw material for many high-quality sausage and processed meat products – forming the basis for quality, consistency, and taste.
WestCrown is a joint venture between Westfleisch and Danish Crown and one of Europe's leading specialists in sow meat. In Dissen, we combine reliable sow cutting and deboning with security of supply from two strong parent groups and the agility of a focused team – a trusted partner for B2B customers. Especially in a market with declining livestock numbers, the joint venture ensures reliable access to raw material from two of Europe's most productive regions: Germany and Denmark.
