We have a joint task and a shared responsibility. And we can only see the task through if we believe in it. Reducing Danish Crown’s payroll costs by 20 per cent per kilogramme represents a huge challenge. But we have come a quarter of the way, and I feel confident we can achieve our goal with the rest. You have to think what the alternative is.

Blans throws down the gauntlet

At the end of March, Danish Crown’s slaughterhouse in Blans was up to 50,000 pigs a week. Today, full capacity at the plant is 56,000 pigs a week.

We have a state-of-the-art slaughterhouse where we can continually adjust capacity. The new set-up enables us to vary the cuts because we can, in principle, cut everything at the cutting tables. At the same time, the new generation of automation significantly reduces the number of service assistants in the cutting facility, says Ole Carlsen, Factory Manager at DC Blans.

Rebuilding New Blans has generally followed the main master plan. Only a few months after the fire, a temporary production line was established, ensuring that all the pigs could be slaughtered.
