About the Goldschmaus Group
The Goldschmaus Group is a food industry company headquartered in Garrel with a further production site in Oldenburg. The company brings all steps of beef and pork production under one roof: the slaughtering and cutting of pigs (Böseler Goldschmaus GmbH & Co. KG), the slaughtering and cutting of cattle at the Oldenburg site, and the processing of sausage products, self-service meat and Kasseler products (Goldschmaus Natur GmbH & Co. KG). Around 35,000 pigs are slaughtered each weekend; up to 5,500 pigs are delivered daily and up to 300 t of fresh meat shipped. Around 2,100 employees work in the group, which also includes its own haulage company (Garreler Goldschmaus Logistik GmbH & Co. KG) and Böseler Qualitätsfleisch GmbH for livestock trading. Under the 5xD concept, the products are guaranteed to come from German production; customers include food retail, discounters and gastronomy, and exports go to other European countries and third countries, predominantly by sea freight via Wilhelmshaven.
