The D & S Fleisch GmbH was until 2010 a German company based in Essen / Oldenburg , Lower Saxony .
The company was one of the largest slaughterhouses in Germany and was also active in meat processing . The company was founded in 1988 as D&S Fleisch. The abbreviations D&S stood for Dreckmann & Scholten. In 2008, the company employed around 1,000 people and generated sales of around 600 million euros, 37% of which came from exports, mainly to Western and Eastern Europe and Asia. In 2008, 63,500 pigs were slaughtered and cut up per week, and a doubling of capacity was planned for 2009.
In a ranking of the top 150 companies in the meat industry, D&S Fleisch was ranked 15th in the overall list and 4th for the pig slaughter section.
takeover
The company D + S Fleisch was sold to Danish Crown GmbH in 2010 and has been run as the "Danish Crown Germany" sales company since then. "Fleisch Krone Feinkost GmbH", which originally belonged to the company and produces convenience food , was not part of the takeover, but will be continued by the previous owners. At the beginning of 2011, the EU Commission announced that it had no objections to the planned takeover.
criticism
The former management was prosecuted for allegedly untenable conditions, especially in the course of the discussion about EU workers at the time. The journalist Adrian Peter reports about this in his book Die Fleischmafia .
In November 2015, Report Mainz reported ongoing grievances by a Polish subcontractor with regard to the Working Hours Act (prohibited double shifts) and desolate residential accommodation. Report Mainz also reported that the company will part with this company from 2016.
