Visiting Tönnies

Taunusstein, July 14.07.2017, XNUMX. Since we now regularly and gladly report about Tönnies (Rheda-Wiedenbrück) on our platform, we have decided to visit the company in person. We then got a viewing appointment quickly and easily. The tour of the company started with a warm welcome and changing into mandatory hygienic clothing that had already been announced. Two gentlemen from the higher department of the house took 2 hours to show us the premises and processes of the slaughterhouse. During the tour of the “Administration Building”, even Mr. Clemens Tönnies could be seen in a conference room. Then it went into other buildings, where we were able to experience the slaughter process, the cutting and the production of minced meat up close.

Business areas of Tönnies

The corporate brands »Tillmans« and »Toasty« are particularly well-known among consumers. Tillmans is the German market leader for packaged fresh meat (self-service meat) and also offers a comprehensive range of convenience products, as well as boiled ham, boiled cured meat and sausage products.

Division Meat
The Tönnies success story begins with the unique quality and freshness concept. Thanks to the sustainable "biological unit" of slaughtering, cutting and packaging under one roof, this philosophy brings the highest product freshness. The quality meat produced “inline” from the Tönnies group of companies is well known nationally and internationally as the basis for all downstream processing and consumption levels. The key to freshness and quality assurance is the integrated and seamlessly documented inline production under one roof. During the production process, from slaughter to the refined product at one location, the cooling and hygiene line is not interrupted at any point.
