About Westfort Vleesproducten

In their own words

About the company & team

Westfort is a Dutch family business with over 1,600 colleagues. From our locations in IJsselstein, Oudewater, and Hedel, we process approximately 300,000 tons of pork annually and realize a turnover of approximately €700 million. We work exclusively with Dutch pigs and Dutch pig farmers. In doing so, we consciously choose long-term cooperation in chains, in which we work together on further improvement in the areas of animal welfare, animal health, and environmental impact.

Since 2015, our main location in IJsselstein has grown into one of the most modern meat processing locations in Europe, with an integrated freezing plant. In Oudewater, we manufacture and package consumer products for the Dutch retail sector. In Hedel, we produce a wide assortment of meat products, with a strong specialization in organic. Europe is our home market, but Westfort products also find their way worldwide.

At Westfort, we therefore find it important that everyone is seen and heard. We attach great value to the new knowledge that our colleagues bring, so that we can learn from each other. Despite our growth, we are an organization with short lines, a no-nonsense mentality, and much attention to our employees. Here, you are not a number, but an important link in our success.
