At Vanlommel, we operate one of the most modern and high-performing slaughterhouses in all of Europe. Everything is done at one location. From slaughter and butchery to the production of consumer packaging, everything here takes place under one roof. Our all-in-one approach also ensures that all quality checks take place under optimal conditions.
The importance of animal welfare officers
At our slaughterhouse, Animal Welfare Officers, along with 24/7 camera surveillance, keep an eye on both animals and staff, making sure everyone’s happy. The camera footage is checked weekly by a team of independent experts, who are also responsible for carrying out weekly inspections. This enables us to continuously improve our practices, while ensuring the highest level of animal welfare.
The cutting room
The showpiece of our slaughterhouse? It has to be our fully automated cutting room. Via a closed and controlled line, the veal is fully processed – from whole carcass to vacuum-packed cut. Traceability and customer focus are both central to this whole operation. Specific cuts can be programmed in consultation with the customer in order to perfectly meet their exact requirements.
Focus on employee wellbeing
With our new, updated system, no one is overlooked. Least of all our employees. Ergonomics and occupational safety form an integral part of the entire production process. In addition, our employees are provided with intensive training for their specific roles, ensuring a high level of precision and optimal efficiency.
Consumer packaging
Good packaging is integral to the success of any product. We are happy to discuss the perfect packaging for you, from choice of materials to personalisation and customised labels, all tailored entirely to your requirements. In addition, we are committed to providing sustainable packaging, such as skin packaging, which we can tailor entirely to your preferences.
Lab, monitoring and certification
To guarantee the quality of our veal, we carry out rigorous checks throughout the entire production process. We are constantly gathering samples from carcasses, cuts, machines and infrastructure. Both at our own and an external lab, we regularly analyse our raw materials and finished products.
At the same time, we also monitor the effectiveness of our daily cleaning procedures. Through such initiatives, we managed to achieve Higher Level IFS certification – in addition to our other certification.
