History

Alfred De Brauwer has set ous the beacons in 1920 – for up untill now – prosperous company within pig trade. Whereupon Jacques De Brauwer, the youngest son of Julien De Brauwer, founded Groep De Brauwer together with his wife Nicole. Among Jacques and Nicole the business knew a big growth, and the company broke into the international market of selling pork sides.

At the end of 2013 it was decided to enter into a structural partnership with Groep Danis, a family business active in the agro-industry homebased in Koolskamp. Groep Danis is market leader in the field of pig manifacturing within Belgium. In July 2013 followed the acquisitiion of Exporslaughterhouse Decoster at Ruiselede.

These acquisitions allowed Groep De Brauwer, Exportslaugherhouse Decoster and Danis to strenghten eachother. This enforces an extensive vertical integration within the meat processing industry.
