Haarslev Industries is the world market leader in the design, manufacture, delivery, service and optimisation of durable, high-quality equipment that companies use for recovering and upcycling leftovers from processing meat, poultry, fish and various kinds of industrial waste into sustainable feed and food products, ingredients, proteins and biofuels.
The basic idea behind what Haarslev does is simple. Instead of companies having to dispose of valuable by-products, co-products, leftovers and processing residue as waste, in incineration plants or in landfills, we provide the know-how, technologies and equipment to break these potentially valuable organic materials down and to upcycle and reuse their component parts.
We work closely with our customers to make sure we meet their exact requirements and help them run their operations more efficiently, more profitably and more responsibly. Haarslev know-how, technology and equipment enable our customers to run their operations with lower carbon emissions that also help them reach their ESG targets more easily.
We’re also aiming to help make the world a better place via the effective implementation of circular economy solutions. We enable meat, poultry and fish processing companies to make more effective, more responsible and more profitable use of precious organic resources, and thereby create a cleaner, greener and more sustainable future.
Haarslev has approximately 1,000 employees all over the world, with manufacturing facilities in Denmark, Germany, China, USA, Spain and Brazil, and offices/support facilities in 15 countries.
