Where are Teijsen casings selected?

In our own facility, Hunan Divine Foodstuff Technology Co., Ltd in Shaoshan, Hunan, China. Final inspection and packing take place in Zeewolde, the Netherlands.

What happens in Zeewolde?

Every incoming lot is checked, stored chilled and packed in barrels, E2 crates or buckets. Containers leave Zeewolde as full container loads. The site is certified IFS Food Higher Level.

Can you produce a specific make-up or selection?

Yes. The Shaoshan facility focuses on long-end material but produces all specifications on request: calibre tolerance, length, salt content and make-up as salted bundles, soft tubes or easy fill.

Can I visit the facilities?

Yes. Visits to Zeewolde and Shaoshan are arranged on request through our sales team. Contact sales@teijsen.com.

Where every lot is checked before it ships.

Teijsen B.V. moved into its new building at Ambachtsweg 34 in 2016; the foundation stone was laid by Bep and Loes Teijsen on 1 April that year. All selected material arrives here. Each lot is checked against its specification, stored chilled and packed in barrels, easy fill E2 crates or buckets. Containers are loaded as full container loads for worldwide export. Zeewolde also runs global operations and the overseas supply chain. Processing and packing here are certified IFS Food Higher Level, 96.18 %.

Our own selection facility since 2016, rebuilt in 2020.

Teijsen started its own selection facility in China on 4 May 2016 as Hunan Angel Foodstuff Co., Ltd. In 2020 the family built a new plant in Shaoshan: a selection hall, a wastewater treatment facility, offices and dormitories for the workers. Since 2022 it operates as Hunan Divine Foodstuff Technology Co., Ltd. Here the raw material is received, desalted and selected by hand. The focus is long-end material, with every other specification possible on request. Chinese-origin hog casings run on a separate line from European and North American material.

Why two sites

Selection is labour-intensive and belongs close to the raw material. Inspection, documentation and export belong close to the customer and the ports. Teijsen therefore selects in Shaoshan and ships from Zeewolde. The Dutch site sits between Amsterdam and Rotterdam, with the transport infrastructure a 200-plus-container-a-month operation needs.

Shaoshan: from raw material to selected end

Salted raw casings arrive from the slaughter plants. They are desalted, measured against a calibre gauge and sorted by hand into 2 mm steps and by length. XXL hog material of 14 metres and more is the specialism. The plant built in 2020 treats its own wastewater and houses its workers on site. Read how this feeds into the five-step quality process.

Zeewolde: the last check before your cold store

Each lot that arrives in Zeewolde is checked against its specification and stored chilled. Packing follows your preference: barrels, easy fill E2 crates or buckets. Containers are loaded as FCL and documented for your market. The full story of how the family came to build here is on the history page.
