About us

Our multi-cultural origin story

It all started in 1893 when Schaub & Co, a casing company from Hamburg, established a small subsidiary in Esbjerg, Denmark. In 1907, Schaub & Co established a department in Copenhagen. After years of strong collaboration with the local Danish casing colleagues in the cooperative DAT, the companies joined forces and transformed into a cooperative in 1921 and both Danish cooperative slaughterhouses and private slaughterhouses became owners. By 1934, Schaub & Co was one of the leading companies in the Copenhagen’s meatpacking district. By 1972, a merger was completed and the company became known as DAT-Schaub.

Over the last century, expansion continued. We’ve achieved remarkable global growth and remain a world leader in the sourcing, processing, warehousing, sales and distribution of a wide variety of products to the food industry. Today, our name is on billions of meters of casings per year.

Passion for perfection

Perfect is a big word. Too big, you may say, for anything made by man.
And then again, something happens when you get a sausage where the casing fits to the millimetre. Something you don’t have to be a professional to understand. It’s only human to do your best. We do it every day.

For us, the customer is always at the center, and we at DAT-Schaub AB attach the greatest importance to being a reliable partner and to offer our customers the highest possible level of service.
