Our history

DCW is unique in that we have control of our products every step of the way from raw material through selection and fulfillment. Over a course of years, DCW Casing LLC has become an integral part of DAT-Schaub and all shareholders agreed that the time had come for DAT-Schaub to take over the sole ownership of DCW Casing LLC in 2022.
Consistency, traceability and quality control are the main focuses of DCW. The history of each independent entity is what has allowed this structure to be possible. A combined 250 years of experience is what makes DCW the most experienced and qualified supplier in the industry.

DAT-Schaub

DAT-Schaub was founded in 1893 in Esbjerg, Denmark with only 4 employees cleaning and selecting Danish hog casings. From the modest start the company grew together along with the Danish slaughterhouses, expanding throughout the next 120 years. Over the decades, DAT-Schaub has been active in food trade and food service business, however from 2002, the focus has been on natural and artificial casings, ingredients, packaging and machinery.

Our history

Why DCW casing?

It is not uncommon in business to hear the words “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. There is certainly wisdom in that statement, however often innovation can improve upon productivity as well as cut down on costs. DCW Casing works with several thousand customers worldwide from major distributors to local sausage makers. Our goal is to identify the specific needs of a customer in order to recommend the ideal casing for their specific application. Traditionally, the main focus put upon casings manufacturers was related to how many pounds per hank the casing will stuff. Though this is certainly an important factor, a new emphasis is being place on topics such as pounds per hours, percentage of rework, and avoidance of worker fatigue.

Pursuing perfection since 1893

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 more than a century, we’ve been processing natural casings. Quality is at the core or our craftsmanship – and the source of our passion for perfection. From our natural and artificial casings, to our innovative ingredient blends, our borderless logistics and our nose-to-tail approach to sustainability, everything we do is driven by passion, purpose and pride. And the results show on your bottom line.
