PEOPLE
People play an important role in our organization. INTERDARM natural casings are completely handmade by our skilled staff, who put their dedication into the final product every day. Our experienced selectors calibrate up to 8.000 meters every day!
But even with our highly motivated team, we cannot be successful all by ourselves. We place great value on the long-term partnerships we have built up in Poland, Egypt, China and New-Zealand. They play a key part in achieving a consistent, high product quality.
LOCATION
We manage our operations from our headquarters in The Netherlands. Our production facility is based in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. This modern factory with 3.800m2 working area enables us to have full control over the entire production process under one roof.
The building infrastructure allows for completely separate workflows, ensuring product control and full traceability. Modern freezing and cooling facilities help control the optimal climate for our product in the different production stages.
Through an optimized logistics and distribution network in Europe, we are able to supply our customers with short delivery times.
