Busyness in Sdr. Felding opens for new night team
Burgers, steaks and other delicacies galore at the Danish Crown Beef factory in Sdr. Felling. The situation is like this right now, where it is busier than ever.
Therefore, a night shift is now being opened at the factory to expand the production capacity, which is already completely filled during the day.
"'It is a combination of several things that means we are really busy right now. We have gained new customers in the store, and the existing customers are buying larger quantities. Therefore, we need to expand outside of daytime to be able to produce more. This means that we need 12 new employees for the night shift", says Preben Holm, factory manager at Sdr. Felling.
Among other things, it is the burger production that is going really well and takes up a large part of the factory's production capacity right now. It is also this production that must run at night, as it can be managed with few employees.
"Our burger lines run all the time, soon both day and night. Last year we invested in a new burger line, which is largely fully automatic, and that makes it obvious to run at night as well. Our Burger Boost has been given another variant with Smokey Twist, so it takes up more space in production", says Preben Holm.
With the new night shift, there will be almost 100 employees gathered at the factory in Sdr. Felling.
It's a good time to expand production capacity, because while burgers, ground beef and steaks are already in high demand, summer and grilling season are also very close. And it is, according to tradition, the busiest time of the year.
"We have many barbecue products that are produced here in Sdr. Felling. Flank steak marinated is, for example, always a huge hit during barbecue season and these products come on top of the current demand. Our barbecue range consists of fresh meat, so we cannot produce it for stock. Therefore, we need all square meters of production in the coming months", says Preben Holm.
