ISS safeguards Danish Crown’s the first factory in China

Technicians Taking Coffee Break

As the Facility management service partner, ISS provides high quality service for Danish Crown to ensure efficient operation for pork production and processing at its Pinghu production base from October 2021. The transition from the previous partner went smoothly thus has no disruption to its core business.

China is the largest pork consumer in the world. Fragrant, ideal for cooking and good taste are the main reasons for the popularity. With the upgrade of consumption and the rise of new generation consumers, food safety and quality is a high concern.  

Established in 1887, Danish Crown, owned by Danish farmers, produces pork products in compliance with EU food safety standards. All pigs are born on Danish farms and were given unique earrings, of which related chip records all the information from birth to the dinner table, to accomplish strict control of food safety.

In September 2019, the first production base of Danish Crown was established in Pinghu Economic and Technological Development Zone, Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province, and it was mainly used to produce fresh meat, packaging, bacon, sausages and other meat products. Those pigs are born and raised in Denmark, then transported to Pinghu base for further processing through a closed supply chain, before delivering to Chinese customers.
