Vision and mission
NWT’s vision is to add value to its pork by-products as optimally and flexibly as possible and make them available to the widest possible range of people. The world needs affordable and tasty products with high nutritional value. NWT aims to feed the world with valuable and food-safe proteins.
Volume to Value
For the past two years under the Vion banner, NWT has increasingly focused on value creation for its customers. NWT is creative, innovative and entrepreneurial, and has a wealth of product and process knowledge. NWT is able to add value to products quickly, well and flexibly, whether it involves cutting, sawing, cooking, smoking, drying, adding flavour or any of the other processes NWT offers.
History
NWT was established in 1999 to provide an outlet for small and medium-sized abattoirs to sell their pork by-products. By-products such as kidneys, ribs and trotters also have value outside Europe, for example in Asia, Africa and the Western Caribbean, where they are part of mainstream consumption patterns.
NWT focused on exporting packaged by-products around the world. Over time, this has grown from modest beginnings into a business handling 1,800 tonnes of by-products per week.
In 2010, the German company Saria acquired NWT. In the following 10 years, the production and processing of pork by-products were extensively optimised. Since 2020, NWT has been part of international food company Vion Food Group, where it is part of the strategic group Vion Ingredients. The vast knowledge available at NWT on pork by-product valorisation and the company’s unique position in the global market make NWT a strategic party that can provide tailor-made solutions to its customers.
