VOSSKO is a globally active company with strong roots in the region. Our headquarters are located in Ostbevern, Germany, where our fast-growing, owner-managed company employs over 850 dedicated employees.

Both sites stand for the highest quality standards and set benchmarks in food production. Both sites, as well as additional sales companies in the UK and Switzerland, form the basis for our success and continuous growth.
Ostbevern in the Münsterland region
Our head office in Ostbevern is located around 20 km north-east of Münster. Bernhard and Maria Vosskötter founded VOSSKO here in Münsterland in 1982. The steady growth of our company over the last 42 years has made it necessary to continuously expand our production and office buildings. With more than 850 employees, VOSSKO is the largest employer in the town and the majority of employees come from the surrounding region. The low fluctuation rate reflects the close connection with our company and means both responsibility and affirmation of our goals: As a management team, we are committed to our regional roots and cultivate local traditions - for us, they represent a logical basis for international success in many export markets.

Lages, Brazil
Poultry and meat have traditionally been of great importance and economic significance in Brazil. The favorable climate, feed produced in the country and strict quality controls are key success factors that have enabled Brazil to achieve pole position worldwide in the fattening, processing and marketing of poultry. The demanding safety and environmental standards are major hurdles for producers, but also protect the industry and its high quality standards. Since 2004, we have built our production facility in the state of Santa Catarina in the south of the country, where we now employ over 500 people. Annual IFS, BRC and Halal audits guarantee a consistently high standard of the products produced there, in addition to the outstanding quality of the meat.

Poultry farms in Brazil must document all measures along the entire value chain in a close-knit monitoring system so that they can be traced back seamlessly - to protect both the individual farm and the industry as a whole.
Hygiene: a key factor for success
Poultry - nutritional and physiological benefits
Poultry is of great importance to human nutrition almost everywhere in the world, not least because of its content of important nutrients such as protein, various vitamins and minerals. It therefore makes an important contribution to a balanced diet.
