Compaxo Group B.V. Revenue and Competitors

Compaxo is a family owned business, with a history spanning back five generations. It was officially founded 1921, but the family had been inseparably associated with the butchery trade for much longer. In 1855, the first activities related to the preparation of meat products took place in the Gouda town center. One of the founders followed in his father's footsteps, and much quicker than anticipated, his butcher shop had a fast-growing and above all loyal group of customers. What was at the time considered to be a modern factory was built on a riverbank in Gouda in 1952. Compaxo Fijne Vleeswaren B.V. is still based there to this day, and around 500 employees work here on a daily basis. In 1973 activities were started in an own slaughterhouse, under the name Compaxo Vlees B.V., in the municipality of Zevenaar in Gelderland. The traditional family successions have led to a great deal of know-how and the passing down of traditions and experience on which today's company is based.
