We specialize in slaughtering, cutting and deboning pork meat and focus on providing a dynamic and flexible service to distributors and customers. Export to some of the most quality-conscious markets in the world guarantees an unrelenting focus on quality and food safety. Our history dates back to 1928. In the 19th century all pigs were slaughtered at the farm and sold to customers in the local community. At the end of the century when Danish tradesmen succeeded in establishing export of Danish pork to Great Britain and Germany, farmers had to gather their pigs in larger quantities, which led to the establishment of regional slaughterhouses. The first cooperative slaughterhouse was established in 1887 and by 1930 there were 60 cooperative slaughterhouses in Denmark due to the continued success with export of high-quality meat. In 1928 the founding stones to what is known as Tican today were laid. For many years the primary market of Tican was the Danish home market, particularly to customers in the area where the slaughterhouse is located in Northern Jutland. During the 1990s the international expansion picked up speed, and today our products are exported to several countries worldwide. In March 2016 Tönnies bought Tican A/S. The slaughterhouse in Brørup, the former SBPork, was founded in 1980 by locale butchers. As the company grew significantly over the years, the owners wanted to ensure continued development and therefore agreed with Tönnies in 2005 to take over. Today SBPork and Tican have merged. Company name is Tican Fresh Meat A/S, and is the danish part of Tönnies Group. The merger provides a solid basis for continued close cooperation with both suppliers and customers.
