Then
1936
Founded as town butchery by Anton Damhus in Rosendahl / Münsterland. After the business had been taken over by Rudolf Damhus, the focus of activities shifted to the manufacture of bratwurst sausages for the snack gastronomy.
1974
Construction of a new production facility. Associated with this is the further expansion of the qualitative and quantitative strategy, which is aimed at providing sausage products for the wholesale snack gastronomy trade.
1994
With the construction of a larger production facility, the cornerstone was laid for the company’s next expansion steps.
Today:
In the meantime the company is jointly led by Olaf and Udo Damhus in the third generation. Thanks to the farsightedness of the family Damhus, the company was introduced to measures aimed at meeting the changes of the market early on already. Apart from the most important distribution channel of gastronomy, other marketing channels (e.g. wholesale - retail, industry and large-scale consumption) were also developed, which today contribute their share to the continued growth. Furthermore, in the course of the last years, the product range has continuously been developed so that by now, apart from the classic variations (e.g.bratwurst sausage, bockwurst sausage, Polish sausage), a great number of specialities (e.g.cheese grill sausages, Rustikus, Gyrosgriller) also form a part of the product range and thus ensure a well-rounded product range, all from one source. The company is certified in accordance with IFS (International Food Standard) “higher level”, as well as in accordance with the EG Regulations on organic products.
Tomorrow:
The greatest challenge shall always remain the ability to continually adapt the entire company to the requirements and framework conditions as posed by modern markets. It is always our objective to position the business in such a manner as to ensure a sustainable lead of 5 to 10 years. Damhus shall sustainably act on the market as a modern, medium-sized enterprise, and its products shall be rated among the very best in every category.
