The 1930s
Company foundation in Görlitz
HEIN can look back on a long and eventful history. Master butcher Georg Hein laid the foundation for the company with his butcher store in Görlitz in the 1930s. The business flourished. Until the end of the Second World War, the butcher’s shop on Moltkestraße was considered the top address for gourmets..

Laying of the foundation stone of EG-Fleischwarenfabrik Dieter Hein in Hasbergen-Gaste
In 1975, today’s meat products factory started operations just outside the gates of Osnabrück, in Hasbergen-Gaste. This marked the beginning of a phase of strong expansion. The company premises were successively extended. The development of the HEIN group of companies began with the establishment of new plants, bases and holdings. This set the decisive course for the international orientation of the company’s activities, especially for the distribution of meat specialities on the European and American markets. Joint ventures were established with international partners such as Vienna Beef (Chicago/USA), Lunden Food (Turku/Finland) and Casa Westfalia (Vulpellac/Spain).
