Van Hessen opens hog selection plant in Paraguay

Van Hessen supplies sausage manufacturers in over 60 countries with high-quality natural casings and covers the entire supply chain from harvesting, processing and distribution.
 
The company is developing its own activities in South America with the inauguration of the new hog selection plant in October 2024 in Limpio (Paraguay), a city on the outskirts of the capital Asunción. The opening was another milestone for Van Hessen, which has been present in Paraguay since 2019.

The site comprises two workplaces, a large warehouse and a building for the canteen and administration. The entire construction project took two years to complete. Van Hessen’s natural casings product range includes sheep, lamb, goat, beef and pork casings. The last of these is now selected at the site in Paraguay. 
 
In South America, Van Hessen is present in four countries with its own branches. In addition to Paraguay, these include Chile, Argentina and Brazil.
