ANNUAL REPORT 2011
Our ”Compass 2015” gives the direction
In 2011, Westfleisch has accomplished the first stages of its eager development programme ”Compass 2015 – Westfleisch fit for future”. The target achievements expressed therein are to take up the market trends and integrate them in an intelligent concept for improvement and stabilisation of our market position.
Quality and taste provided, the acceptance of meat is increasingly affected by the general debate about appropriate animal husbandry. Therefore, the group’s goals address the issues sustainability, regionality, and animal welfare along the entire value added chain.
Sales growth is consequently pushed. Regarding export – which is a major factor for us – we focus on direct business and establish on-site international cooperation. First successes of the stringent cost management were apparent in 2011 – not only in the energy and water consumption.
Being a farmers’ cooperative, Westfleisch holds an exceptional position among the meat marketers as our farmers are our members. Hence, our corporation is based on a solid owner’s equity structure as well as the contractual agreed cooperation with our farmers. On this background, Westfleisch also copes with the accelerated structural change and globalising business relations.
Westfleisch will further extend the value added chain. Our facilities specialise more and more, giving priority to high quality and safety of our products without compromise.

Dear Members,
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
year 2011 closed with a straight economic result for Westfleisch. We have further grown: Against the sector trend, the corporation’s volume of pig slaughter (incl. sows) increased by 9.1 %, significantly more than in the entire meat industry (+1.4 %). Also the capacity of cattle processing (incl. calves) increased slightly by 0.4 %, whereas the entire sector recorded a minus of 3.2 %.
Ten years already lasts the uptrend, in 2011 the pig production reached a new peak: with 250 m pigs for slaughter in the European Union, 59.3 m pigs in Germany and for the first time 7 m pigs were processed at Westfleisch. The group could sell remarkable 883 300 tons of meat and therefore 6.1 % more than in the previous year. The turnover amounted to a total of 2 206 m Euros, compared to the previous year also a significant plus of 14.3 %.
This trend was characterised by continuous brisk export demand, especially from third countries (tonnage +27.1 %): we were again offered good sales options in the Russian Federation, Singapore as well as particularly in China. Westfleisch could develop new markets in Korea, Japan, and Malaysia. In case of the by-product markets for skin, fat and bones the so-called “fifth quarter” proved its relevance as earnings reserve.
The Westfleisch Board is content with the economic result of 2011 although the value added sectors of the group for self-service fresh meat as well as meat and sausage products in particular had and have considerable concerns: they cannot transfer the increased raw material costs to the retail. The group’s share in the result dropped clearly behind the previous year.
With the project ”lean & smart“ Westfleisch has since Autumn 2010 spotted considerable potentials for cost reduction and added earnings. First positive effects have significantly influenced the economic result of 2011.
In 2011 all Westfleisch locations had to cope with the ISO 16000-Certification according to the Renewable Energy Law. Furthermore, we have rounded off the CO2 profiles: currently the CO2 footprint for beef from Westphalian bull fattening was presented. Following the investigation of pork (3.2 to 4.0 kg 14
Westfleisch
ANNUAL REPORT 2011
CO2-equivalents (CO2e) each kg meat) and veal (as of 8.7 kg CO2e each kg meat) the value for beef lies between 6.6 and 15.3 kg CO2e each kg meat.
The “Aktion Tierwohl” range of presently 17 different products of self-service fresh meat and sausage, offered in retail outlets since mid 2011, is received in the market with great interest, both national and international. Currently 120 audited farms produce an annual volume of more than 400 000 pigs for slaughter.
In the ”Compass 2015“ Westfleisch has laid down individual location development plans over a period of five years. In 2011, the ambitious investment programme of totally 150 m Euro started with the target to establish progressive specialisation and further quality improvement of the production in the individual locations. Westfleisch has backed the required financial framework by a credit volume of 125 m Euros plus bank guarantees. And moreover, the owner’s equity still builds a sound financial basis. Via profit-share schemes Westfleisch has raised funds, a capital of 8.5 m Euros, for the most part from associated investors, mainly of the agriculture sector. Also the capital increase of the Westfleisch Finanz AG of 2.4 m Euros of shares issued within a few weeks accounted for the financial backup.
What will the current year 2012 bring? Westfleisch expects firm producer prices above the previous year’s level for both pigs for slaughter and cattle. With consequent cost management, keeping a watchful eye on the goods and staying close to the customers on the different markets, Westfleisch should be capable to compete again successfully in 2012.
Meat and sausage are sensitive goods. It is our own high demand to supply best quality as a reliable partner and to manufacture our products based on state of the art knowledge in a sustainable and resource-conserving way. That is what we work for. And it can only be done in cooperation with our farmers, our shareholders, the institutions attending us, and our employees. Thank you all for your support to gain our goals, for your commitment and your confidence!

ANNUAL REPORT 2011
Members and Shareholders
a wide base
Presently the cooperative as type of enterprise is undergoing a noticeable renaissance. Westfleisch has followed this business philosophy for more than 80 years. The farmers are the owners, the suppliers and as contract partners in many respects the beneficiaries of a successful company development. That is evident in the growing number of cooperation contracts and members, as well as in the owner’s equity development.
Pick-up in cooperation contracts
More cooperation contracts and only a few withdrawing farmers reflect the trustful cooperation between contract farmers and Westfleisch eG. By end of 2011 Westfleisch had contracts with 2 225 farmers for the supply of more than 5.4 m pigs for slaughter.
Under contract were also 1 256 cattle farmers with TranspaRind-contracts and a volume of about 103 000 bulls, cows, and heifers. 275 piglet producers delivered over 400 000 piglets in line with their BestFerkel-contracts and more than 17 500 sows for slaughter. In the calf processing segment Westfleisch could fall on 31 BestKalb-contracts with ca. 40 000 calves.
Development of the supply of contract pigs
since 1991
6 000 000
Number of pigs
Along the entire process chain, our cooperation contracts are the basis for the Westfleisch ”Partnership for Quality“. We know every farm production site and can therefore strengthen the consumers‘ confidence into the regional origin of the meat products.
Westfleisch supports the close member loyalty by frequent member information (”Westfleisch Company Days“, Westfleisch ”Info für Landwirte“ – Info for farmers). Our farmers open their yard gate for us on the internet. By this, we prove that “good farming practice”, animal welfare, and sustainability – that means the responsible handling of all resources – can in fact be realised.
Also in year 2011 we look back to a successful cooperation with our members and contract partners. The number of cooperation contracts has increased and with it the cooperativeness of our farmers to provide capital and participate in the group’s growth.
By 31.12.2011 we had 4 539 members supporting the cooperative, therefore 64 more than in the previous year. Due to sustainable structural changes on farms in Westphalia-Lippe, a stagnation of our number of members is to be expected. At the same time the producing farms are growing so that the raw material provision is safe in the long run.
some basic points:
• The business assets amounting to 22.5 m Euro by 31.12.2011 are an important part of our owner’s equity. Our individual members hold approx. 15.1 m Euro. About 3.5 m Euro are held by our cooperatives; the Westfleisch Finanz AG as well as the organ members hold ca. 3.8 m Euro. In the recent eight years the business assets could be doubled.
• T he average business assets are increasing year by year. For each individual member it is now about 3 400 Euro, for each cooperative 116 000 Euro.

Pork: Growth declining
2011 was characterised by market fluctuations, caused among others by the dioxin crisis at the begin of the year and by conversion of the calculation basis for the automatic carcass classification. The dioxin was found in the feedstuff, but not in the meat. At no time were consumers endangered. Nevertheless, the prices dropped dramatically but also recovered quickly.
The downturn on the domestic market could be compensated by exports. Moreover Westfleisch, like many other met marketers, used the “private storage” option, offered by the EU to relieve the markets. Possibly this measure prevented a stronger price increase for pigs for slaughter midyear.
However, the leverage of the piglet market hit the slaughter pig market with delay: While in 2011 nationwide still a slight increase of the pig production (+1.1 %) was recorded, an insignificant decline is predicted for 2012.
For pigs for slaughter the year 2011 implicated a clearly higher price level than in 2010. For the first time no so-called ”house price“ was granted, deviating from the recommended price of the German Producer Cooperative (VEZG). The average price (see diagram) of 1.53 € was more than 12 Cent (9 %) higher than in 2010.
Multi-shift work allowed improved deployment of the slaughter capacities at Westfleisch. With a plus of 9 % and 7.04 m processed pigs Westfleisch could grow beyond the sector trend and gain market shares.

Piglets
As the piglet production is dwindling in Germany, farmers
here who are in the piglet fattening business are dependent also on imported piglets. 2011 nationwide approx. 10 m
piglets were imported mainly from Denmark and the
Netherlands. Whereas only 4.6 m pigs for slaughter were
imported, that is a decline of almost 12 %.
Westfleisch Programmes
• In the middle of last year, Westfleisch launched the ”Aktion Tierwohl“ on the market in which the pig fattening farms are subject to special audits and critical monitoring. The pig processing has continuously increased during the year to an average of approx. 7 000 ”Aktion Tierwohl“ animals per week. By the end of the year, the meat of a quarter of a million animals out of the programme was available in retail outlets.
The pig price curve shows for Westfleisch in 2011 again a recurring, in early winter counter-cyclical progress, but on a clearly
higher level than in 2010. The collapse in early 2011 is the result
of the dioxin crisis.

Consumers attach more and more importance to responsible livestock husbandry. They do want to eat meat – with a good conscience.
For years, Westfleisch has worked on finding answers to critical questions in the production of meat and sought to collect experience. As a meat marketer cooperative with high vertical integration (cooperation contracts with suppliers) and processing companies, we have immediate influence on the way of production and hence the quality of animal source food.
it is now possible to ascertain by means of various test criteria if an animal felt well during its lifetime – on the farm, during transport and in the slaughterhouse. Participating companies need to be a BestSchwein-contract farm and be QS-audited. The “Aktion Tierwohl” standard (see: www.aktion-tierwohl.de) outperforms the statutory provisions of the animal protection livestock husbandry guideline in 15 points. Who fattens pigs for “Aktion Tierwohl” must not castrate piglets. The percentage of boars slaughtered at Westfleisch increased considerably, notably in the second half of 2011.
Westfleisch pioneered the sector with the ”Aktion Tierwohl” and defined its own standards. And this for good reason: Based on QS and Animal Welfare as with Tesco in Great Britain 1 Million animals aspired this year
Since middle of last year the products with the yellow Tierwohl label are available in retail outlets, at present in approx. 1 250 stores of twelve distributors. Salami, bacon, or ham sausage from the „Aktion Tierwohl“ programme meet with good and increasing demand.
„Main focus of the marketing
is the national market. However, ”Aktion Tierwohl” products are requested as export

Scandinavia the “Aktion Tierwohl” is successful as individual brand.”
Christian Leding,

At the Anuga 2011 the ”Aktion Tierwohl“ products were awarded with the innovation prize ”taste11“.
From currently 120 ”Aktion Tierwohl“ farms Westfleisch could market last year about 410 000 pigs for slaughter. The farms are mainly family farms with 1 400 fattening places on average.
Another 80 farms with a volume of 350 000 heads of l ivestock are on stand-by and pre-audited. 2012 the programme shall be extended to 1 m animals per year.

In July 2011 an Info Path for realisation of the ”Aktion Tierwohl“ criteria was prepared in Meat Center Coesfeld. More than 40 expert delegations meanwhile gathered information about the ”Aktion Tierwohl”. That confirms the relevance of the subject and the great interest also in the retail sector. With its initiative, Westfleisch is so far the only corporation in Germany offering meat and sausage from an own animal welfare programme in market-relevant quantities.
Scientists estimate the sales potential for this kind of meat consumption on 15 to 30 %. In the other European countries there are comparable market presences for animal welfare product ranges, e.g. in the Netherlands with ”star meat“ concept or the French ”Label Rouge”.

Bull fattening farms receive groups with defined high health status (BHV1-free; BVD-negative). However, the number of calf births is decreasing in Bavaria by 2 to 3 % year by year owing to stringent health standards, farms giving up, and strong competition between bull fattening farmers and farmers operating biogas plants. Hence, less and less Fleckvieh calves are available for fattening. In addition, the number of bull fattening farms is falling continuously as a result of this development as well as the structural change – the bigger farms are established and will further grow, the smaller ones cease agricultural activity.

Meat consumption in Germany
Regarding meat purchase a clear differentiation between ”Aktion Tierwohl“ premium products and standard goods is required. Also in the fresh meat range Westfleisch received already first orders for self-service products.

With ”Aktion Tierwohl“ the farmers document that they are serious about the implementation of animal welfare oriented husbandry. At the same time, food retailers signalise that they recognise consumer expectations and care about the production conditions in the pre-stage.

WestfalenLand has direct influence on the raw material quality because the meat is obtained from Westfleisch slaughter facilities. WestfalenLand thereby definitely proves the meat’s regional origin.
Fresh, fast and (almost) ready
Convenience from Westfleisch gets fresh impetus
The Westfleisch subsidiary WestfalenLand GmbH was capable to increase its sales last year to 78 000 tons and continued the upward trend of recent years with a turnover of 356 m €.

Investment in new building and technology
In the current year, WestfalenLand intends to advance the production by new products and novel cutting techniques. Not only the beef sector but also the pork sector shall expand. For this purpose, WestfalenLand has further intensified the close cooperation with the Meat Center Coesfeld regarding new cutting standards; even more than before the fresh meat specialist will specialise on top level in the current current year, year,

With an average of 950 employees, the company is very flexible to react quickly on customer desires and seasonal variations, orders are processed highly productive. Orders should be placed 12 to 20 hours in advance, production runs ”just in time“ almost around the clock.
By this, every week about 2.5 m self-service packages of meat reach the consumers, not only in Germany, 12 % go to European countries. The self-service convenience business could be extended by 4 %.
Beef becomes a year-round product
In the previous year, the sales of self-service beef could be increased by more than a quarter (+26 %). Beef turns out to be more and more a year-round product without seasonal peaks.
Ice-cold upward
Within the term of one year, IceHouse Convenience has already well established as supplier for the food processing sector and professional caterers. Up to 100 tons per week are meanwhile produced, tendency further rising. The Westfleisch specialist for frozen convenience products is a serious competitor with its deep-frozen, apportionable minced meat.
The frozen patty (Burger) completely manufactured without additions, only from meat, salt and spices is ordered by various retail chains and so are the frozen Cevapcici, goulash or the ”Steak Haché“. IceHouse can score with traceability and batch integrity, which plays a great role in the meat industry.

• A
lready in the years before, Gustoland provided an above average increase of its slaughter volume and is presently moving on an absolute stable level. The pig slaughter (1.56 m heads) at location Erkenschwick recorded a slight plus of 1 % in 2011. This moderate growth could be realised despite the corporation’s suspension of deliveries for the Russian sales market as of April 2011.
Gustoland has invested a lot in the development of fresh product ideas during the last two years. The so-called ”CleanLabel“ products are a real innovation. They partly do completely without additives and are refined only with salt and natural spices, like in the traditional butchery. The first product, a thin sliced “roast pork“ sells well and is presently complemented by the ”smoked pork roast“ Further articles of this assortment – roast beef or roast veal – are in planning stage.

Animal protection is not only relevant in the production of sausage: in 2011 Westfleisch Erkenschwick optimised and comprehensively modernised the waiting pens for the animals for slaughter. Broader stunning chutes, more watering places, a better illumination regime with light/dark zones as well as separate compartments and noise protection measurements ensure that the livestock relaxes better after transport and has less stress.
High investment, lower consumption
In the framework of the strategy Charta ”Westfleisch Compass 2015“ Gustoland has moreover invested 7 m € last year, e.g. in a more efficient half pig pre-cooling system. In 2011, the power consumption could be reduced by 7.9 %; gas consumption was 9.5 % lower than in the previous year.

year. However, Hungary remains important because from their neighbour countries like Macedonia, Slovenia and Croatia are served.
• T
he export to the Baltic States has developed very gratifying in the recent three years: With plus 60 % in turnover and plus 40 % in sales the results are impressive. Here the foundation of the Westfleisch subsidiary ”UAB Westfleisch Baltica“ in Kaunas paid off. With Lithuania being the core area, sales distribute relative evenly across all Baltic countries.
The launch into the food retail was successful in 2011, first sausage products were also ordered. Westfleisch maintains here an above average market share of 63 % of all German exports.
• S ingapore and Malaysia are interesting markets as well. In Singapore, each second piece of pork comes meanwhile from the house of Westfleisch. For Malaysia, where most of the population are Muslims, all Westfleisch locations were re-audited last year. Since beginning of the year, we can again supply the whole pork range to the Chinese minority living there.
• Regarding the marketing of individual cuts (especially pork bellies), the Eastern European countries compete directly with Asia. They are strongly demanded in Hungary, Romania, Poland, and Russia. At the same time, South Korea is the worldwide no. 1 importer of pork bellies.
Europe: Exports increased
The European countries are still an important sales market outside Germany. Compared to the previous year, the export to the EU common market grew by 3.6 % in tonnage and 6 % in turnover.
asia: Westfleisch leading
The development on the Asian markets was and is exciting.
• 4
0 % of the Westfleisch exports still make their way in the bordering Benelux countries. The result in sales and turnover could be improved again by about 10 % compared to the year before.
• Exports to China rose more than expected by 104 % in turnover and 60 % in tonnage. Not only pig ears but also meat cuts and bellies are demanded in ever bigger quantities. The Westfleisch office ”Han Wei“ in Shanghai with four native language employees stood the test of time. Westfleisch manages meanwhile 30 % of the German meat export to China.

Third countries
• B
ased on the good experiences with local country offices Westfleisch has founded last year another branch, the ”Westfleisch Nordic AB“ in Stockholm. The goal is to develop the market in Sweden and Finland with the support of two native language employees. There are already promising successes in the FoodService division and with direct orders from local retailers.
Future prospects
For 2012 with worldwide rising pork prices, a stable export business in the EU-27 is expected. There is above average potential in the third countries, growth market remains Asia. The estimated Russian accession to the World Trade Organisation (WTO) will probably have a positive effect on the German meat export.

FVZ Westfood: for connoisseurs
For years, the market share of ready meals has been growing. They make housekeeping easier, save time and provide a tasty meal. The variety of products also animates customers to rely on this convenient way of cooking when time is short.
From this market development the FVZ-Westfood GmbH, the mutual subsidiary of Westfleisch and the VION Food Group from Holzwickede, benefited with its meat convenience range in the previous year. It is true that the out-ofhome market was highly competitive in the recent business year, but albeit the sales of FVZ-Westfood in the field food service could significantly step up. In spite of slight losses the total turnover in the retail sector lay above 70 m € for the first time. That equals an increase of 7 %.
The Westphalian ”Röstischnitzel“ (hash browns Schnitzel), launched in 2011, is becoming more and more popular with consumers. Originating solely from Westphalian pigs, fattened in Westphalia and slaughtered at Westfleisch the increasing sales reflect the trend for regional products.
Bruns: optimised processes
Bruns Fleischhandels- und Zerlege GmbH (meat trade and cutting) from Erkenschwick is acting in a true special market niche: The company, of which Westfleisch holds the majority stake, deals with pig heads and processes more than 10 tons of raw material per hour. The cutting specialist considerably invested in 2011, about 1.5 m € in a second machine for semi-automatic cutting of pig heads.
The main part of the deboned goods is exported: pig ears go to the Chinese market as delicacy. Beside Asia, also France and the Baltic countries are interested in pig noses. The head meat is a raw material highly demanded in industry for further processing. Bruns extracts the maximum possible of this raw material and supplies it for market conform exploitation.
Much activity was devoted last year to process optimisation and improvement of the company’s internal logistics. A new loading building, allowing continuous loading/unloading and providing further improved hygiene conditions, was commissioned.
However, the consequences of the financial and economic crisis are still present; customers are highly price sensitive. That requires pinpoint adjustment to the market situation, an intensive and fair cooperation with the customer as well as further improvement of efficiency and quality regarding the investment in 2012.

Coldstore Hamm: the gate to the world
Every day 1 000 tons of meat are handled: in the recent years Coldstore Hamm has evolved from a mere storage location into a multi- functional service centre around frozen goods logistics. From there, Westfleisch forwards cuts and special products to any place in the world.
• L ast year the extension building was completed. Now a total of 10 000 tons can be stored ice-cold. Thereby the overall capacity (17 000 pallet spaces) and storage facilities have been increased by one third.
• In shortest time the orders are picked and the products prepared for shipment: Within one day, 40 tons of goods can be frozen in a plate freezer and 120 tons can be packed in cardboard boxes.
• C
oldstore is a powerful partner of Westfleisch, the increase of the third country export is a main pillar for the corporation’s growth. The company in Hamm, favourably situated with regard to transport facilities, deals with all services from flash freezing to packaging and placing into cardboard boxes to issuing the shipping documents up to customs declaration. All veterinary certifications needed for export are issued in Hamm.
• O
wing to capacity extension Coldstore Hamm could increase the third country exports by more than 50 % to 2 276 orders. The number of employees, who are best skilled for their jobs, has doubled to 33 jobholders within one year.

Specialised in the processing of slaughter by-products not suitable for human consumption (so-called Cat. 3 products)
is the WestPet Janke GmbH in Petershagen. Westfleisch holds a share of 51 % in this company that exclusively supplies raw material to the pet food industry, the most part to wet food producers. On demand, specialists for dry food are served as well, even though the portion was not so high in the 2011 business.
Recent year turnover and sales developed gratifyingly positive: With about 28 000 tons, sales were 10 % ahead of the previous year. The turnover amounted to 10.5 m € and thereby lay 14.8 % above last year. WestPet Janke sells more and more fresh goods, in the recent year alone plus 35 %, with upward tendency.
WestPet Janke responds to the growing market and the changed business conditions, it recently offers the processing pet food industry custom-made shredded fresh goods up to ready blends. In the next two years, an extension including plate freezers with automatic fill and discharge is scheduled.

dog’s nature growing
Last year Westfleisch has set course for a stronger involvement in the growing pet food market. Since January 2011, our corporation holds a share of 25.2 % in Dog’s Nature. With ca. 60 employees, the specialist for dry dog snacks processes over 6 000 tons raw material annually.
The site in Erkenschwick is the sole production location and issues certificates in compliance with International Food Standard (IFS). The products are subject to the standard for food production. They forgo completely without additives and are gently dried in a patented process. The close cooperation with Westfleisch has already proven successful in the first year. Westfleisch could increase the percentage of raw material delivered from 5 % to 45 %. By this, the meat marketer has immediate access to the pet food market implying good options for the ecological and economical exploitation of slaughter by-products. Dog’s Nature benefits from the reliable raw material supply.
Last year the range was considerably extended. Using innovative procedures new products can be made of alternative raw materials. Owing among others to these new items, the profit of Dog’s Nature quadruplicated in some segments.
Wetralog: new and efficient
Westfleisch is convinced that a competent in-house logistic solution is necessary to serve customers’ desires fast and professional. With the Wetralog Food-Logistik subsidiary, the corporation keeps its independency and flexibility in terms of procurement. That is what also the facts show: While the number of Wetralog employees remained nearly unchanged, sales increased to now 85 m €.
In the previous year, the Westfleisch subsidiary heavily i nvested and has modernised its entire vehicle fleet under the aspect of ”Green Logistics“. In order to keep the rise of freight costs as low as possible, to reduce polluting- and noise emissions and to update the cooling technology, the cooling devices for articulated trailers used so far were replaced by a new system. That offers maximum power while being environmentally sustainable. At the same time, articulated trailers with a high consumption were replaced too. By this, Wetralog was capable to reduce the fuel consumption most efficiently: The use of the new cooling aggregates alone provides a reduction of the fuel consumption of ca. 20 %.
In the audit according to International Food Standard (IFS) Wetralog once more achieved the best mark ”Higher Level“. In terms of quality Wetralog continuous to be en route with top level.
