ANNUAL REPORT 2011
Our ”Compass 2015” gives the direction
In 2011, Westfleisch has accomplished the first stages of its eager development programme ”Compass 2015 – West-fleisch 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.
Being a farmers’ cooperative, Westfleisch holds an excep-tional 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, West-fleisch also copes with the accelerated structural change and globalising business relations.
Quality and taste provided, the acceptance of meat is in-creasingly 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.
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.

Foreword of the Executive Board
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 (ton-nage +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 Renew-able Energy Law. Furthermore, we have rounded off the CO
2 profiles: currently the CO
2 footprint for
beef from Westphalian bull fattening was presented. Following the investigation of pork (3.2 to 4.0 kg

CO2-equivalents (CO
2e) each kg meat) and veal (as of 8.7 kg CO
2e 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!
With best regards
Dr. Helfried Giesen Carsten SchruckSpokesman of the Executive Board CFO, Member of the Executive BoardMünster, February 2012

Members and Shareholders
a wide base
Presently the cooperative as type of enterprise is undergo-ing 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 develop-ment. That is evident in the growing number of cooperation contracts and members, as well as in the owner’s equity de-velopment.
Pick-up in cooperation contractsMore cooperation contracts and only a few withdrawing farmers reflect the trustful cooperation between con-tract farmers and Westfleisch eG. By end of 2011 West-fleisch 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 Trans-paRind-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 process-ing segment Westfleisch could fall on 31 BestKalb-con-tracts with ca. 40 000 calves.
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“, West-fleisch ”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 sustaina-bility – 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 cooper-ativeness of our farmers to provide capital and participate in the group’s growth.
By 31.12.2011 we had 4 539 members supporting the coop-erative, 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.
• The 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.
• For year 2011 the gross dividend of the Westfleisch eG for the business assets of the members and shareholders of the Westfleisch Finanz AG will amount to unchanged 4.5 %. Shareholders as well as cooperation farmers par-ticipate in the successful corporation’s development with an attractive interest yield on the brought-in capital.
• Westfleisch attaches great importance to a sound capital endowment: The Westfleisch eG reports by 31.12.2011 an owner equity of about 132 m Euro. Including our net profit of about 3.9 m Euro an equity ratio of ca. 42 % re-

sults. The owner’s equity could be increased in absolute terms by about 13 m Euro.
• Owing to the increase in quantity and the development of raw material prices the Westfleisch eG total assets grew strongly to 314 m Euro.
• In the recent year we aimed on repaying the capital of the silent partners interest (”Mezzanine Capital“) amounting to ca. 24,2 m Euro to our bank partners in year 2013 while at the same time increasing the profit sharing asset to approx. 25 m Euro. We have achieved both targets al-ready early 2012.
The redemption of the silent partners interest will lead to a significant interest relief.
Our ambitious investment plans in context with ”Compass 2015“ are long-term backed by credits and owner’s equity. Also the increase of assets of the Westfleisch Finanz AG with 2.4 m Euros of shares issued within a few weeks contributed to the financial backup.

Markets for animals for slaughter
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 endan-gered. Nevertheless, the prices dropped dramatically but also recovered quickly.
The downturn on the domestic market could be compen-sated 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.
Another incident last year affected the German pork market. On 4 October 2011 the new mandatory accounting formula for the AutoFOM for automatic classification of carcasses became effective. Aiming on the protection of vested rights for senders, Westfleisch was the first corporation in the meat industry to present a new accounting model in late summer, which now – after some difficulties in the adoption stage – led to a more value-based payment.
less piglets, firm pricesThe recovery of prices on the pig markets with uptrend end of the previous year was essential to compensate for the in recent years exploding feed costs and increased invest-ments. The market development had several pig keeper quit production and others will decide similar when in 2013 the EU-wide mandatory group housing of dry sows becomes effective.
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 recommend-ed 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.
> In 10 years the pig slaughter capacity increased by 35 %

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.
• Westfleisch takes part in research to obtain recent know-ledge regarding species-appropriate pig husbandry and methods to avoid castration and tail docking. Since 2010, Westfleisch processes boars as well, first only from animal welfare production, now also from special boar fattening
contracts. Meanwhile the capacity of boars for slaughter amounts to 5 000 heads per week.
• The risk oriented visual meat examination, a concept Westfleisch has developed and that the EU permitted as alternative, was introduced in all abattoirs of the West-fleisch eG. Together with the health data of the individual locations, it provides more security in food assessment.
> The pig price curve shows for Westfleisch in 2011 again a recur-ring, 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.

Pigs Piglets
Import of living pigs to Germany
m
less sowsThe pig stock has significantly dwindled, in the EU in the last year according to statement of the EU Commission by – 3.5 %, in Germany by – 5.5 %. The group housing of dry sows, mandatory as of 2013 due to animal protection law, acts as a catalyst and is a factor in the structural change and downturn of piglet production. By end of 2011, only half of the piglet producing farms in Germany had established the group housing. Experts expect that 10 % of the farms will cease production.
> As the piglet production is dwindling in Germany, farmers here who are in the piglet fattening business are depend-ent 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 %.

Markets for animals for slaughter
Cattle: market slightly down
The moderate decline of slaughter figures of the cattle market continued in 2011.
Since 2003, the cattle stock in Germany has reduced by 6.7 %, round here 900 000 less bulls and cattle are fattened. In the recent year alone, ca. 2.1 % less male cattle was slaughtered nationwide then in the year before.
At Westfleisch in contrast, the number of cattle processed (incl. calves) remained almost stable with a slight plus of 0.4 %.
With a degree of self-sufficiency of 113 %, the export of beef from Germany remains important and necessary, even though the exports have reduced by some 10 % compared to 2010. In 2012, this trend will probably continue on Euro-pean scale, in Germany the level remains firm with 0.3 %.
Biogas plants and high feeding costs intensify the competi-tion of bull fattening farmers in their rivalry for areas. At the same time, while supply is short on the inland market, the demand for beef is increasing. Higher prices are the logical consequence. Hence the price curve (see chart above) lay significantly above the prices of all years before: During the first four months 2012, bull prices moved with 3.64 € each kg even to a record high.
The prices in 2011 for cows and heifers too ranked clearly above the level of year 2010, in case of heifers by +0.30 € each kg higher (2011: 3.20 €/kg) and in case of cows aver-agely by almost +0.50 € each kg more (2.79 €/kg). Gratifying are also following Westfleisch figures: 67 % of the cattle slaughtering are bulls. Fleckvieh bulls (Simmentaler) account
for almost half of the processed bulls. The share of cutting increased for the first time to 90.8 %.
Positive as well is the growing percentage of QS cattle: While for bulls the 80 % rate has already been cracked the share of female QS cattle, despite its clear increase in 2010, left some-thing to be desired.
> Since mid 2011 the prices for beef are considerably rising. Even the average price is higher than the regular price in previous years.

Farmers benefit from contract farmingNearly three quarter of all pigs slaughtered at Westfleisch come from contract farms. In case of cattle, 43 % are deliv-ered under contract to Westfleisch. 58.3 % of the bonus pigs derive from companies with more than 4 000 head of live-stock. 22.5 % maintain this volume as annual supply rate.
The farmers benefit: 2011 bonuses, special bonuses and dividends amounting to ca. 22 m Euro were distributed, a total of 15.5 m Euro bonuses thereof alone for contract pigs (3.38 Euro each BestSchwein). Dependent from the delivery scope, a bonus from 4 to 20 Euro is granted for Transpa-Rind-contracts as well as a revenue dependent special bonus per animal.
In the decade between 2002 and 2011 ca. 155 m Euro bonuses, special bonuses and dividends were distributed to members and shareholders.
> Over 2 200 farmers are contract partners for the supply of pigs for slaughter; more than 1 250 famers have a TranspaRind-con-tract. For piglets, sows and calves, too, we have regular coop-eration partners.
> In ten years approx. 155 m Euro bonuses, special bonuses and dividends were distributed to members and shareholders.

”Aktion Tierwohl” Initiative
Consumers appreciate growing animal welfare
Consumers attach more and more importance to responsi-ble 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.
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
it is now possible to ascertain by means of various test crite-ria 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.ak-tion-tierwohl.de) outperforms the statutory provisions of the animal protection livestock husbandry guideline in 15 points. Who fattens pigs for “Aktion Tierwohl” must not cas-trate piglets. The percentage of boars slaughtered at West-fleisch increased considerably, notably in the second half of 2011.
1 Million animals aspired this yearSince middle of last year the products with the yellow Tier-wohl label are available in retail outlets, at present in ap-prox. 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. How-ever, ”Aktion Tierwohl” prod-ucts are requested as export article as well: Especially in Scandinavia the “Aktion Tier-wohl” is successful as individ-ual brand.”
Christian Leding, Managing Director
Meat Center Coesfeld
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 livestock are on stand-by and pre-audited. 2012 the pro-gramme shall be extended to 1 m animals per year.
In July 2011 an Info Path for realisation of the ”Aktion Tier-wohl“ criteria was prepared in Meat Center Coesfeld. More than 40 expert delegations meanwhile gathered informa-tion about the ”Aktion Tierwohl”. That confirms the rele-vance of the subject and the great interest also in the retail sector. With its initiative, Westfleisch is so far the only cor-poration in Germany offering meat and sausage from an own animal welfare programme in market-relevant quanti-ties.
Scientists estimate the sales potential for this kind of meat consumption on 15 to 30 %. In the other European coun-tries there are comparable market presences for animal welfare product ranges, e.g. in the Netherlands with ”star meat“ concept or the French ”Label Rouge”.

Healthy animals feel well and deliver healthy food. Our farm-ers have an elementary interest in their livestock being sound. Since 2010, Westfleisch has hence developed a health index for pig breeding and fattening farms in context with the visual meat examination. In addition to the average mor-tality rate and the daily weight gain Westfleisch included right from the beginning the recording of drug use. Accord-ing to the individual ”treatment code” reliable conclusions/statements on animal health and well being can be made.
Antibiotics are and remain necessary due to animal protec-tion reasons if an animal is sick. However, the critical general debate on drug use, which needs to be further reduced, is justified. In the framework of the ”Aktion Tierwohl“ West-fleisch will test as of 1 January 2013 to cease antibiotic treat-ment during fattening of livestock having 40 kg and more weight.
For two years, Westfleisch contract farms have been assisted and advised by the Westfleisch consulting veterinarian.

Markets for Livestock
Quality right from the beginning
The Westfleisch livestock branch cares for the supply of best and healthy animals to pig-, veal-, and bull fattening farms.
• With 16 100 calves Westfleisch was able to sell 2 % more youngs for bull fattening in 2011 than in the previous year. Each week averagely 330 Simmental calves from Bavaria are at first procured to 15 specialised, contract bound and QS certified breeding farms. The Westfleisch livestock center as supplier of 200 kg calves for fattening is the link to the bull fattening farms who order the calves for fattening approx. one week before delivery. In West-phalia bull fattening farmers often prefer ready calves for fattening and leave the breeding to farmers specialised in this business. They can score later with ”4 x D“, i.e. born, bred, fattened and slaughtered in Germany, the D stands for Deutschland.
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 Fleck-vieh 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.
2011 the prices for bulls for slaughter have further consoli-dated to an average of 3.55 € each kg dead weight, becom-ing more expensive by ca. 100 € compared to the previous year. Even though calves for fattening cost about 50 € more, the outcome is positive.
Westfleisch is nationwide the only livestock broker who exclusively procures calves for white meat (also referred to as light meat) fattening, whereas we ourselves do not fatten calves. 2011 the number of calves declined from 29 500 to 26 740. Milk powder being the main feeding basis made the white meat fattening expensive. Some fattening farmers switched to rosé meat fattening (slaughter age > 8 months).
• For pig keepers and especially for piglet producers 2011 was an unusually difficult year. It seems never before pig-let prices dropped so early in spring as last year. They fell to an average price level of 35 € for a 25-kg piglet and did not rise again for about twenty weeks. Only since Novem-ber 2011 they have recovered. In March 2012, the basic piglet price was 58 € per piglet, in case of certain batch sizes or applied vaccinations, extra pay falls due.
The market volatility is further picking up. Bringing about rapid progress of the structural change and concentration in the sow husbandry sector while the piglet business is get-ting more and more international. Many farms, whether due to lack of size or reasons of age, completely abandoned pig-let production. Furthermore, urgently required reserves are lacking, e.g. for the mandatory conversion to group housing of dry sows in 2013.
On this background, the fattening sector remains depend-ent on import piglets: with about 2 m piglets Westfleisch is still the biggest piglet marketer in Germany. Approx. 40 % de-rive from the Netherlands or Denmark, tendency increasing.
Bigger capacities of livestock for fattening, fewer housing dates, and larger fattening compartments require ever big-ger piglet batch sizes. At the same time, many fattening farmers attach great importance to direct relationship to the supplier – even in case of imported animals. Westfleisch guarantees close contact. Upon request, the piglets always have the same livestock origin and identical health status.

All Westfleisch piglets from Germany avail of the ”piglet pass-port“, certifying the high company health status based on semi annual examinations. Three quarter of the Dutch pig-lets are meanwhile provided with a hygiene passport as well. Westfleisch is striving to achieve the piglet passport also for all import piglets. The piglet passport, successfully imple-mented for eight years, is a crucial factor to detect diseases, react with preventive vaccination instead of applying a late treatment, and hence reduce the use of drugs in the long run.
The farmers on their part have contributed a lot in the re-cent years to less fragile, stress resistant piglets growing up in new stables with good climate and, if possible, going with-out medication. Westfleisch supports and uses this develop-ment: For the “Aktion Tierwohl” antibiotics-free fattening of 40 kg and above animal weight is intended next year.
Westfleisch piglet marketingLast year Westfleisch has marketed about 2 m piglets. Due to the structural change the number of sold piglets in Westphalia and Low Saxony declined by 6.1 % in 2011. With an average of 300 sows per farm, 250 to 300 piglets per batch can be offered. Piglet batches deriving from East German farms are ca. three times larger. In 2011 to-tally 1 063 900 piglets were sold from there, that is a plus of 4.6 % compared to 2010.
German piglets are also sought after abroad: 2011 West-fleisch exported about 400 000 piglets to Russia, Poland, Romania, and other East European countries, but also to neighbouring EU countries. Gratifying was among others the export to Poland and the Ukraine.

Markets for fresh meat
solid consumption
The sector trend was rather moderate, whereas Westfleisch could sell even 6.3 % more products in the market in 2011. 883 000 tons of pork, beef and veal was brought on the markets as much as never before. By this, the cooperative Westphalian group maintained its rank no. 3 among the top German meat marketers.
The export growth, particularly to third countries, account-ed to a great deal for this development. However, in Ger-many and Europe as well the meat consumption is constant on a relatively stable level. Though in the recent twenty years, the per capita consumption in Germany declined from 65.9 kg to 61.2 kg per year from 1990 to 2010, pork remains the no. 1 with ca. 40 kg per capita and year on the Germans’ popularity scale.
Statistically each German ate 8.4 kg beef and veal last year. Most consumers see meat still as a component of a balanced diet. The EU predicts therefore for the 27 member countries a fairly stable consumption by 2020. In the East European countries, the consumption will probably rise owing to the growing standard of living.
> Solid upward: Since 2002, there is a clear upward trend for Westfleisch in turnover and sales. In year 2011 the turnover amounted to 2.2 bn €, sales to 883 000 tons.

taking up trendsConsumers wish to know how the animals are kept, which criteria are applying, and how animal welfare can be meas-ured. Westfleisch with its “Aktion Tierwohl” did pioneer work in the recent year and presented within very short time a practical and verifiable solution. Midyear 2011 the first prod-ucts bearing the eye-catching yellow label could be found in retail outlets. Meanwhile the ten meat- and ten sausage and ham products, among them salami, bacon and Westphalian ham, minute steaks and minced meat were listed in ca. 1 250 supermarkets. Consumers accept well the new special seg-ment of the sausage assortment in particular. Sausage speci-alities are sold with a 10 % mark-up.
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 orient-ed husbandry. At the same time, food retailers signalise that they recognise consumer expectations and care about the production conditions in the pre-stage.
Outside the organic food range, retailers can presently order meat and sausage with an animal welfare label for verifiable improved keeping and breeding conditions solely from Westfleisch.
> Meat and sausage are popular in Germany. Owing to popula-tion structure and Zeitgeist a slight reduction is to be expect-ed here, while in other countries demand will grow.

Quality from the farmerThe Westfleisch Partnership for Quality as quality manage-ment system is meanwhile unimaginable to do without for the entire Group. Our accomplishments make a dent in the meat sector:
• Criteria elaborated by Westfleisch are presently discussed in the QS-System: The Quality Assurance System (QS) is essential for marketing meat in Germany. It guarantees consistent traceability in the production chain. While for pigs (> 90 % QS) and bulls (> 80 % QS) already a high per-centage of supplies originate from QS-audited husbandry, the share of cows and heifers with ca. 49 % can still be improved.
• Westfleisch knows its farmers and is aware how they pro-duce. That provides the marketer with a high creditability. Many of our suppliers present themselves in farm por-trayals; they stand for what they do with their good name. The farmers’ portrayals meaningfully supplement the “Aktion Tierwohl”.
• When we are talking with our customers, it is the prac-ticed cooperative notion that counts. At Westfleisch, farmers are not only suppliers but also shareholders and jointly responsible partners.
anuga 2011 very successfulAt the world’s leading trade fair, the Anuga in Cologne, Westfleisch was honoured for ”Aktion Tierwohl“. The corporation was granted – as one of only two enterprises of the meat industry – the ”taste11-Award“, by which particularly innovative products are rewarded.

Fresh, fast and (almost) ready
Convenience from Westfleisch gets fresh impetusThe 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 €.
Finest relishFor a long time WestfalenLand has considered been as specialist for self-service beef. Product novelties like the “Beef second steak” or the premium brand meat programme “Simmental” catch consumers.
• Using the latest cutting technology the meat parts are cut clean, uniformly and almost loss-free, placed onto a flat tray and MAP packed. Prepared in a second the beef is a real relish.
• The meat of pedigree Simmental bulls, delivered by Westphalian bull fattening farms, excels in highest quality, a fine fat structure (marbled beef), and good juice retention properties. Best requisites for a special culinary experience.
With an average of 950 employees, the company is very flex-ible to react quickly on customer desires and seasonal varia-tions, 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 productIn 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.
WestfalenLand has direct influence on the raw material qual-ity because the meat is obtained from Westfleisch slaughter facilities. WestfalenLand thereby definitely proves the meat’s regional origin.
Investment in new building and technologyIn 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 ex-pand. For this purpose, WestfalenLand has further intensi-fied 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 certain product lines. In the current year, WestfalenLand will further extend the production site in Münster.
Ice-cold upwardWithin the term of one year, IceHouse Convenience has already well established as supplier for the food process-ing sector and professional caterers. Up to 100 tons per week are meanwhile produced, tendency further rising. The Westfleisch specialist for frozen convenience prod-ucts is a serious competitor with its deep-frozen, appor-tionable minced meat.
The frozen patty (Burger) completely manufactured with-out 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.Deliveries go to customers nationwide and to European countries.

Markets for meat and sausage
Innovative and efficient
The Westfleisch subsidiary Gustoland, specialist for fine ham and sausage products asserted its position well in 2011:
• While the tonnage remained constant, the turnover grew by more than 10 %. Reasons are the price increase for meat and a rising value of certain cuts. Bellies and fat cuts are more and more sold abroad. They improve hence the value added but are lacking on the other hand as raw material in the own sausage production.
• 2011 was a difficult year for sausage production. The purchase prices for meat significantly rose last year, unfortunately with hardly any effect on the market price for sausage. That the Gustoland sausage sales remained stable with a plus of 1 % is a respectable success on this background.
• Already 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 real-ised 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 ”Clean-Label“ products are a real innovation. They partly do com-pletely without additives and are refined only with salt and natural spices, like in the traditional butchery. The first prod-uct, a thin sliced “roast pork“ sells well and is presently com-plemented by the ”smoked pork roast“ Further articles of this assortment – roast beef or roast veal – are in planning stage.
awardedAll sausage products of ”Aktion Tier-wohl“ come from Gustoland produc-tion. The meat for it deliveries the company in Coesfeld, specialised in the raw material programme. The new, exclusive product line is mar-ket- und image building. At the Anuga 2011 the sausage specialities were honoured with the “taste11” award.
In 2012, Gustoland received another high commendation in context with the ”Anuga FoodTec“, taking place in even years: For the development of an innovative smoke wash-ing system, the company obtained the ”International Food Tec Award” in silver.
Animal protection is not only relevant in the production of sausage: in 2011 Westfleisch Erkenschwick optimised and comprehensively modernised the waiting pens for the ani-mals for slaughter. Broader stunning chutes, more watering places, a better illumination regime with light/dark zones as well as separate compartments and noise protection meas-urements ensure that the livestock relaxes better after transport and has less stress.
High investment, lower consumptionIn the framework of the strategy Charta ”Westfleisch Com-pass 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 con-sumption was 9.5 % lower than in the previous year.

Export markets
Export is the driving engine
The growth markets for Westfleisch are presently located in Far East and Eastern Europe. Last year the Westfleisch export to third countries soared by +56 %. The Westfleisch export of meat and meat products increased again significantly. More than each second pig, namely 51.6 %, out of the Westfleisch catchment area is presently sold abroad after having been processed in cuts and joints. The export share for beef amounted to slightly fallen 32.6 % by the end of the year. The group sold an overall of 42 % of its meat products abroad. This were 335 400 tons in the recent year and there-fore ca. 13 % of all German meat exports.
Eastern Europe: Market well developedSales in Eastern Europe turned out very satisfying:
• Russia with 15 % Westfleisch market share in the German total export (2011) is one of the most important markets with attractive sales options abroad for our corporation.
The new company-own distribution organisation ”Uni-Food“ in Moscow will assist us in promoting and stabilis-ing business relations via the Joint Venture with ”Fresh & Frozen”.
Who wants to be busy in export needs to deal in detail with the hygiene and quality guidelines prevailing in the target country. The Westfleisch slaughter facilities comply meticulously with these requirements.
• Beside Russia, the Ukraine too has grown to a noteworthy and important sales market for Westfleisch. Since end of 2011, next to wholesalers and meat product factories we also supply the first major retailers with fresh meat ”made in Westphalia“.
• In Romania Westfleisch did well in spite of the economic crisis. Westfleisch will invest there in the current year approx. 1 m € and upgrades an own efficient processing and refining company for self-service fresh meat accord-ing to our German standards (volume: 600 tons per week).
• Last year Westfleisch delivered 8 % of the German exports to Poland and 12 % to the Czech Republic.
• In Hungary we avail of on own distribution office since 2005. The turnover could indeed slightly be improved, but owing to required higher prices, sales dropped in the third year in succession by 4 % compared to the recent

year. However, Hungary remains important because from their neighbour countries like Macedonia, Slovenia and Croatia are served.
• The export to the Baltic States has developed very gratify-ing 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 coun-tries.
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.
• Regarding the marketing of individual cuts (especially pork bellies), the Eastern European countries compete directly with Asia. They are strongly demanded in Hunga-ry, Romania, Poland, and Russia. At the same time, South Korea is the worldwide no. 1 importer of pork bellies.
asia: Westfleisch leadingThe development on the Asian markets was and is exciting.
• 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 quan-tities. 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.
• To Korea Westfleisch could deliver not earlier than May 2011 owing to veterinary reasons in North Rhine-West-phalia. With a sales quantity of 3 300 tons we started on the market with an immediate success. After a collapse of their own production caused by foot and mouth disease, Korea is dependent on imports. Germany serves this mar-ket as second largest supplier with 5.4 %, in 2012 one fifth of thereof originates from Westfleisch companies.
• Singapore 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 mi-nority living there.
Europe: Exports increasedThe 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.
• 40 % of the Westfleisch exports still make their way in the bordering Benelux countries. The result in sales and turn-over could be improved again by about 10 % compared to the year before.
• Based 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 sup-port of two native language employees. There are already promising successes in the FoodService division and with direct orders from local retailers.
Future prospectsFor 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 Organi-sation (WTO) will probably have a positive effect on the German meat export.

FVZ Westfood: for connoisseursFor years, the market share of ready meals has been grow-ing. 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 conven-ience range in the previous year. It is true that the out-of-home 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.
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.
Bruns: optimised processesBruns 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 exploi-tation.
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 com-missioned.
> Quick, delicious, convenient: Fast moving consumer goods like the above ”Schnitzel-Wrap” are made from frozen products of FVZ-Westfood.

Coldstore Hamm: the gate to the worldEvery 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.
• Last 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.
• Coldstore 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 need-ed for export are issued in Hamm.
• Owing to capacity extension Coldstore Hamm could in-crease 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.
Westpet Janke: More and freshSpecialised 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 sup-plies 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 posi-tive: 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 process-ing 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 growingLast year Westfleisch has set course for a stronger involve-ment 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 coop-eration 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 mar-keter 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 inno-vative 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 efficientWestfleisch 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 invested 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 consump-tion 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.

Employees
Good employees are the companys’ backbone
We aim to enthuse young people for us, we visit apprentice-ship fairs, offer practical experience times, cooperate with schools, high schools and educational institutions. In 2911, 41 young people started an apprenticeship at Westfleisch in eight different occupations. What makes us pride: In exami-nations, our apprentices rank in the top group.
• The Westfleisch trainee programme, established three years ago, is very successful. 21 of the so far 24 trainees remained in the company. The trainee programme, scheduled to take max. two years, is individually arranged for the attendees regarding time and content.
• The Westfleisch qualification programme promotes the social and methodical competence in particular. Employ-ees learn e.g. conversation techniques, moderation, pres-entation, negotiation techniques. In addition, subject-specific and juristic issues are addressed, with overly positive effect on everyday practice and understanding of processes as well as interdisciplinary teamwork.
• Westfleisch purposefully attends high-school fairs. The intention behind it is to receive more applications and intensify the cooperation with science institutions.
Pension scheme, minimum wageWestfleisch invests annually approx. 800 000 € in the com-pany pension scheme. Employees can further supplement the company’s grant by deferred compensation of addition-al payment like holiday pay or Christmas bonus.
Westfleisch obliges its service providers to pay the ”West-fleisch minimum wage“ of 7.50 €/h. Breach of contract is subject to penalties, the withhold money is donated.
Internal improvement suggestion systemA (my) good idea: Westfleisch staff is actively involved in optimising production and processes or reduce risks. The quality of suggestions improves year by year. In 2011, with 61 of total 71 the rate of ideas realised was as high as never before.
A permanent task remains the improvement of work safety and personal health protection. Though in 2011 no life-threatening accident happened, the rather low thousand-man-rate (subject to registration number of accidents at work per 1 000 employees) of 2010, which was 71.6, could not be sustained and slightly increased to 77.8 (Group with-out Wenova).
our staffIn 2011, the number of employees slightly fell to 1,861 (– 3.3 %). In the Westfleisch eG the number of employees remained almost constant with 779 (reporting date 31.12.2011). The subsidiaries employed 1,078 staff mem-bers.
Most part of the personnel (1,667) works full-time, 77 work part-time and 117 are apprentices. Times of absence involving continued remuneration developed very gratifying in 2011: The rate was 0.36 % lower than in the previous year, now 4.59 %.

über 22-jähriger Tätigkeit im Sommer in
den Ruhestand gehen.
Wir freuen uns, dass am 1. April sein
Nachfolger, Carsten Schruck, seine
Tätigkeit für die WESTFLEISCH aufgenom-
men hat.
Carsten Schruck ist 36 Jahre alt, verheira-
tet und hat zwei Söhne. Er war Mitglied
der Geschäftsleitung der VR Unterneh-
merberatung GmbH – einem gemein-
samen Tochter unternehmen der WGZ-
und DZ-Bank – und verantwortete das
Beratungsgeschäft im Agrarbereich und
der Nahrungs mittelindustrie.
Wir wünschen Herrn Schruck einen guten
Start in der Unternehmensgruppe, viel
Geschick und Erfolg für seine Vorstand-
stätigkeit und natürlich auch das Quent-
chen Glück, das man für diese Aufgabe
braucht. ■
Seit dem 1. September
2009 greift in der Euro-
päischen Union das Be-
rufskraftfahrerqualifika-
tionsgesetz (BKrFQG).
Um über das Jahr 2014
hinaus gewerblich Gü-
terkraftverkehr ausüben
zu können, müssen bis
dahin alle Kraftfahrer
der Führerscheinklasse
CE (ehemals Klasse 2)
fünf Module à sieben
Zeitstunden absolviert
haben.
Vorwiegend werden diese Schulungen
durch angemeldete Fahrschulen sowie
Bildungscenter angeboten. Gemessen an
dem zu erwartenden Schulungs volumen
von 2.000.000 Kraftfahrern à fünf Lehr-
gängen ist allerdings damit zu rechnen,
dass es Engpässe bei dieser Ausbildung
geben wird.
In Erwartung dieser Situation wurde im
Hause Wetralog bereits 2008 mit der
Ausbildung von Pascal Wiesner zum
Fahrschullehrer begonnen.
Diese Ausbildung schloss Herr Wiesner im
Juli 2010 ab, so dass die Wetralog GmbH
seit dem 15. September 2010 vom Regie-
rungspräsidenten Münster am Standort
Coesfeld zertifiziert wurde, Schulungen
im Rahmen der Berufskraftfahrerweiter-
qualifikation auszuführen.
Neben der Planungssicherheit bis zum
1. September 2014 alle eigenen Mitarbei-
ter entsprechend qualifiziert zu haben,
kann hier z.B. in Sachen Ladungs-
sicherheit auf die Besonderheiten der
Schlachtvieh- und Fleischtransporte ein-
gegangen werden.
Mittlerweile haben sich die jeweils sams-
tags stattfindenden Schulungen im
Hause etabliert und bis Ende März hatten
bereits über 200 Mitarbeiter ihr erstes
Modul „Image“ absolviert.
Nun werden bei den Regierungs-
präsidenten Detmold und Arnsberg
weitere Räumlichkeiten der Westfleisch
eG als Schulungsräume abgenommen, so
dass zukünftig an allen Fleischcentern
Schulungen stattfinden können. ■

Nachdem im letzten Jahr ein Rück-gang an Vorschlägen zu verzeichnen war, wollen wir Sie nun auffordern mitzumachen bei unserem Ziel „100+“.
Wir glauben fest an Ihren Einfallsreich-tum. Stark begonnen haben wieder einmal die Mitarbeiter am Standort Lübbecke, die bisher 18 Verbesse-rungsvorschläge eingereicht haben. Hierunter waren auch Verbesserun-gen im Bereich der Arbeitssicherheit. Da uns dieses Thema sehr am Herzen liegt haben wir uns entschlossen, die ermittelten Prämien für Verbesse-rungsvorschläge aus dem Bereich zu verdoppeln. Ein weiterer Grund mit zu machen bei „(M) Eine gute Idee“. ■

WESTFLEISCH – Wir bei Westfleisch
3 April 2011
Die Auszubildenden aus dem 3. Lehrjahr kümmern sich jedes Jahr um die Weih-nachtsfeier für die Mitarbeiter in Coes-feld. In den Jahren zuvor wurde immer Geld für kleine Präsente eingesammelt, die dann am Tag der Feier an die Mit-arbeiter verschenkt wurden.
Weihnachten 2010 haben sich die Auszu-bildenden überlegt, dass mit dem Geld einmal etwas Anderes gemacht werden soll und haben der Kinderkrebshilfe in Münster eine Spende zukommen lassen!
Am Mittwoch, dem 24.11.2010, besuch-ten die Auszubildenden die Kinderkrebs-station der Uniklinik in Münster, um einen Scheck in Höhe von 1.400 € zu überrei-chen (700 € Mitarbeiterspende und 700 € Spende vom Betriebsrat). Sie konnten sich dort ein Bild machen,
wo das Geld hingeht. Frau Hüttemann, Vorsitzende der Kinderkrebshilfe Müns-ter e.V., erläuterte wofür die Spende verwendet wird:
Das Geld wird für ganz unter schiedliche Dinge genutzt, z.B. für sozial schwache Eltern, die sich den langen Aufenthalt in Münster bei ihren Kindern nicht leisten können. Diese bekommen dann einen täg-lichen Zuschuss oder die Übernachtung im Eltern-haus kostenlos. Des Weite-ren werden die Spenden auch für neue medizinische Geräte, Spielsachen für die Kinder oder in der Weih-nachtszeit für gesellige Ad-ventsnachmittage und auch für kleinere Weihnachtsge-schenke verwendet.
Weitere Aktivitäten der Kinderkrebshilfe Münster werden ausführlich unter www.kinderkrebshilfe-muenster.de beschrieben. ■

Nachdem im letzten Jahr ein Rück-gang an Vorschlägen zu verzeichnen war, wollen wir Sie nun auffordern mitzumachen bei unserem Ziel „100+“.
Wir glauben fest an Ihren Einfallsreich-tum. Stark begonnen haben wieder einmal die Mitarbeiter am Standort Lübbecke, die bisher 18 Verbesse-rungsvorschläge eingereicht haben. Hierunter waren auch Verbesserun-gen im Bereich der Arbeitssicherheit. Da uns dieses Thema sehr am Herzen liegt haben wir uns entschlossen, die ermittelten Prämien für Verbesse-rungsvorschläge aus dem Bereich zu verdoppeln. Ein weiterer Grund mit zu machen bei „(M) Eine gute Idee“. ■

….der Winter ist vorbei, so schreiben es
die Zeitungen. Welcher Winter? Dieses
nasskalte und trübe Wetter, kaum
Schnee, kaum sonnige Tage mit knackig
kalten Temperaturen, die zum Spazieren-
gehen eingeladen haben. Aber was soll’s,
alles Schnee von gestern, denn:Der Frühling kommt! Alles erwacht, die
Natur, Körper und Geist, alle Anzeichen
stehen auf Go und jeder packt mit an.
Auch wir sind bereit, uns den kommen-
den Herausforderungen zu stellen.
Hierzu ist es mir wichtig, ein Thema wie-
der aufzugreifen, das immer noch aus-
baufähig ist, das betriebliche Vorschlags-
wesen.Die Idee, die dahintersteckt ist ebenso
einfach wie genial; Sie sagen uns, wie wir
Betriebsabläufe verbessern können, da-
durch erleichtern Sie sich die Arbeit, wir
sparen Ressourcen und können Ihnen
eine Prämie zahlen. Auch kleinste Verän-
derungen optimieren die Prozesse. Eine
Anerkennungsprämie für vernünftige
Vorschläge, die jedoch nicht umsetzbar
sind, zahlen wir genau so gerne, wie eine
höhere Prämie für umsetzbare Vor-
schläge. Wichtig ist, dass Sie sich über
Ihren Arbeitsplatz und dessen Umge-
bung Gedanken machen. Der Unfall-
schutz, die körperliche Belastung, die
Arbeitsabläufe, Sie haben es in der Hand
etwas zu verbessern. Insbesondere die
Arbeitssicherheit liegt uns am Herzen
und zahlen seit letztem Jahr den doppel-
ten Prämienbetrag aus, wenn ein ent-
sprechender Vorschlag eingereicht wird.Nun sind Sie an der Reihe. Zeigen Sie uns,
dass Sie Ideen haben, die das Arbeiten
einfacher, besser und vor allem siche-
rer machen. Gehen Sie auf die Mitar-
beiter der Personalabteilung zu. Sch-
reiben Sie den Vorschlag auf oder
teilen Sie uns diesen mit. Wir notieren
ihn, lassen in durch die Fachabteilung
prüfen und gemeinsam mit dem Be-
triebsrat entscheiden wir über Ihren An-
trag.
Wir möchten Sie ausdrücklich ermutigen,
uns Vorschläge einzureichen, Sie können
nur gewinnen. Lassen Sie uns gemein-
sam das Jahr 2012 mit positiven Verän-
derungen im Umfeld Ihres Arbeitsplatzes
zu einem erfolgreichen Jahr werden. ■
