The Rothkötter Group is a family-owned northern German company based in Meppen-Versen that has been producing animal feed and chicken meat products since 1959. The group employs approximately 4,500 people across seven production sites in northern Germany and generates a revenue of around 1.5 billion euros. Its core business covers the production of pig and poultry compound feed, breeding operations at the Emsland Brüterei, and slaughter and processing at Emsland Frischgeflügel and Celler Land Frischgeflügel. A key differentiator is its complete vertical integration, which consolidates all process steps from hatching eggs through fattening to meat processing and logistics. Products are distributed to agricultural customers and the trade sector as well as directly to end consumers through company-owned retail outlets. Annual compound feed output exceeds one million tons, while the meat processing facilities rank among the most modern slaughterhouses in Germany and Europe. Rothkötter Mischfutterwerk GmbH is a family business.
