  Pig slaughterhouse De Wit is acquired by PALI Group. With the acquisition, leading meat trading and production company PALI Group will strengthen its position in the pig industry. With a slaughtering capacity of no less than 750.000 pigs per year, De Wit Slaughterhouse is an important player in the market. Although veal production is PALI Group’s cornerstone activity, the company is an important player in the value chain of pigs as well, with nearly 25% of sales coming from pig trading activities. The acquisition enables PALI Group to continue to vertically integrate as it did in with its earlier acquisitions in the veal industry. De Wit Slaughterhouse will continue to operate under the name of PALI Geldrop.
