Overview

UNA-HAKRA is a German feed brand and company focused on the nutrition of pigs. According to its own corporate communication, it has been applying its full expertise to producing first-class feed, developing future-proof feeding concepts and advising pig-keeping farms for more than 50 years. The brand positions itself not merely as a feed supplier but as a partner to pig farms, with the long-standing loyalty of its customers cited as evidence of that relationship. Its stated guiding principle is the safety of humans and animals, and it emphasizes a consistently applied quality assurance system and process-controlled production flows. UNA-HAKRA's product range covers complete feed (Alleinfuttermittel), protein concentrates (Eiweißkonzentrate), supplements (Ergänzer) and mineral feed (Mineralfuttermittel). Because no farm is identical to another, the company deploys field sales staff who assess needs on site and develop a corresponding feeding strategy. The company also states that it deliberately engages with the criteria of sustainable pig farming, aiming to help ensure that the sector continues to exist in Germany in the future. Within its corporate group, UNA-HAKRA holds the core competencies of manufacturing and distributing pig feed. The foundation of that group was laid in 1938 by H. Wilhelm Schaumann. The agricultural group today comprises 25 companies with 6 production companies in many European countries and cooperation partners in Asia, Africa and America, and it employs more than 1,000 people. UNA-HAKRA presents itself as proud to be part of this successful group and to benefit from the innovative strength of its workforce. The brand communicates values of performance, safety and trust (Leistung – Sicherheit – Vertrauen) and stresses openness, transparency and traceable processes. It invites customers to ask questions about its products and procedures and to visit its plant. Its market focus is Germany and, through its parent group, Europe, with the group's cooperation partners extending to other continents.

History

UNA-HAKRA operates within an agricultural corporate group whose foundation was laid in 1938 by H. Wilhelm Schaumann. The company itself states that it has been applying its full expertise to producing first-class feed, developing future-proof feeding concepts and advising pig-keeping farms for more than 50 years. Over that period it has built a customer base whose long-standing loyalty it presents as proof that it is understood not merely as a feed supplier but as a partner to pig-keeping farms. The group of which UNA-HAKRA is part has grown into an agricultural association that today comprises 25 companies, including 6 production companies, in many European countries, alongside cooperation partners in Asia, Africa and America. The group employs more than 1,000 people. Within this structure, UNA-HAKRA holds the core competencies of manufacturing and distributing pig feed. UNA-HAKRA describes its own development as a departure from what it calls outmoded milling romanticism, toward production based on a consistently applied quality assurance system and process-controlled production flows. It emphasizes that the safety of humans and animals stands above all else, and that trust arises through openness, transparency and traceable processes. The company also frames its work in terms of sustainability, stating that it deliberately engages with the criteria of sustainable pig farming and wants to contribute to ensuring that the pig-keeping profession continues to exist in Germany in the future. It notes the many millions of consumers of pork as daily proof that the sector is needed. In its customer approach, UNA-HAKRA deploys field sales staff who record each farm's needs on site and create a corresponding feeding strategy, reflecting the company's view that no farm is identical to another. Its product range spans complete feed, protein concentrates, supplements and mineral feed. The company invites customers to ask questions about its products and procedures and to visit its plant.
