The slaughterhouse of Apostolos Papadopoulos Meat Company has been operating since 1997 in the company’s Production Park in Lamprino, Xanthi. 

With two production lines, one exclusively for cattle and one for pigs, sheep and goats, the slaughters are carried out in accordance with the appropriate practices, as defined by the European standards. 

The slaughterhouse serves the needs of a significant number of cooperating local breeders and the company’s needs for fresh meat, meat for cured meats, meat products and packaged frozen products. 

Slaughters are carried out following a predetermined planning and the entire process is supervised by the authorized veterinarians of the Xanthi’s Regional Agricultural Economy and Veterinary Department. 

The long-term experience, the specialization of the slaughterhouse’s workforce, the on-site cooperation with the authorized veterinarians, the mechanical equipment and the systematic compliance of the health and safety regulations ensure the excellent quality of the outgoing carcasses. 

The carcasses are delivered directly to the clients of the slaughterhouse services or are transported to the excellent refrigeration facilities and from there are forwarded to the meat processing unit for boning, cutting, portioning and packaging. 

Edible co-products and inedible by-products are sent to the respective units for further processing, while rejected carcasses are sent to the rendering unit.
