Three juicy reasons to get involved withnt to GVFI

Personal

We cultivate an open corporate culture. Despite our global orientation, our working atmosphere is very informal and personal. Thanks to low staff turnover, we have a well-established team that will actively support you at all times during the familiarisation process.

Generous

We offer you numerous benefits. You can enjoy five weeks' holiday, receive a discount if you travel to work by public transport and, in addition to long-service and birthday gifts, a performance bonus if you achieve your annual targets. We pay generous contributions to the pension fund and insure our employees far in excess of the statutory minimum.

Responsible

We are not only committed to the well-being of our employees. We are also committed to species-appropriate, sustainable animal husbandry, the consistent protection of the climate and environment and socially responsible working conditions at our suppliers worldwide.

There’s a lot going on behind the scenes

You will experience time and again how much we love a good piece of meat. Throughout the week, we cook delicious menus, grill a piece of meat, eat together and taste our quality products. Even at Christmas dinner, the event weekend and spontaneous aperitifs on the large terrace, there is never a shortage of socialising.
