Strategic thrusts

Strengthen our core business

With Bell Schweiz, the Bell Food Group wants to sustainably expand its leading position in its core business with meat, poultry, charcuterie and seafood in the retail and food service market by further differentiating its product ranges and services. In the international business, the focus will continue to fall on strengthening the market position and profitability of air-dried ham and expanding the range of sustainable poultry products.

Grow with convenience and vegetarian products

The Bell Food Group wants to strengthen its position in the convenience market in the DACH region by fully exploiting the capacities offered by the new production facility in Marchtrenk (AT). The focus falls on developing new product solutions, increasing the degree of convenience and adding new products to the vegetarian and poultry convenience product ranges. The development of new food solutions for the food service sector will be another focal topic. These involve holistic product concepts that take account and improve the efficiency of the existing infrastructure and processes of customers in the food service sector.

Invest in efficiency and performance

To ensure its long-term performance capacity in the core business with meat products in Switzerland, the Bell Food Group has launched a comprehensive investment programme at the Oensingen (CH) site. The planned new facilities for the cutting, packaging and picking of products will bring improvements in process automation, increase the efficiency of logistics services and improve sustainability with regard to resource consumption and food waste. The planned investments at Hilconaʼs headquarters in Schaan (LI) will take a similar course, with the focus also falling on the modernisation of the production and logistics processes.

Values

Three values have been defined for the Bell Food Group with which we want to differentiate ourselves as a company: customer-orientated, entrepreneurial, responsible.

Customer-focused

We love the good things.

Everything we do is good and has been a guarantee for the best quality for more than 150 years. We accompany, support and inspire our customers, partners and consumers with our broad-based skill set, finely honed craftsmanship and solid financial foundation. This is why you can count on us – now as well as in the future.

Entrepreneurial

We shape the future.

We do not simply accept things the way they are, but constantly challenge ourselves and our customers to make things better and to find solutions for known as well as new challenges. This is how we anticipate and energetically shape the future.

Responsible

We take responsibility.

It is our responsibility to think and act sustainably. We know that there is still much to be done, and we are doing everything we can to improve a little every day. We want to set a good example and make a contribution to a life in harmony with our environment.
