Meyer Menü advances Precision & versatility for modern meal production with Marel's TREIF HAWK

Meyer Menü, a family-owned company based in Bielefeld, has been offering high-quality ready-to-eat meals for over 60 years. Since its founding in the 1960s, the company has grown from a small butcher shop into a major provider of meal delivery services.

To meet the increasing demand, Meyer Menü relies on innovative technology and long-term partnerships with specialized machine manufacturers. In the department for meat- and roasted products, Production Manager Maik Schuster ensures that the high-quality standards are maintained at all locations. A key tool in his operation is now the TREIF HAWK, a highly precise portion cutter that recently replaced the TREIF FALCON II from 2002.

"The TREIF HAWK is an innovative portion cutter for larger butcher shops and an ideal entry-level solution for expanding meat processing businesses," explains Volker Pütz, Product Manager at Marel. "With weight-accurate cutting, the HAWK offers unparalleled flexibility in its price range."




For Meyer Menü, this means optimized production and more efficient operations. Schuster is impressed by the machine’s capabilities: "We process everything here, from pork and beef roasts to sauerbraten and turkey roulades. The HAWK is more compact and, with its intuitive touch screen, significantly easier to operate than our previous model. This allows us to utilize our workforce more flexibly." Customizable access permissions ensure that only trained staff can adjust the program settings.

Maik Schuster and his team are particularly impressed by the TREIF HAWK's user-friendliness and efficiency. "We’ve been satisfied from the start because Marel addressed our challenges and explained everything in detail. The service was truly excellent," Maik Schuster highlights.




The TREIF HAWK also excels in yield and throughput thanks to its advanced software, which enables a seamless production flow. Meyer Menü is considering upgrading to continuous loading for the HAWK to further increase production efficiency.

Thanks to the TREIF HAWK, Meyer Menü can reliably and efficiently meet the production goals, continuing to supply schools, cafeterias, and private households with fresh, traditional meals. "For us, Marel is the most experienced partner when it comes to cutting – and we’re convinced that the HAWK was the best choice," concludes Maik Schuster.
