About us

Our history

DCW Casing LLC is a partnership formed from three of the most reputable companies in the natural casings industry. As a joined entity; DAT-Schaub, Casing Associates and Wolfson Casing have the largest array of natural casing products worldwide. DCW is unique in that we have control of our products every step of the way from raw material through selection and fulfillment. Over a course of years, DCW Casing LLC has become an integral part of DAT-Schaub and all shareholders agreed that the time had come for DAT-Schaub to take over the sole ownership of DCW Casing LLC in 2022.
Consistency, traceability and quality control are the main focuses of DCW. The history of each independent entity is what has allowed this structure to be possible. A combined 250 years of experience is what makes DCW the most experienced and qualified supplier in the industry

DAT-Schaub

DAT-Schaub was founded in 1893 in Esbjerg, Denmark with only 4 employees cleaning and selecting Danish hog casings. From the modest start the company grew together along with the Danish slaughterhouses, expanding throughout the next 120 years. Over the decades, DAT-Schaub has been active in food trade and food service business, however from 2002, the focus has been on natural and artificial casings, ingredients, packaging and machinery.

Casing Associates

In 1918, Louis Schwartz, 14 years old, was one of nine children. He started to work in a slaughter after hours to help keep his family afloat. He was provided with the opportunity to clean the intestines after work for one penny per piece. That value was instilled in him and he eventually left to work for his first casing company, Hamburg Casing, in 1928. Louis had a long and successful career at Hamburg until 1955 when he decided to start his own business, Casing Associates. In the late 1960’s his sons Philip and Donald Schwartz joined the company to help accommodate its growth. The complimenting skill sets of the Schwartz brothers allowed Casing Associates to grow in an international producer and supplier. In 2009, Casing Associates partnered with DAT to become the official distributor of Danish casings in North America.

Wolfson Casing Corporation

More than 100 years ago Eleazer Wolfson founded Wolfson Casing Corporation and dedicated himself to producing the worlds finest natural casings at the best possible price. The third generation family members Monte Wolfson and Steven Bardfield embraced the ideals of its founders and developed the organization into an international producer and supplier. The fourth generation members David and Ricky Gordon took major steps to redefine quality selection and expand the sales forces to the furthest reaches of the globe. Prior to forming DCW Casing, Wolfson had already secured its position as the number one producers and sellers of hog casing in North America.

Why DCW casing?

It is not uncommon in business to hear the words “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. There is certainly wisdom in that statement, however often innovation can improve upon productivity as well as cut down on costs. DCW Casing works with several thousand customers worldwide from major distributors to local sausage makers. Our goal is to identify the specific needs of a customer in order to recommend the ideal casing for their specific application. Traditionally, the main focus put upon casings manufacturers was related to how many pounds per hank the casing will stuff. Though this is certainly an important factor, a new emphasis is being place on topics such as pounds per hours, percentage of rework, and avoidance of worker fatigue.

Pursuing perfection since 1893

Perfect is a big word. Too big, you may say, for anything made by man. And then again, something happens when you get a sausage where the casing fits to the millimetre.

Quality is at the core or our craftsmanship – and the source of our passion for perfection.
