Thorsens Chipskartofler had a course about potatoes yesterday for all employees. This included a trip to different potato fields, where Torben from our agro department explained about the different varieties and diseases. We saw crisp potatoes, peeling potatoes and organic potatoes. After the trip to the fields there was a presentation about the physiology of the potato. The day was exciting for everyone and both new and old employees got more knowledge.
In week 25 we took a trip to Germany to visit our German colleges in Thorsens Chipskartofler GmbH and meet up with our partner RWG. Besides this we also got to see our contract areas, which currently is looking really good as you can see in the pictures.
The varieties on the pictures are among others Lady Claire, Lady Britta and Lady Rosetta.
Thorsens Chipskartofler A/S’ employees and partners were on a company event Friday the 26th of June.
The party committee had arranged a stay at Borbjerg Mølle Inn, where we had a great dinner and a good time together.
It was a nice stay which also included a little boat trip.
For the last 14 days we have stored organic peeling and french frie potatoes, it has been difficult this year with the sometimes inclement weather we have had.
Yesterday we started storing conventional crisping potatoes and the first Lady Claire was put in the bulk store.
We eagerly follow the breeders on the harvesters around Denmark and wish them a good harvest season, and hope for some good potato weather.
Monday 11 September in March 2019, Thorsen’s Chipskartofler was host to the Herningegnens LandboUngdom. There were approximately 100 interested participants, who were given a tour of production and stock as well as in the new hall from 2018 to the production and stock of organic potatoes. After the tour, Erik Bech Thorsen presented the company’s background, idea and concept. There were many good questions from the very interested participants, who might one day become future suppliers to Thorsens Chipskartofler.
Thank you for your visit.
Merry Christmas and
a Happy New Year
to all of you.
