Philip Heyman

Philip Wulff Heyman (5 November 1837 – 15 December 1893) was a Jewish Danish industrialist who co-founded the Tuborg Brewery.

When a regular service with steam liners was introduced between Copenhagen and England and Scotland in 1863, he began an export of Danish quality butter in original packaging to the United Kingdom.

In 1866, with H. Puggaard & Co. as a silent partner, he established an abattoir, Kjøbenhavns Svineslagteri, specializing in the slaughtering of pigs for the British market.

[2] In 1873, together with C. F. Tietgen, Gustav Brock [da] and Rudolph Puggaard, he went on to found Tuborgs Fabrikker in Hellerup on the coast north of Copenhagen.

In 1880, with local partners, he established the Engelska Svineslagteriet ("English Pig Slaughterhouse") in Malmö, later followed by a smaller branch under the same name in Tomelilla.

Starting in the late 1890s,[clarification needed] Heyman worked for the merger of all Danish abattoirs, both privately owned and co-operatives, into a single company, A/S De danske Svineslagterier, and after a few years he was joined by C. F. Tietgen who had already instigated similar mergers within a number of other industries, but the co-operatives ended up creating their own company under the name Slagteriselskabet Danmark.

He is one of the businessmen depicted in Peder Severin Krøyer's monumental 1895 group portrait painting From Copenhagen Stock Exchange in Børsen.
