On March the 5th 1986 Skare received King Frederik IX's award for excellence in export. The award is awarded once a year to companies which have shown a particular outstanding effort to promote and develop the export of Danish goods and services. I his speech to the award recipients His Royal Highness Prince Henrik emphasised the severe competition on the export markets, which made great demands not only to the professional effort of the companies, but also to the physical and psychological strength of the individual employee. In 2002 the Vejen Trade Council awarded Skare Meat Packers K/S the Vejen Commercial Prize. The prize is awarded on the basis of a list of company candidates recommended by the citizens of Vejen Municipality. "The prize is awarded as appreciation for a special effort which has resulted in a positive development for the company or for the trades and industries of Vejen Municipality in general".
