Safety from Source to Customer

Sustainability, quality and safety are important to us for all of our products.

We provide services for products that come from distant regions; including fishmeal from Peru, Iceland and Morocco or soy protein concentrate from Brazil. The logistical challenges of course only really become interesting when it comes to implementing our high standards of quality, safety and sustainability – in terms of traceability for example. A network that has been maintained for decades, with exclusive partnerships with producers and logistics companies, forms the basis of our success and enables us to provide a complete service.
