BHJ A/S

Company Description

The company was founded in 1969 with the primary objective of collecting and processing by-products from Danish slaughter- houses for pet food and pharmaceuticals. During the 1970s, BHJ expanded into meat trading activities, manufacturing of func- tional animal proteins for food, processing lines for the meat processing industry, and transport services. Internationalization set in during the 1980s with the establish-ment of subsidiaries and an international network of distributors. At the end of the 1990s, BHJ decided to focus on the core business areas, and non-core activities BHJ A/Sre divested. BHJ was listed on the Copenhagen Stock Exchange in 1998 and delisted in 2004, when The Lauridsen Group, Inc., LGI, acquired the company. Today, BHJ A/S is a streamlined business focusing on the three core business areas - Protein Foods, Food and Pet Food.
