ABOUT US

International Trade

Meat is our origin, infused by four generations.  From creating value of our own family's live stock in the 1930's, to the international trade in meat and by-products today.

We supply the standardized meat cuts for the food service, bulk meat for further processing, by products for export and for petfood.  We also provide custom made specifications and blends, and further processed products.  Locally, but just as easily through importing and exporting.  Our global trading network goes back a long way and our reputation allows our customers to rely on us.

Project Development

What started in the USA during a dinner in 1999 from a machine without a purpose, grew into our second core business.  Developing the supply of natural raw materials used in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and ingredients industry.

Often they are products that have not been harvested before.  We started close to our origins with raw materials from animals.  In the meantime however, we have developed supply from Ocean and Plant origin as well.

With a hands-on mentality, we help find the product, origin, specification, process, packing and shipping options most suitable, as well as determine the correct procedures for international veterinary, customs and government regulation compliance.

WHAT WE DO

What we do best is when project development is faced with difficulties to move forward and can be reignited with fresh ideas or a different type of relationship.  It’s a preference that developed with us over three generations.  Besides what we call “Vitamin R” (relationships), two family motto’s were probably part of the basis for this development.

Mountains never meet, people always do:  Our longstanding and often personal relationships directly with the plants and across continents is unique for a single office trading company like ours.  These relationships allow us to offer direct local supply keeping cost down and efficiency high.

When others sit down, we stand up:  And vice versa.  We always try to come up with flexible ideas to tackle roadblocks in order to move forward.  Sometimes altering the course of a project entirely, but arriving at the same end goal.  We cover the entire flow ourselves from A to Z with only a very small team, optimizing efficiency and momentum in the project.
