Himmerlandskød A/S is Denmark's second largest beef slaughterhouse and cutting plant

Himmerlandskød used to be made up of four well-managed companies, Himmerlandskød, A/S Hjalmar Nielsen, Nordic Beef Hadsund, and Kjellerup Eksportslagteri, but in 2018 they were unified, thus becoming one single brand: Himmerlandskød. Today, they still have four corporate divisions located in Farsø, Aalestrup, Hadsund, and Kjellerup, and the company is Denmark’s second largest beef slaughterhouse and cutting plant. Himmerlandskød operates according to the key values of ‘parsimony’, ‘industriousness’, and ‘propriety’. Their culture is founded on professional pride, workmanship, and honoring the promises they make. Their values and history go back more than 100 years, and they have always kept their feet firmly planted on the ground of the vast grasslands of Central and Northern Jutland.
