RELIABILITY THROUGH
five GENERATIONS
What does it take to found a business? Courage. Determination. Hard work. Capital. And dreams. But one thing is to start a business. Another is to make it profitable in the long run. This requires that you are both reliable and adaptable. Your customers should always be able to count on you. And you must be able to adapt to the market, the trends and the times.
FEED
The manufacturers constantly refine the ingredients. The producers constantly refine the products. We pay respect to both by constantly refining the distribution.
Premium quality vitamins, minerals and proteins.
Developed by handpicked manufacturers.
And carefully distributed to the food industry.

PHARMA
Distributing pharmaceutical ingredients requires specialized knowledge. But it also requires something as simple as being reliable.

Reliability is not a USP.
IT’s our DNA.
Reliability reflects who we are, where we come from, and where we are heading.
Most importantly, it shows how we continue to evolve with a changing world – while staying true to the core of our business.
5th generation.
family is still no. 1.
We keep growing, but we never cut from our roots. We are not the same company today as we were when Mads Chr. Olesen founded his small grocery and goods store back in 1885. But one thing is unchanged – being reliable in everything we do.
Our promise
LONG-TERM PARTNERSHIPS
We believe that long-term partnerships are the finest distinction you can achieve as a company. And every time we get a new customer, we aim for nothing less.
EFFICIENT STORAGE & LOGISTICS
We are strategically located in several countries across three continents. This has attracted new customers. But it has also helped us take even better care of our existing ones. The more local we are, the more efficient distribution we can provide.
PRODUCT QUALITY & SAFETY
High-quality ingredients require high-quality distribution. This is your guarantee that everything is in perfect order. From safety and traceability to timely delivering.
Market Conditions & Trends
The world of distribution is constantly changing. New regulations. New trends. New ingredients. New needs for new services. Fortunately, we are just as fast to implement these things as we are to get your ingredients from A to B.
