130 years of experience in farming and butchery gives us our unique industry know-how from farm to fork.

DANISH CROWN USA

Danish Crown established the first office in New Jersey in 1965. Danish pork exports to the USA consisted then of canned hams and picnics, shelf stable bacon and luncheon meats. In the early 1980s the first Danish Crown plants were given USDA approvals to export fresh frozen pork products and items like Danish baby back ribs, spareribs, riblets and a variety of boneless pork items have become Danish Crown legacy brands in the US pork industry.

As the USA division of one of the largest meat producers in the world, we have benefited from significant investment in farming and manufacturing processes, meaning our food safety and quality standards are second to none. With more than half a century of experience with import and distribution we own our supply chain from farm to table.
At Danish Crown USA, we’re passionate about meat! From the casual dining restaurant sector, to meat for manufacturing we promise to produce and deliver the very best cuts.
