Impeccable distribution of high-quality ingredients to the feed, food, pharma and technical industries worldwide since 1885.

With roots dating back to 1885, Chr. Olesen has grown from a local Danish grocery store into an international, family-owned business built on quality, reliability and long-term partnerships.





A WORD IS A WORD.

NO MATTER THE LANGUAGE.

Partnerships are crucial to us. And many of them have existed for generations.

  • 140 years and we're just getting started

    2025 marked our 140th anniversary. That’s worth celebrating. We’ve grown from a small grocery and goods store to a global firm with about 200 employees and 5th generation family ownership. But the journey has only just started, as we will continue growing our family-run company – just as each generation has done before.
