BHJ Group
Founded in 1969, the Danish company BHJ is a leading supplier of meat ingredients and meat raw materials for the food, pet food, feed and pharmaceutical industries. The company is headquartered in Gråsten, Denmark, and is a subsidiary of The Lauridsen Group, Inc., LGI, a US company.

History
BHJ was founded in 1969 with the primary objective of collecting and processing by-products from Danish slaughterhouses for pet food and pharmaceuticals. During the 1970s, BHJ expanded into meat trading activities, manufacturing of functional animal proteins for food, processing lines for the meat processing industry, and transport services. Internationalization set in during the 1980s with the establishment of subsidiaries and an international network of distributors. At the end of the 1990s, BHJ decided to focus on the core business areas, and non-core activities were divested. BHJ was listed on the Copenhagen Stock Exchange in 1998 and delisted in 2004, when The Lauridsen Group, Inc., LGI, acquired the company. Today, BHJ is a streamlined business with two business areas: BHJ Ingredients focusing on functional proteins and soup stock ingredients for the Meat Processing and Savoury Industry, and BHJ Meat and by-products focusing on distribution and processing of raw materials for the food and pet food industries. hbhg
