Made in Denmark - Sustainable Food Manufacturing
Denmark is leading the way for sustainable production of new and innovative food products.
FOOD PRODUCTION IN DENMARK:
Built on high productivity with low environmental impact
Danish food manufacturers operate some of the world’s most advanced processing plants, enabled by an effective, skilled workforce with a digital mindset and flexible automation systems.
As a result, manufacturing processes are efficient with low use of resources, and always striving towards minimizing waste and lowering the environmental footprint.
Strategic geographic location for a European food production hub
Denmark has a low proximity to 100 million consumers, and with ten countries bordering the Baltic Sea, you can reach the 100 million consumers within 24 hours.
In fact, almost 55% of all Scandinavian companies – more than one million – and 35% of the entire Scandinavian population are within a 3-hour drive of Denmark.
On top of logistics
In addition to having a geographically advantageous location, Denmark is also on top of logistics. Denmark is home to world leading logistics companies, giving you global reach and efficient delivery and sourcing capabilities.
According to IMD, Denmark comes sixth in the world on logistics management and on timing of logistic services. On top of this, Denmark is specialized in frozen food products transportation, distribution and cold logistics.
Due to the advantageous logistic location, Denmark can offer supreme logistics services by road, sea and air. Many food manufacturers are located in Jutland with easy and fast access to the rest of Europe by road and train. Furthermore, Copenhagen Airport has repeatedly been ranked the most efficient airport in Europe whereas Billund Airport is specialised in air cargo to the whole world. Last but not least, many Danish ports offer direct cargo routes to major ports in the Baltics, Middle and Southern Europe, North Asia and North America.
Resilient supply chains
Global value- and supply chains can be vulnerable and time consuming. By choosing Denmark you not only get the best conditions for a fast, safe and stable supply chain and logistics setup, you also mitigate risks in your global value- and supply chains.
Denmark is ranked 3rd by the FM Global Resilience Index 2020 and offers manufacturing environment with minimal risk and a high degree of security and trust.
