JHK GmbH Heinz A. Jaspers

About JHK GmbH

JHK GmbH, based in Viersen, is an internationally active trading agency for meat and meat-related products. The company markets Dutch, Spanish, Belgian and German meat products of all kinds and currently handles around 300 tonnes of meat per week for market-leading Spanish meat producers. An employee on site in the Vic/Girona region (Spain) ensures the required quality standards and customer specifications. The product range includes pork, beef, Iberico meat, turkey meat and chicken meat. JHK GmbH organises the complete logistics including returnable packaging management and delivers fresh loose, vacuum-packed in E2 boxes on H1 pallets, or deep-frozen in Poly Block, as naked blocks or in cartons. The company only works with producers who meet the required standards and supplies customers worldwide. Originating from the butcher's shop Jakob Jaspers founded in 1927, JHK GmbH was established in 1992 after the previous meat products factory was discontinued.
