Multi-channel category leader within high-end food

Løgismose Meyers (“the Company”) is the result of the merger of Løgismose and Meyers, two of the strongest and best recognised high-end food brands in Denmark.

Løgismose was founded in 1963 and operates in the fast-moving consumer goods market, retailing to customers directly, online and through strategic cooperation with Denmark’s largest retail chain, Salling Group. Main activities include production of dairy products and a variety of other high-end food products for retail sale, imports of wine and other delicacies and operating its own stores.

Meyers was founded by the Danish food entrepreneur Claus Meyer. Main activities include Meyers Contract Catering, operating own stores, development of high-end food products as well as teambuilding, events and consulting within cooking.

IK Partners acquired the Company in January 2015, alongside the owners and management.
