Every day millions of people around the world enjoy food, beverages and dietary supplements containing natural ingredients from Chr. Hansen. We are a global bioscience-based company that provides highly specialized ingredients to the food, pharmaceutical, nutritional and agricultural industries.

Unknown but everywhere .

Chr. Hansen is a very special kind of company. Virtually unknown outside our specialised field, several hundred million people around the world enjoy our products every day in the foods they eat.

There’s a good chance that you had a bite of Chr. Hansen this morning. Perhaps you enjoyed deliciously creamy yoghurt, mouth-watering Italian style salami or a cheese with a distinct bite? Every other cheese in the world is made with Chr. Hansen ingredients.

Ingredients with character

Our natural ingredients are vital constituents of our customers' products - ingredients such as the coagulants and cultures that give cheeses their individual character. The range today is much broader than the dairy ingredients on which our business was founded more than 130 years ago.

A specialist strategy .
