What Remkes Convenience BV does

Remkes Convenience BV is part of Remkes The Poultry Family, a privately held, third-generation Dutch poultry processing group headquartered in Epe, Gelderland, Netherlands. Founded in 1928, the group operates four wholly-owned entities from a single site in Epe: Remkes Breeder Processing (a specialized slaughterhouse for spent laying hens), Remkes Food Products (cooking, processing, and ready-to-(h)eat production), Remkes Coldstore (10,000-pallet cooling and freezing facility, BREEAM Outstanding certified), and Remkes Poultry (international import/export trading). The company supplies branded and private label chicken products across retail, foodservice, wholesale, and industrial B2B customers in the Netherlands, Germany (via the Superhuhn sub-brand), and other international markets.

The product portfolio spans fresh and frozen soup chickens and chicken parts, cooked chicken strips, cubes, and shredded meat for industrial ingredient applications, a private label convenience range (coated wings, marinated products, formed and coated items), and the Remkes branded convenience assortment organized into three sub-lines: Great Chicken, Asian Chicken, and Hot 'n Crunchy. Core technology centers on chicken cooking, processing, filleting, portioning, IQF (Individually Quick Frozen), and fresh vacuum packaging within fully controlled processes. The closed production chain — from breeding to slaughtering to cooking to cold storage — provides complete traceability and supports multiple international certifications (BRC, IFS, QS, HALAL, Beter Leven) plus the proprietary NoviPlus sustainability label and BREEAM Outstanding building standards.

The business model is B2B manufacturing and supply: revenue is generated through one-time sales of chicken products to enterprise customers (retailers, foodservice operators, wholesalers, food manufacturers) via direct account relationships and private label manufacturing agreements, complemented by international trade through Remkes Poultry. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is understood to be quote-based, tailored to volume, specification, and customer relationship. Distribution is conducted directly, through private label partnerships, and via international trading partners — including the jointly developed Superhuhn commercial activities in Germany.
