Delika Food GRoup

Delika Food Group A/S was founded under the name “Delika” in 1985 with the ambition of producing salami and other smoked products of significantly higher quality than what was typically available in supermarkets at the time.

The first product to go into production was the now-famous Hammel salami. A major Danish retail chain recognised its exceptional quality and included it in its assortment, laying the foundation for the company’s remarkable growth. Today, Hammel salami remains a core product in Delika Food Group’s range, now accompanied by additional salami varieties, as well as smoked pork loin, roast beef, and rolled pork sausage.

In 2007, Delika was acquired by Kurt Møller and Tom Elert Christensen. Since then, the company has expanded through the acquisition of several production facilities and brands.

Since 2013, AJ Skjern has been part of the company, broadening the product range significantly with the addition of cheese and other dairy products of the same high quality as the existing assortment.

In December 2021, 80% of Delika Food Group A/S was sold to the private equity firm Erhvervsinvest, while the remaining shares stayed with the existing owners.

For Delika Food Group A/S, this new structure provides a strong foundation for further growth and a reinforced position within the food industry.

Since Kurt Møller and Tom Elert Christensen took over Delika A/S and established Delika Food Group A/S in 2007, the company has grown rapidly. Today, Delika Food Group A/S offers a broad portfolio of premium brands within cold cuts, sausages, smoked products, and dairy – and this growth journey continues.

With Erhvervsinvest as a strategic partner, we now have even more opportunities to maintain our position as one of the leading companies in the industry for years to come.

In March 2023, Delika Food Group A/S acquired the activities of the cold cuts company Skare Food. This acquisition expanded our cold cuts production to two new locations in Aarhus and Christiansfeld, providing further opportunities for future portfolio expansion.

In September 2023, Delika Food Group A/S acquired the meat processing company Lepo in Hedehusene. Lepo’s values and product philosophy align well with those of Delika Food Group, and with this acquisition, we have now also established a presence on Zealand.

A common denominator for our entire range is strong craftsmanship traditions and the finest raw materials of the highest quality. Explore a selection of our products here.
