Part of DLG Food
DLG Food comprises the DLG Group's rapeseed mills which refine rapeseed oil for the food industry. DLG Food Oil is based in Agersted in North Jutland but also has a rapeseed mill in the port of Bandholm on Lolland. Food Oil offers Danish-produced refined rapeseed oil from the finest component of mainly Nordic rapeseed - the germ itself. The oil is distinguished by its natural aroma, colour and taste and is suitable for frying, baking, dressings and marinades.
In August 2012, DLG Food Oil put a new refinery into service, thus increasing capacity from 70,000 to 120,000 tonnes. DLG Food Oil is the industry supplier of rapeseed oil, using only European GMO-free rapeseed in the production.
The company was formerly called DanRaps and was established in 1996. It is fully owned by DLG Food.
Affiliation with DLG
Through DLG Food Oil, DLG processes the farmer's rapeseed into products for the retail sector and food industry. Food service and retail customers are managed by PureOil I/S, whereas DLG Food Oil handles industrial clients.
Danæg is the largest player in the egg business in the Nordic countries with a turnover of DKK 1 billion. The two packing plants Danæg A/S in Denmark and Kroneägg AB in Sweden give the group a strong hold of both the Danish and the Swedish market of eggs for human consumption. Danæg's focus on the quality of eggs and egg products is deeply rooted in the company and has been so since the start in 1895. DLG owns 50% of the company.
The Danæg group in Denmark consists of an egg packing facility in Christiansfeld south of Kolding and a production plant, Danæg Products A/S, in Roskilde.BioRefine Denmark A /S produces grass protein as an alternative protein source for animal feed. At the biorefinery in Jutland, organic, green protein is extracted from locally produced clover grass and lucerne. DLG owns 50% of BioRefine and has started the company in collaboration with Danish Agro and DLF, who each own 25%. In the long run, the ambition is that the extracted protein also will be used in food, as an important alternative to animal-produced protein.
