Kurt Pijahn

The Kurt Pijahn Handelsgesellschaft group is a fully family-owned enterprise, now welcoming its fourth generation into the business since 2015. This long-standing family involvement has shaped our values and corporate culture for over 60 years, serving as a steady and reliable foundation for continued success. What began in 1956 as a one-person shipping agency has grown into a major supplier of raw materials to the food processing industry, managing an average freight volume of 50,000 tons annually. As a family-run company, we prioritize autonomy and agile decision-making across all aspects of our operations. Our financial independence—achieved through prudent management and reinvestment of profits—allows us to operate without reliance on external financing or credit institutions, ensuring long-term stability. We take our responsibility to customers and suppliers seriously, fostering close, collaborative partnerships grounded in trust and fairness. For us, long-term relationships matter more than short-term gains. We are deeply committed to quality and expect the same from our partner companies. Customer satisfaction remains our highest goal, and we meet it by offering flexible, customized products and services that consistently meet our clients’ needs. To uphold these standards, we continuously invest in upgrading and expanding our production facilities.
