About Meyers

Meyers is a Danish food company founded by Claus Meyer and built around the idea of improving food culture through better ingredients, craftsmanship, and hospitality. The company says it has worked for more than 25 years across the value chain “from soil to table,” with activities spanning restaurants, bakeries, canteens, lunch solutions, catering, food retail, courses, teambuilding, consulting, research, and communication.

It serves both private and corporate customers. For businesses, Meyers provides daily lunch, canteen operations, catering, events, and workplace food experiences; for consumers, it offers restaurants, bakeries, cooking courses, and a range of packaged products. Across these activities, Meyers positions itself as a quality-driven, purpose-led company that combines Nordic culinary roots with curiosity about world cuisines and a strong focus on sustainability and responsible operations.

Core Values

• Quality and craftsmanship: Meyers repeatedly emphasizes good raw materials, skilled cooking, and traditional handcraft as the basis for everything it makes. The company aims to create food that is both technically well made and genuinely enjoyable to eat.
• Sustainability and responsibility: Sustainability is presented as a core part of the business, with attention to climate impact, biodiversity, organic sourcing, animal welfare, and reduced food waste. Meyers says it works with measurable goals and certifications across the company.
• Hospitality and community: The company’s stated purpose is unconditional hospitality, meaning food should create welcome, belonging, and shared experiences. This shows up in its workplace dining, events, courses, and social projects.
• Curiosity and innovation: Meyers combines respect for tradition with a willingness to experiment, whether in menus, products, or teaching formats. It presents itself as a company that keeps exploring new ingredients, techniques, and food cultures.
• Collaboration and learning: Meyers values working with colleagues, customers, farmers, researchers, and partners to create better outcomes together. It also treats food as a way to build skills, confidence, and stronger relationships.

Unique Aspects

• Broad presence across the food value chain: Meyers says it operates from agriculture and product development through to restaurants, canteens, retail, education, and consulting. That breadth is unusual for a single food company and gives it a strong “from soil to table” identity.
• Purpose-led positioning: The company defines its purpose as unconditional hospitality and explicitly links food to inclusion, social value, and better food culture. This is not just a commercial message but a central part of how it describes itself.
• Strong sustainability credentials: Meyers states that it runs organic, Nordic Swan Ecolabelled, and ISO-certified kitchens, and that it is the first large B Corp-certified food company in the Nordic region. It also says it uses certification and data to track progress.
• Corporate dining at scale: Meyers has a substantial workplace-food business, with canteen and lunch solutions tailored to companies of different sizes and needs. Its case material shows long-term partnerships and large-scale event and catering capabilities.
• Own retail and hospitality footprint: Beyond B2B services, Meyers operates restaurants and three bakeries in Copenhagen, giving it direct guest-facing experience that informs its broader food offer.
