About Plukon
Eat healthy and delicious food throughout Europe
Working at Plukon means contributing to tasty and healthy food for 273 million people across Europe. To enjoy at home, or in a restaurant. Poultry, vegetables, salads: we use the freshest ingredients possible. Freshness is our strength, it’s what sets us apart. Fresh products – and fresh ideas.
Plukon is a frontrunner in the industry. We invest heavily in innovation, especially to make our production processes more people-, animal- and planet-friendly. You’ll see this ambition reflected in our theme: Think Fresh. Act Fresh. Make Fresh. Every change starts with an innovative idea (think), which we bring to life together with our partners (act), and translate into new products (make).
Plukon was founded in 1894 as a poultry company. The name stands for “Pluimvee Kombinatie Nederland” (Poultry Combination Netherlands). A lot has changed since then. We now also process vegetables and alternative proteins. And we make it easier for people to choose responsible food with meal components, ready-made meals, and fresh salads.
