About Scandi Standard

Scandi Standard is a prime producer of chilled, frozen, and ready-made chicken products, known for its brands such as Danpo, Den Stolte Hane, Kronfågel, Manor Farm, and Naapurin Maalaiskana, which can be found in over forty countries. Established in June 2013 with the union of the Swedish brand Kronfågel and Danish brand Danpo, along with the acquisition of the Norwegian brand Den Stolte Hane, Scandi Standard has since grown through strategic acquisitions in Finland (Naapurin Maalaiskana) and Ireland (Manor Farm), becoming the dominant poultry producer in the Nordics and Ireland, and a leading player in the European market.

The company’s strategy focuses on sustainability, quality, and innovation, with a strong emphasis on animal welfare and reducing environmental impact. Scandi Standard invests in new product lines and improves its production processes to meet the growing demand for sustainable alternatives.

Through a combination of organic expansion and strategic acquisitions in new markets, they are strengthening their market position and scaling up operations to meet increasing demand.

To support the growth strategy, Scandi Standard is strengthening its financial capabilities to manage complex financial flows, optimize liquidity, and ensure sustainable financing. A strong and future-proof treasury function is therefore essential. This presents an opportunity to join a developing organization and contribute to its financial operations during a period of change and expansion.

Scandi Standard is committed to maintaining the highest standards for every product, while providing a dynamic work environment that fosters growth and development within a values-driven organisation.
