Discover Our Story
At Haugen-Gruppen, we aim to enrich Nordic food culture. We know what's trending globally and want to bring those flavors to your kitchen tomorrow.
Leading Nordic Food Importer
Haugen-Gruppen's journey began in 1916 as a traditional grocery wholesaler. Over time, it evolved into a specialized importer, distributor, and marketer of consumer goods, food service products, sweets, and beverages.
Today, Haugen-Gruppen Nordic is the leading importer in the Nordic region, with subsidiaries across all five Nordic countries. In Finland, we employ 35 people and operate in both grocery and HoReCa markets with many iconic brands.
Quality, done Responsibly
We aim to be the top supplier in every product category, with a focus on high-quality branded products. Actively identifying global food trends, we bring the best to Finnish kitchens. In the 1990s, we introduced nachos to Finland, and in the 2000s, we pioneered bringing Asian cuisine to home kitchens. We know what's buzzing in the food world today and, together with our partners, can create trends in Finland too.
We are committed to social responsibility, environmental care, and adhere to high ethical standards in our business operations globally. We've been awarded the Great Place to Work certification.
Food and drink are our greatest passions, and our brands help make dining enjoyable, bringing families and friends together.
Bon appétit!
