Tomex was founded in 1988 by Tom Andersen. In its infancy, Tomex was a one-man operation. The initial turnover figures were modest, and the business activity limited to the export of frozen meat. But already in 1989, the company changed character. One man became three, and the company relocated to Aalborg's (city in Northern Jutland, Denmark) city centre.

Since then, the product range has included meat, poultry, fish and vegetables. And in 1992, Tomex supplemented its portfolio with the export of fresh Norwegian salmon, a venture which constitutes a significant portion of the present turnover.

Today, Tomex is housed in a villa in Hasseris - one of the city's exclusive neighbourhoods. The old telex has been replaced by a row of fax machines and e-mail, all computers are on-line and the turnover reached DKK 600 million in 2005.

The company now numbers 46 employees and boasts sales offices in Germany, France, Poland, Hungary, Sweden, U. S. A, Philippines and China. In little more than a decade, Tomex has gone from an anonymous North Jutland firm that followed in others' footsteps into a leading role.

Through several years of business, we have constructed a world-wide network of reliable suppliers. And with non-stop hard work and by hiring highly qualified associates we have consistently augmented our competence, thus making us a name on the international scene.
