De Heus is an international family-owned company specialising in animal nutrition, with its roots firmly anchored in the Netherlands. The company was founded in 1911 by Gerrit Jan de Heus in Barneveld, a region historically closely connected to livestock farming. What began as a small local feed business has grown steadily over more than a century into a leading global producer of compound feed, premixes, concentrates and nutritional solutions for livestock.
Today, De Heus operates in more than 70 countries across Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America, with production locations in multiple regions around the world.
De Heus believes that better nutrition leads to better farming. The company focuses on supporting farmers by providing high-quality feed, strong technical knowledge and practical on-farm advice. De Heus works closely with farmers and partners to help improve animal health, performance and farm profitability, while adapting solutions to local conditions and markets.
Sustainability and responsibility play an increasingly important role in De Heus’ operations. The company continuously invests in research, innovation and more efficient production methods to reduce environmental impact, improve feed efficiency and contribute to more sustainable food systems. Food safety, quality assurance and responsible sourcing are embedded throughout the value chain.
With more than a century of experience, and an international outlook, De Heus combines tradition with innovation. The mission of De Heus remains clear: to be a reliable partner for farmers worldwide and to contribute to sustainable livestock production through smart nutritional solutions.
