About us

A business with a family culture

For over 40 years, Simons Halal Food has been committed to the manufacturing of premium quality halal meat products. In that time we have become one of the leading producers in Europe. We supply halal meat products to importers, distributors and wholesale companies based in Europe, the Middle East, North Africa and Asia. Reliability, good service and personal contact are high priorities for us. Over the years we have worked on a good relationship with our customers and in this way we have been able to build a loyal and large customer base, which we are very pleased with!

What do we stand for?

  • Quality

    One of the preconditions that determines if something is halal or not, is quality. That is why hygiene and food safety are our top priorities. Our meat products are checked every day for taste, bite and smell, among other things.

  • Sustainability

    Bearing a responsibility for the planet is inseparable from Islam. Sustainability is also of great importance within Simons Halal Food and we treat the environment and nature, people and animals, in a respectful manner.

  • Animal welfare

    Halal meat is based on the respectful treatment of animals. In numerous parts of Islamic scriptures, animals are treated with respect and protected. We therefore take an eye for animal welfare closely.

  • Service

    Worldwide, we have built a large and loyal customer base. It is important to us that our customers are well treated and feel seen and appreciated. We are committed to this every day.

Our team

Simons Halal Food is supported by a team of over 250 motivated colleagues with a genuine heart for the business. Although we are one of the largest producers of halal meat in Europe, we can proudly say that we are a real family business where we respect each other.

Today

Certifications

To qualify as halal, the meat that is used must come from animals that have lived a fulfilling life and must have been slaughtered according to an Islamic ritual. Also, from Islamic regulations, there are certain requirements for the raw materials and materials used. Halal certificates are important to guarantee that and to ensure our quality. Simons Halal Food is in possession of all applicable halal certificates, including the Islamic authority (Jakim standard) in Malaysia.
