history

1967

Clazing founded...

Clazing family business founded by Gert Clazing in Zevenhuizen. Around ten
employees, slaughtering about 800 chicks per day. Early on, the choice was made to serve the Islamic consumer, laying the foundation for today’s leading position as a supplier of fresh, high-quality halal chicken products.

1997

New generation

After steady growth, the site was extensively renovated and expanded. That same year, founder Gert Clazing’s sons – Adrie and Wim – took over the company, and they are still at the helm today.

Expansion

Further expansion of the Zevenhuizen site. By then, more than 130 employees were working there, slaughtering 130,000 chicks per day.

2013

Aqcuisition Mr. John

Today

Healthy family business

Clazing is now a healthy family business with four slaughterhouses, two cutting plants, and its own convenience branch. Each week we slaughter over 2 million chicks and offer a
complete range of fresh, cooked, and frozen halal chicken products.

Culture and reliability

What has always remained is the down-to-earth, people-oriented company culture. Employees feel part of the “family” and directors still work daily in production to stay closely involved. This way of working emphasizes our commitment to quality, cooperation, and reliability.

Focus on the halal market

Over the years, Clazing has grown into a leading supplier within the halal market. The conscious choice to fully focus on the halal consumer has led to targeted growth and a strong position in specific regions.
