The Danish disinfectant producer Jorenku turns previous losses into a profit of millions and reports a profit of DKK 1.6 million in its 2025 financial statements. According to management, the growth is due to outbreaks of avian influenza in Europe and problems with African Swine Fever.
DKK 1.6 million on the bottom line. Over the past year, Jorenku A/S has managed to turn the losses of previous years into a profit.
According to founder and CEO Johnni Pedersen, this is historically typical for the Danish company.
“Historically, we usually generate a profit of a couple of million. In the previous years we had expenses related to rebuilding and machinery, which are some of the main reasons why we reported losses in 2023 and 2024,” he told Effektivt Landbrug.
Avian influenza and African Swine Fever
The investments made in recent years meant that the 2025 financial statements did not include the same expenses for rebuilding and renovations. In addition, outbreaks of avian influenza in Europe and problems with African Swine Fever have had a positive impact on the company’s results.
This is largely due to Jorenku’s product Staldren®, which is known worldwide.
“We were the first with the product, and we can clearly see that when serious problems arise, people seek to what they already know. That is also what we have experienced. People have chosen the reliable solution,” says the CEO and continues:
“Our market has grown significantly in Europe and in Southeast Asia. Those two markets have seen substantial growth, which has contributed to the positive result.”
In addition to increased sales of the Staldren® product, Jorenku has also experienced rising growth driven by its feed acids.
“There are eight different types of feed acids used in liquid feed and in drinking water, particularly for pigs and chickens, which lower the pH level in the water. We have seen strong growth in feed acids both in Denmark and across Europe. These two product groups have been the major ‘blockbusters’ for us over the past year,” explains Johnni Pedersen.
