our company profile
GEBRÜDER CHRIST OHG, Handelsagentur, Frankfurt / Main, Germany has its origin as Fritz Christ Handelsvertretungen founded in May 1938 and started as an independent multi-account food broker for canned foods.
In the 1960s, Mr Fritz Christ had already adapted the specialisation to the poultry market. He had been registered in 1973 as a marketing and service company by Wolfgang & Hanspeter Christ, as commercial agents and food brokers supporting national and international manufacturers of frozen and chilled poultry products.
In the 1970s and 1980s, the company had focused on suppliers from France, Italy, the USA, as well as UK, Thailand, and Brazil. China and Chile followed in the early 1990s for inbound trade to the EU.
From 2010, when Christian Christ joined the family company, a strong customer network had been established in the Middle East & East Asia.
Today’s activities cover the whole supply chain of poultry, starting from live birds over chilled and frozen carcasses, cuts, and parts to ready to cook and ready to eat convenience items.
