Company Description
We, at Jack Links, are a global leader in branded protein snacks, a value-driven, family-owned business that is growing rapidly in EMEA. It started in April 2014 when Jack Links purchased Unilever's Bifi followed by Peperami brands in 2016, the Beef Jerky business was integrated, and we were able to operate autonomously in the EMEA region. Jack Links is built on authenticity and audacity. From our North Woods roots to being the world's #1 meat snack brand, we make things differently.
But we're not just about snacks; we're driven by our core values: We team up, we tell it like it is, we own our game and shoot for the moon. Values we bring to life. Every. Single. Day.
Peperami isn't just a snack – it's a brand with attitude, loved by millions across the UK and Ireland.
