About
J.A. ter Maten B.V. is a Dutch poultry processor and business-to-business supplier headquartered in Bunschoten-Spakenburg, the Netherlands. Established in 1978 by Jan ter Maten Sr., the company processes poultry raw materials into products for further manufacturing by food processors and pet food producers. Its activities centre on processing materials received from slaughterhouses and cutting plants rather than producing finished consumer meals. The company operates two production and storage locations in Bunschoten, at De Kooihoek and Copernicusweg. These facilities support the supply of fresh and deep-frozen products, with packaging and product specifications adapted to industrial customers’ requirements.
Products
The core range comprises mechanically deboned poultry meat, Baader meat and 3MM meat, alongside poultry offal and other poultry co-products. Mechanically deboned meat, marketed as MDM, is separated from bones under pressure to produce a fine-textured material for applications such as hot dogs, smoked sausages and luncheon meat. Available formats include fresh MDM, plate-frozen blocks and individually wrapped frozen blocks, with boxed options. Baader and 3MM products are separated using very low pressure, retaining more texture for applications including burgers and formed meat products. The listed range includes plate-frozen 3MM meat and white Baader meat, including a lean variant. Additional products include hearts, livers, gizzards, necks and poultry skins. Skin products include mechanically reduced and hand-sorted options, while several offal products are offered frozen, either in boxes or other listed formats. For pet food manufacturers, Ter Maten produces customer-specific mixtures and supplies animal by-products, including hearts, livers, gizzards, necks and residue from MDM processing. These materials are supplied fresh or deep-frozen in formats ranging from palletised loads and containers to tanker deliveries. The pet food operation can adjust mixtures to customers’ requested compositions.
Export markets
Ter Maten serves the Netherlands and other European markets, with Africa and Southeast Asia also identified as principal sales regions. Its international business supplies materials for further processing in the food and animal-feed industries. The company’s export activities therefore concern industrial poultry products and processing inputs rather than solely finished, branded retail foods.
